MIYO MACIHOWIN WRITING RETREAT, June 5-9, 2023

 

As part of a suite of support for Feast Centre Indigenous STBBI scholars, the Feast Centre is piloting the Miyo macihowin Writing Retreat for those who are committed to engaging in an Indigenous approach to writing aimed at integrating one’s whole self into one’s writing.


Miyo macihowin contains good movement with possibility signalling the integration of movement, mind and spirit. The purpose of the retreat is to explore how we can de-colonize our writing and connect with the Land and each other to build a Circle of support that is safe and non-judgmental and write from our whole selves. This retreat is aimed at those developing Indigenous STBBI writing projects (i.e., thesis chapters, journal publications, community publications, creative community-targeted projects, and grant applications) who would benefit from dedicated space and time to write among your peers. 

The Feast Centre Miyo macihowin Writing Retreat took place in Manitou Springs Resort outside of Saskatoon, SK from June 5th to 9th, 2023.
