L2M – Link Between Worlds

Link Between Worlds is a project that combines play therapy techniques and teaching creative expression to Indigenous peoples and communities that typically are not given a voice. The objective of Link Between Worlds, through an intensive/retreat format, is to teach and provide a safe space for indigenous people to grow and learn skills in storytelling/filmmaking, creating an outlet for image discovery, cultural retention, career ownership, entrepreneurship and healing through storytelling. Delivery in a traditional “with the land” setting encourages familiarity and group participation. Participants will acquire many tools to embark on a refreshed perspective on life.
The challenges we are facing are rooted in the differences between each indigenous community from a presentation/facilitation perspective. Additional challenges include determining which market would be our best primary customer, Governments/Bands, Institutions/Treatment centers or individuals. Lastly, scalability is another challenge we seek to overcome.
Launch will provide insight into our marketing strategy, aid in constructing our pilot offering, and assisting in determining our primary targets.
