Nechi is an Indigenous Movement with 40 years’ of experience committed to holistic healing and healthy addictions-free lifestyles. Nechi Training, Research and
Health Promotions Institute is a place where healing and education meet.
• Curriculum is the end result of careful academic research and decades of practitioner experience working with Indigenous clients.
• Use a circle process, where everyone is equal and has equal input to contribute.
• Built on the sacred foundation of Natural Law.
• With the guidance of Elders, predecessors used these principles to initiate a transformative healing process for our Indigenous communities.
• Great progress has been made, but challenge to improve our lives as Indigenous peoples is ongoing.
