Governance
Indigenous Governance is not the same thing as government, management, corporate organisations, administration, and it’s also more than just leadership.
Creating successful Indigenous governance gives a nation, or organization the ways and means to achieve the things that matter to them. It aligns their goals and vision for a healthy prosperous community and provides with a framework to successful governance.

Workshop: Indigenous Perspectives on Self Care: Diabetes, Addictions, Lateral Violence, and Unresolved Trauma
“A well-meaning workshop that exceeds expectations, highly recommended facilitation by John Swift (No relation to Taylor Swift). Simply too good.
“Thank you for a different perspective on opening my way of looking at healing my life, but it is still looking at the same issues of Aboriginal people.”
Thank you for your kindness and gentleness, and calm and relaxing schedule. The knowledge we learned was big and stressful but I am glad we balanced it with laughs and meditation and yoga.”
“Awesome, got so much out of the workshop. Hope to have more.”
