Healing Garden
A joint project between Preston MC & Fairview MH.
In November 2024, the clouds broke and the sun came out to shine over the Land Blessing Ceremony for the Healing Garden.
John Somosi sang a song to connect us to our Creator, and Terre Chartrand shared and led the practice of smudging. We were honoured to have them teach us and bless this land as a space for healing and hope. We heard from leaders from Preston & Fairview who shared about the steps to get to this day, and the hopes of how this garden will be cherished in days to come.
Instead of “breaking ground” Terre, Muriel (Preston), and Elaine (Fairview) offered cedar tea to the land.
