"...the most insistent of all the problems civilization has to face... Is there any way of delivering [humanity] from the menace of war?" Einstein to Freud, 1932

What about inviting some friends over for a movie night and watching an indigenous-made film?

"On the Way" reflects a non-Indigenous Christian lens aiming for improved relationships through voluntary action and cultural participation.

Welcome to On the Way. Through this blog series, I invite you to walk alongside me as I (imperfectly) explore practical steps settlers can take toward better relationships with Indigenous peoples.

A warm welcome to the first post of "On the Way."

My thought this morning:
I'm white, male, living in BC my whole life, healthy, etc -- If I speak up against evil, I am way less at risk of bad repercussions than if I were a woman, living in a developing country, a person of colour, etc. It's my job to call out oppressive behaviour. And also to be humble enough to receive being called out by others.

So much unpredictability in the world today! So much geopolitical power-shifting! These realities leave me feeling stressed and anxious.

Prayer and Wellbeing?
This is mostly for my dear friends in Mpumalanga:
My friends in Mpumalanga, South Africa, told me yesterday that crime has seen worrisome increase and people are not feeling safe. They asked for prayer. So I prayed. https://danlmitchell.ca/blog/f/health-wellness-and-prayer?fbclid=IwY2xjawH2XNVleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHfIgLbgcMnFVEyLx25yRu2lyBps3JcKmDCnEUfNO9irFP-LtNcjL9uZ8KQ_aem_reMIjgxJrtxQ4lYjVeJnpg&blogcategory=Healing+%26+Health

What would it be like to see a counsellor? Talkingcanhelp.ca is a website for individuals seeking information and support about the profession of counselling and psychotherapy.

Great news! You may not have to pay out of pocket for counselling if it's covered by your insurance! I've been waiting my entire career for all the major insurance companies to cover services provided by Canadian Certified Counsellors.

My friends in South Africa know all about this!!

Dance, one of humanity's oldest art forms, traces its roots back over 10,000 years. Its rhythmic movements are known to release endorphins, strengthen connections, and even increase our pain tolerance.
