Description

Woven Spirit: Threads of Wisdom is a powerful youth-run podcast series presented by the Indian Residential School Survivor Society (IRSSS). This engaging series explores themes of Indigenous resilience and intergenerational healing, led by passionate young hosts Jodi Bob, Olivia Kate Iatridis, and Teka Desjarlais.

Through heartfelt conversations with survivors of residential schools, the hosts delve into the lasting impacts of colonization and the transformative journeys these individuals have undertaken to reclaim their narratives.

Woven Spirit not only aims to enlighten allies but also seeks to engage a wider audience in meaningful discussions about healing and resilience. Each episode serves as a beacon of hope, encouraging young people to embark on their own healing journeys with intention and purpose. This podcast is a vital resource for fostering understanding and solidarity within and beyond Indigenous communities.
