About Us | Transformations

Why Transformations?

Transformations addresses the unique needs of First Nations communities. Our programs tackle the difficult issues that arise from residential schools and long-standing systemic failures.

Transformations is based on a new pedagogy of experiential learning that elevates the impact and retention of our content.

From the start of the process, we create a safe place for participants to be open and honest and to experience themselves and community in new and transformational ways.

How We Help

Traditions such as drumming, honouring the land, smudging, fires, and talking circles are all integrated into the process.

Our approach is holistic, addressing emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental health. We focus on creating a safe, compassionate space where everyone feels supported, and participants discover a new way of being.

Whether it’s through our monthly events, youth camps, or team development processes, Transformations is committed to the health and wellness of the First Nations of Canada.

Our Story
Transformations began in October 2015 with an invitation to assist a First Nations community that was facing significant challenges. While it was only supposed to be a one-time event, since that initial experience, we have grown to the point wheere more than 2,000 people have participated across 78 events with over 165 nations participating.

Our vision to support the needs of First Nations communities continues to expand and the next chapter is still to be written. Join us!
