ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Celebrate the 11th Annual Four Directions conference with us at Swinomish Lodge!

Many representatives of Tribal Nations and organizations working on community wellness programs throughout the Pacific Northwest have come together to plan this important four-day event for learning and sharing. As our Four Directions conference theme suggests, our goal is to Honor Our Past and Protect Our Future through holistic health, wellness, and recovery support. We hope to bring together Tribal leaders, behavioral health directors and counselors, education and prevention specialists, recovery and peer coaches, and representatives of the gaming industry to support each other with knowledge and experience around health issues, gambling disorder and other addictions, and financial and safety concerns that affect all our communities.

The first Four Directions conference in 2009 was a great success–so much so that interest grew rapidly in offering an expanded conference program. Today, we invite you to join in a fantastic celebration of our 11th Annual Four Directions conference. Please take a look at the full conference schedule to see all of the exciting opportunities for both training and cultural enrichment. From expanding knowledge and skills to experiencing healing and teaching tools that honor the traditional heritage of many cultures, your journey at Four Directions will illuminate your work and your life.

We hope you will join us for this 11th Annual Four Directions conference!

"In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it." --Marianne Williamson

Community connects us, supports us, and is essential to our well being. As we come together at Four Directions, we share the rich resources of wisdom and experience as we work with and learn from each other. It is also important to take time to share laughter, break bread, and celebrate. This year's Community Event celebrates the rich heritage of the past, the successes and challenges of our present, and the hopes and dreams for our future.

This special event; this beautiful meal; this wonderful celebration is a chance to share as a community, enjoy traditional and contemporary music, dance, and performance art.

Please join us in aCelebration of Community and Dinner
