WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — To honor Indigenous Peoples' Day, the Stockbridge-Munsee Community's Tribal Historic Preservation Office presents a workshop led by Kim Hoffman, a descendant of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, entitled, "Healing Within the Community." 

 

The event is offered on Monday, Oct. 9 (Indigenous Peoples' Day) at 11 am, outdoors at the Mission House Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. 

 

The Clark Art Institute co-sponsors the event with the Trustees of the Reservation and Housatonic Heritage. The workshop is part of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community's exhibit, Our Lands, Our Home, Our Heart.

 

In this workshop, Hoffman explores staying connected to creation through compassion and tribal healing modalities. Trained in massage therapy and Asian bodywork, Hoffman shares holistic techniques. By timing the event on Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor and celebrate the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, the Indigenous peoples of the Berkshires.

 

Free. Advance registration through the Mission House Museum required; capacity is limited. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants are encouraged to bring a writing utensil and something to write on. To register, visit mohican.com/community-led-workshop-series. See clarkart.edu/events for more information.
