Medicine Wheel Goal Setting with Christine M’Lot

Click here to visit Christine’s Classroom (aka her YouTube page)

The medicine wheel has been foundational to me as I have grown up and learned from many Anishinabe knowledge keepers here in Winnipeg, treaty one territory. The medicine wheel is a multi faceted series of teachings that can help us understand the world and understand ourselves. Christine M’Lot is a Anishinabe educator who has developed a fantastic series of 3 videos around goal setting and the medicine wheel. After checking them out myself, I can tell you that you would benefit, especially as we look to 2021, from making sure you are setting goals in a good way. This tool allows us to do just that.

Shout out to Create2Learn, a TakingITglobal program for making this video possible, learn more by clicking here.

Kinanaskomitin (thank you) Christine

Kinanaskomitin is thank you in my language, Ininew, more commonly known as Swampy Cree. It always feels appropriate to share a piece of my culture when someone so generously shares some of theirs. Reciprocity. I would like to thank Christine for putting these together and want to encourage anyone who is interested in goal setting from a cultural lens to take a look at these helpful goals. I know that I use the medicine wheel often but I still learned a couple new things, especially in the third video on tips, that I am going to carry with me and will help me in my wellness moving into the new year.

Hope you are all all well, happy new year and stay safe!
