Learning through experience
Walk through history.
Reflect on our shared future.
The Kairos Blanket Exercise is a powerful, Indigenous-led learning experience that helps participants deepen their understanding of the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization on Indigenous Peoples.
Through an interactive workshop, participants explore key moments in history—including pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization and Indigenous resistance—while reflecting on reconciliation and our shared future.
Available both in-person and virtually, the Kairos Blanket Exercise is accessible to communities, organizations, schools, faith groups and workplaces across Canada. Every exercise is led by Indigenous trainers and qualified facilitators, ensuring the experience honours Indigenous knowledge, traditions and perspectives.
Facilitators and partners expand access to reconciliation education while honouring Indigenous leadership and local protocols.
