Good Morning All,<br>
I'm hoping to get this question out to all on the Wellness Court
listserv to get your input.<br>
<br>
I provide support to the Ashland Wisconsin <i>Wellness &
Recovery Court</i> that serves primarily Ojibwe individuals in
northern WI. We have enhanced the long-running county drug court to
create a Wellness Court hybrid by incorporating the Wellness Court
10 Key Components and traditional teachings.<br>
<br>
A question for all of you out there....do any of you smudge as a
group/team at the beginning of court hearings? If so, how do you
handle the non-smoking rules for public buildings? We live in a
climate where going outside isn't always practical. I'm aware that
some smudge with water instead.....do any of you do that? We are
trying to determine if this is feasible or if there are alternatives
to help get everyone focused and in the right mindset for the
hearing discussions. We have a participant do an opening for the
hearings to start in a good way, but are looking to enhance that.<br>
<br>
Any help will be appreciated.<br>
Thank you,<br>
Kit<br>
