This workshop focuses on strong group cohesion, enhance open communication, and cultivate a sense of belonging. Participants will explore how these elements contribute to effective problem-solving and positive group dynamics.

This training emphasizes engaging with distress while reducing harm in a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive manner. It focuses on recognizing how your presence can either escalate or de-escalate distress, emphasizing engaged presence, real-time dynamic risk assessment, and confident responses.

This session offers ample space for practice, reflection, and skill-building, developed in partnership with Main Street Project and Siloam Mission.

This workshop provides an in-depth look at anti-oppressive and strengths-based approaches to understanding and responding effectively to behaviours of concern in social settings. Participants will gain practical strategies grounded in promising practices.

Topics include placemaking, truth-telling, reconciliation reflection and action planning. Momenta will also share their two-eyed seeing model that brings together the Leave No Trace Principles and the Seven Grandfather Teachings called “Adventure for Good.”

This workshop will be outdoors and participants should expect a shared experience on the land, including activities and reflections about their past, present and future relationship with land. We ask participants to arrive with an open mind and curiosity to learn and grow.

This training series is facilitated by Lise Brown, Co-Founder at Momenta, along with Adrian Alphonso - a Band and Community Member of Waywayseecappo First Nation. He leads on Treaty One Territory to honour truth and reconciliation and inspire a connection to the land.

At Momenta we teach to and lead by our values in Wînipêk, in Treaty One Territory. Treaty One was signed in 1871 by the original peoples of the territory – the Anishinaabe and Nehiyaw Peoples. Wînipêk is the heartland of the Red River Métis.

At Momenta, we commit to knowing the truth and responding to the calls to action of the Indian Residential School survivors. We are currently accountable to Calls to Action 90, 83, 11 and 13. Momenta’s Reconciliation reports are published in the annual Winnipeg Indigenous Accord which is accessible to the public from 2020 to present. We will continue to set goals with actions and lead by our responsibility for reconciliation.

Miigwetch to Murray Sinclair and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada for guiding all of us to Truth & Reconciliation.
