Stomp Day - Day of Healing was designed by Robert Peters to utilize a stomp dance ceremony to Heal Mother Earth, and remember those lost to and the families affected by addiction. During the event, participants will stomp a design into the ground, led by performers in a process intended to imprint the image permanently into the grass. This design, once completed, will serve as a healing path for continued use in meditation and prayer. The day will also feature workshops, information stands, and vendors, enhancing the communal healing experience. This project, deeply rooted in the Indigenous community's need for cultural and spiritual spaces, aims to provide a lasting, physical symbol of resilience and recovery.
