Embodying Our Place
For: All
TBA, virtual session
Where do you live? In the GTB! How can we better understand and feel into our place, the Greater Tkaronto Bioregion? Seeing and speaking for our local land, rivers, and lakes brings a powerful new perspective to activities. It helps us see beyond our own life story into the story of lifetimes across generations, in a complex ecological, cultural, and historical context. If you're interested in being included on the invitation list, e-mail us.
Note that in-person events will take place in a well-ventilated space and all those in attendance will be encouraged to wear a mask to protect everyone participating.
There is no cost to attend any of these events.
