Meet Mary Boyden

Mary Boyden is a heart-centered leader and committed to creating a world that works well for all people. Having cut her teeth in underground mines more than 40 years ago, and having worked in some of the most difficult arenas, from mining to homeless Indigenous youth and sex trafficking in the heart of one of Canada’s oldest mining regions, to healing of the land and traditional ceremony, you will never see her without a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone she works with. She is a true bridge between worlds, Indigenous and non, spiritual and secular. Mary has been working for the past 8 years on developing ways of bringing together Indigenous knowledge with western science to heal and restore the land from more than 100 years of mining in Timmins.
