COVID Release Labyrinth Walk | Tuesday, September 21 and Thursday, September 23

Picture
Royal Recreational Trail, Speed River, Guelph
7pm to 9pm Tuesday and Thursday  |   Free


We need the strength of community to hold the magnitude of the impacts of COVID. The weight of grief is lessened when shared.
​

I feel guided to offer this labyrinth walk as one step in the unfolding process of grieving the losses all of us have faced during COVID. Many of us have lost loved ones who have died, and felt the pain of not being able to gather at their bedside or be together at a memorial. Jobs and housing and financial stability have been lost. Our mental and emotional wellbeing has suffered. And innumerable other large and small losses and challenges are ongoing.

Guelph Death Cafe | Sunday, March 29, 2020

Picture
*
Unfortunately I need to cancel this offering of Guelph Death Cafe. Stay tuned for a rescheduled date. Take care of each other, friends. 

 This event will now be rescheduled to take place online in order to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. I will update this event listing with a link to join the call via Zoom online chat. It will be free to join, no Zoom account needed to join. ​​

Why is it “morbid” to talk about an ending that happens to every single one of us? Not talking about death won’t make it easier to manage. A Death Cafe creates space for an open and relaxed conversation about death and dying over a cup of tea. The Death Cafe model aims to shift the conversation around death from one of fear or avoidance to that of familiarity and comfort.

EnGAYgement: Queer Wedding Advice. No BS  |  Sat, Feb 1

Picture
10C Shared Space, 42 Carden St
2pm to 4pm. $10/PWYC


Queer partners who want to celebrate their partnership on their own terms can feel pressured in to expectations and norms that feel like hard no’s! In part because the wedding industry is built around assumptions of heterosexuality and normative gender identities. It can be intimidating to wade through the BS in order to discover what is actually a good fit for how you want to celebrate. 
But never fear, your friendly local queer wedding professionals are here to help!
