We present 3 of our SPECIAL GUESTS
Phyllis McKenna: Anishnawbe Self-Help Author & Traditional Jingle Dress Dancer
Our Special Guest Phyllis McKenna, representing the Ojibway Eagle Clan will be introducing us to the sacredness of the Jingle Dress Dance, accompanied by her son Daniel who is 12. Phyllis McKenna, recently elected as the vice-president equity at Ryerson university in Toronto, is an Indigenous rights activist and Ojibwe First Nations’ student who plans to implement recommendations for universities made by the United Nations’ Truth and Reconciliation Report on Indigenous Peoples. Reconciliation calls for personal action. “The calls to action in the report are for all Canadians (TRC, 2015 p. 316). This means that its everyone’s shared responsibility to become familiar with, understand, and personally work to address these calls to action”.
“It has been my passion to encourage others to speak up and have a voice in my Indigenous community. Now, I want to share this passion with CESAR,” she said. Aside from her Indigenous advocacy, she’s also had being worked with RAIN to Heal Me — our initiative to raise awareness on climate change, self-realization, inner-peace and oneness.

Can’t wait for this event! I haven’t been able to make it to the other events so this one is going to be special for me. And I can’t wait to hear the Tabla, such beautiful drumming, I have heard him play before and I have felt it inside of me and it brought tears streaming down my face in a wonderful release. Amazing!!
