Sometimes friendships end. This can be one of the most difficult experiences that a person can go through. Let's talk about it. But rather than divulging the gory details, let's help each other process the grief.

It's been a while since we've held a Junk Journal workshop. This is a great way to express yourself when you don't have many words to process experiences. By applying collage, doodling and colour to a page you can release joy, pain, curiosity, negativity and many more emotions.

Please register for this workshop, to help us make sure we have enough materials to go around.

We postponed this Talk a while back but we think it an important topic during these difficult times, so we are facilitating it next Tuesday Aug 4th.

During this chat, we will make mini zines to keep in our back pockets, to remind us of all the good things in our lives.

A zine, if you already don't know, is a little booklet that can be informative, and/or personal. They are very fun to make, and super easy.

We are closed for Natal Day.

Come and create some Affirmation Bunting Flags with us. We'll have templates, but also you are free to do your own thing too. All supplies will be provided.

Fertlily journeys can be lonely.

Lets share the road.

Dr. Elhassan along with Lilac Place are working to bring us together and help along the way!

Most of us have an aversion to making mistakes, and we will do anything to avoid making them.

We will even go so far as to neglect important situations that need immediate attention at the expense of our mental and physical health, in fear of doing something wrong. And in turn not learning and growing.

Join us Tuesday July 21st at Lilac Place to discuss how to develop some resiliency around making mistakes with integrity.

This facilitated discussion will start at 5:30pm

Poetry and Creative Writing are great ways to channel feelings and process experiences, even if you think you don't know how to do it. This is a low stakes space to experiment some creativity.
