As Canadians, we all have the role to play in the reconciliation process. We are all treaty people. Though its workshops, Returning to Spirit helps facilitate the process in a vert meaningful and tangible way. Their program inpires individuals to reconcile with themselves and their pasts and then helps pave the way to reconcile with others.

I participated in the Returning to Spirit program with my father. It was a powerful tool that contributed in positively transforming our relationship in the final years of his life.

I encourage your to support Returning to Spirit's reconciliation workshops through partnership, sponsorship, or participation. When we work together towards reconciliation, Canada will be better for it.

I certainly wish to thank RTS for all they have offered me and all they have offered countless people and so many communities. I would certainly hope RTS finds the support it needs to operate for many, many years to come. For in fact, the values, insights and challenges brought forward by RTS cross all ages and times, cross all of humanity in its great diversity.

I want to recognize and thank Returning to Spirit for the work you are doing to engage the community in the process of reconciliation. I very much appreciate your focus on a two-step process to first propare individuals to reconcile with themselves and then secondly to begin the community's grassroots reconciliation journey on a human level.

As Mayor of Winnipeg, my goal is to make our city a place that respectfully recognizes and embrances Indigenous culture, history, and identity. The signing of the Indigenous Accord brought more than 80 groups and organizations together in that common goal. There is much work to be done by groups, organization and individuals to truly experience reconciliation, and your workshops are an ideal way for people to connect.

Returning to Spirit has and does produce good fruit on the journey of Reconciliation and I would recommend this process to all sincere of more healed world.

RTS is an extremely well-designed workshop with a highly skilled group of educators.  I would recommend RTS to individuals and groups in all sectors – education, community, health, business, governments, faith.  It is most needed  in bringing balance, healing and reconciliation in  all aspects of our lives.

Returning to Spirit is an amazing example of an organization that inspires individuals, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to take the necessary steps to reconcile with their past to transform their - and our country's - future.
