Born from a podcast. Carried by spirit. Grounded in kinship, culture, and movement
Wâhkôhtowin in Motion (WiM)
About the Program
Wâhkôhtowin in Motion (WiM) is a land-based, movement-focused program designed to support youth well-being through physical activity, cultural connection, and relationship-building. Rooted in the Cree principle of Wâhkôhtowin—the understanding of kinship, responsibility, and interconnectedness—WiM creates opportunities for youth to strengthen their connection to themselves, one another, and the land.
The program emphasizes movement as a tool for regulation, confidence-building, and healing. Activities are intentionally designed to be accessible, inclusive, and responsive to youth interests and abilities. Programming may include land-based activities, outdoor recreation, seasonal cultural practices, and movement-centered experiences that promote physical health, emotional resilience, and teamwork.
WiM prioritizes safety, consistency, and trauma-informed practice. Youth participate in structured activities led by trained staff, with clear safety protocols and supervision in place. The program creates alternative, positive spaces for youth to engage outside of traditional systems, reducing isolation and strengthening protective factors.
Wâhkôhtowin in Motion operates as a distinct program within The Comeback Society, separate from mentorship services. While it complements the Building Kinship Ties Mentorship Program, WiM focuses specifically on group-based, activity-driven engagement rather than one-to-one mentorship.
Through movement, land-based learning, and community connection, Wâhkôhtowin in Motion supports youth in building confidence, strengthening relationships, and developing healthy routines that contribute to long-term well-being.
