I am incredibly honoured to announce Elder Lekeyten of the Kwantlen First Nation as our special guest speaker for In Good Relation: 108 Sun Salutations for National Indigenous Peoples' Day, and the International Day of Yoga gathering on June 21
As Elder in Residence at Elder Lekeyten has supported and inspired countless students, faculty, and community members through his wisdom, humour, generosity, and commitment to fostering understanding across cultures and communities.
When planning this gathering, it was important that it be about more than movement. While we will come together to practice yoga and move through 108 Sun Salutations, we also wanted to create space for learning, reflection, relationship, and meaningful community connection.
Many people will go their entire lives without having the opportunity to learn directly from an Indigenous Elder. I recognize what a privilege it is to welcome Elder Lekeyten and are deeply grateful for the teachings, perspective, and wisdom he will share as we begin our day together.
His presence helps ground this gathering in something larger than ourselves, a reminder that community is built through listening, learning, and coming together with openness and respect.
Thank you, Elder Lekeyten, for your generosity and for joining us.
I have been overwhelmed by the response to this event and are grateful to share that ALL spots have currently been claimed.
