IN-PERSON WORKSHOP
The Tree of Life: An Intercultural, Collective, and Multi-Identity Affirming Experience for Youth Workers
🗓️ THURSDAY, MAY 29TH | 9:30AM to 3:30PM | York University, Toronto
This free, in-person workshop will introduce youth workers to the Tree of Life, a culturally affirming and trauma-informed narrative therapy approach developed by Ncazelo Ncube-Mlilo in collaboration with David Denborough.
Rooted in African Indigenous wisdom and guided by the principles of Imbeleko, Sankofa, and Ubuntu, the Tree of Life is a storytelling, narrative-based workshop that invites participants to explore their identities, strengths, and stories of survival through the powerful metaphor of a tree.
Facilitated by Special Guests Shayla S. Dube and Noreen Sibanda.

ONLINE TEACH-IN
Healing In Community: Practicing Ubuntu and H.A.R.M.O.N.Y. in Youth Work
🗓️ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11TH | 1PM to 2:30PM | Online
YouthREX is excited to host this online Teach-In featuring Special Guest Shayla S. Dube. In this powerful and interactive session, participants will be introduced to Ubuntu – an African worldview rooted in collective care, interdependence, and sacred relationality.
Moving beyond individualistic models of healing, this event centres the wisdom that “a person is a person through other people” and explores what that means in the context of youth work and community wellbeing.
