The curriculum is divided into 12 one hour sessions to be delivered on a weekly or bi-weekly basis by trained facilitators. It is adaptable to any audience (age group/cultural traditions) and is based on the core cultural values of wholeness and connectedness, balance, healing and respect. While the focus of the program is on loss and grief, it is complemented by teachings on and about the Medicine Wheel and Medicine Bags. In addition, it is informed by the work of Bendtro, Brokenleg and Bockern (2004) in the Circle of Courage and the four core values of belonging, mastery, independence and generosity.
