This curriculum incorporates teachings from the four directions of the medicine wheel and the four candles of Advent. Circles are sacred to Indigenous people; they show how cycles repeat, and how everything is interconnected. Through this curriculum, we will explore the interconnectedness of the four directions and the teachings of Advent. This curriculum was written in partnership with Marilyn Robitaille, a Métis woman from Ontario.

We encourage you to put together a lesson that works best with your group's needs (ages, energy levels, one room/multi room, etc.) Reach out if you have any questions or need any guidance.
