Tea Party Summary

We started our event with a beautiful and grounding opening outside led by Debbie Cardinal who helped us to start this gathering in a good way. Debbie then helped to smudge each participant and showed led us through making medicine ties. We then headed inside to watch the premier of the two inaugural BCC3 study videos: “Journey Through the BCC3 Study” and “Exploring the Cote Lab”. We then had a meaningful and informative discussion about methods for improving the BCC3 videos, ideas for future videos, and overall study improvement. These important conversations were accompanied by delicious high tea-style refreshments!
