Interview with William Baliko and Elder Joyce Healy

Joyce Healy and Marilyn Shingoose Lead standing on stage as they lead a workshop.

 On February 1st, 2025, we hosted a deeply enriching Medicine Wheel Workshop led by Elder Marilyn Shingoose and Elder Joyce Healy. The event was a tremendous success, drawing participants from across our community to explore the teachings of the Medicine Wheel and Indigenous holistic wellness.

We were also honored to have William Baliko from Windspeaker join us. Not only did William participate in the workshop, but he also conducted an insightful interview with Elder Joyce Healy. This interview provides a deeper understanding of the workshop's teachings and the wisdom shared by our esteemed Elders.

We invite you to listen to the full interview on Frequency News.
