Q Healing

Restoring land, language, and community

The Qweqwetsin Family & Healing Lodge Society carries land-based healing into the everyday — a place where ceremony, youth, and language belong together. Rooted in Secwépemc teachings, it invites families home to the land and to one another.

Land-based healing

Ceremony, fire, and time on the land — restoring relationship with self, kin, and place.

Youth camps

Seasonal gatherings where young people learn from Elders, land, and one another.

Language revitalization

Carrying Secwepemctsín forward — words remembered are ways of seeing reclaimed.

Cultural programming

Song, story, and practice that keep ancestral knowledge living in community.
