Since 2014, Humber College has been hosting an annual gathering called the Indigenous Knowledge Gathering. Over the past six years, thousands of Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners have gathered to share ideas on a variety of topics. Each year the gathering grows and explores new areas of conversation!

For the 2019/2020 academic year, we are excited to announce our upcoming #IndigenousKnowledgesGathering will be happening this fall from November 21 to 23.

Educating the Heart, Mind, Body and Spirit

This year’s theme, Educating the Heart, Mind, Body and Spirit, envisions an education system deeply connected to place, community, and planet. IKG will bring students, educators, and communities together once again to explore the knowledges, skills, and education strategies required to build a better future. IKG will feature an exciting program of keynote presentations, networking, interactive workshops, and breakout discussion circles, alongside rich cultural programming. 

This is an extremely valuable opportunity for all staff and faculty to attend as professional development, along with the potential to add this gathering to your critical path for students to further their education.

There is still space in the workshop Voice Improvement Coaching on November 21.

Do you spend a lot of time talking at meetings, over the phone, one-on-one, or speaking to large groups? Does your voice get tired by the end of the day? Do you feel you speak too softly or quickly?

Your voice is an important tool for communication and it has a profound impact on your listeners. The sound of your voice either pushes people away or draws people in. 

Almost everyone has the potential for a rich, clear, and effective voice. A voice that expresses who you truly are, has a positive impact on others, and sounds open and confident. Some reconditioning can result in a new, freer voice...natural and distinct! 

In this workshop you will learn:

• Exercises to help you open up your voice
• How proper breathing, relaxation and your natural resonators can help you speak
• Solutions to your unique voice problems
• How to speak with energy and commitment
• Gain a new, self-awareness of the connection between your body and voice
• Bonus – to have some fun with the process!

Facilitator: Cathy Sobocan, Raise Your Voice Coaching
