A remarkable partnership has formed: Réseau Compassion Network and 11 congregations of Sisters have given back 130 acres of waterfront land for the Clan Mothers Healing Village and Knowledge Centre.
This act sparked a relationship between Women of Spirit—Catholic and Indigenous—committed to open, honest dialogue about the past, present, and future, with the goal of reconciliation. We recognize that this process will take time and may not always be comfortable.
The site, in Belair Manitoba, features a mix of wooded areas, native grasses, and natural water, making it ideal for ceremonies, outdoor activities, and programming. Outdoor spaces are central to the holistic healing, education, and programming offered at the Village.
Economically, the Village’s social enterprises will provide training and education for residents, fostering self-empowerment and community development. Proceeds from these enterprises will be reinvested into the Village, supporting operational sustainability.
