Ceremony Leader and Traditional Knowledge Keeper xʕayluxalqs,
Tricia Manuel
xʕayluxalqs (Fox Dress), also known by her English name Patricia Manuel, is a member of the Syilx Okanagan Nation–Upper Nicola Band. She is a Syilx traditional knowledge holder, carrier of the Syilx puberty ceremony and the granddaughter of Syilx hereditary chiefs.
As a Traditional Knowledge Keeper and positive role model, she has been instrumental in the
promotion of wellness and healing for families, community and Nation. Xwʕayluxalqs was raised to give back and when she speaks of her work, she’s not talking about her job. She speaks of the work she’s doing for her people — standing ceremonies up again, and reminding x̌ax̌a youth who are going through rites of passage that doing ceremonies to care for the land is vital to the continued existence of the People.

Co-Facilitator, Heal Your Life® Coach, Transformation Expert, and Spiritual Leader, Jacquie Hunter
I’ve spent the last 24 years of my life becoming free from addictions and limiting patterns of behavior. I’ve become certified in many disciplines and sorted through what works for our people and what simply doesn’t. I’m committed to helping to change lives every day, and my life mission is to bring healing and transformation to the Indigenous peoples of Canada.
I deliver a workshop on personal development. It is a transformational experience that will lift your spirit and outlook on life. I am a Certified Heal You Life® Coach and Licensed Workshop Teacher based on the philosophy of Louise L. Hay. Learn more about me at www.enlightenfirst.com
