Indigenous Wellbeing Gathering Conference

The Indigenous Wellbeing Gathering Conference is a multidisciplinary conference dedicated to fostering collaborations and knowledge sharing that prioritize the wellbeing of Indigenous communities. Hosted by the Urban Indigenous Wellbeing Collective, this two-day event brings together Elders, researchers, trainees, and community partners to address community-identified research priorities and develop cross-university and community networks. Featuring a keynote speech from Senator Margo Greenwood, interactive roundtables, panel discussions, and artistic presentations, this gathering aims to create a space for learning and exchange on the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health of community members across generations. Join us to engage  with Indigenous perspectives and practices, explore innovative research, and strengthen your connections to Indigenous communities locally, nationally, and internationally. This event will be hosted at the Manteo Resort in Kelowna on October 13-14, 2023.
