Yellowknife Womens Gathering

In her book, Braving the Wilderness, research professor, Brené Brown, recounts a story of women who lived in a village and would gather by the river often to wash their clothes together. These women all moved onto the latest technology – washing machines – and not long after the rates of depression in the village increased. It wasn’t the washing machines per se causing the depression, but the loss of connection, social interaction, the sense of belonging, and community that was a consequence of gathering by the river do the washing. Without this daily ritual these women were lonely.

Keeping this mind, I am hoping a few of us can gather weekly or bi-weekly basis to discuss what is important to you. Maybe you heard a new podcast, read a new book, article or anything that relates to communal well-being.
Inclusive to all.
