Ojibwe Teaching of Smudging

Smudging, whether with sage or other herbs is an ancient ceremony passed down through oral tradition through generations. It has been practiced by Indigenous people for thousands of years. Recently it has become misappropriated in American society. The intention of this workshop is to offer the opportunity to receive the smudging teaching through oral tradition so others can carry this sacred medicine authentically.

Join me as we host Peter “Goon Halfaday, a member of the Bad River Band of Ojibwe from Ashland, WI. He is a Fire Keeper, Chef, and Indigenous food sovereignty expert as he shares this teaching with us.

In Ojibwe tradition, when we seek teaching from an elder, it is tradition to bring an offering to make merit. An offering of wild rice, maple syrup, or tobacco. For this teaching of sacred medicine Chelsea Lambert Enterprises will be making such an offering. Feel free to bring your own too as a personal offering if you feel called to do so.
