- the intention -
⛅️ Go outside
🌿 Connect with the land
🧡 Share thoughts and feelings about Truth & Reconciliation
👯♂️ Build community connections
- the invitation -
Join this one-hour(ish) reflection on National Truth & Reconciliation day/week/month/lifetime and our roles and responsibilities as treaty people. We'll offer prompts to guide personal reflection as well as discussion in small groups while we embrace the season and scenary of the land that holds us.
Everyone is welcome. There is no fee to participate.
- the offer -
We'll hold the space to play a classic game of 'two truths and a lie' based on materials from the National Centre of Truth & Reconciliation, speak to the settler history of the Courthouse and land it sits on, and encourage folks to sit with any discomfort that arises.
We'll also point out some plant kin along the way.
Just bring yourself dressed for the weather, a cup to share in some tea we'll provide, and perhaps something to sit on (chair or mat). This offering is rain or shine.
- the ask -
That you bring your whole self, your curiosity, and your kindness. You listen fully to others and share honestly. You tread lightly, and lean in to any grief and/or joy that arises.
- the details -
Meet us in front of the Ontario Court of Justice / Picton Courthouse (44 Union Street) on the walkway toward Union Street at 6pm. We'll walk together around the building and then hunker down under the maple trees near the front. This includes walking on some uneven lawn and pathway.
Feral Folc is oranized by Becky Lamb, a white, settler, cis-gendered, neurodivergent, queer woman with a desire to create gatherings that allow for those with privilege to reflect on ways they can do less harm. These identity factors inform the way this offering is made, and may not be the lens for everyone.
If you’re late or lost you can text Becky at 613-503-1309
