Hello lovely Salt Spring, are you perhaps looking to get involved in your local community? We have a meaningful program called the "Goodwill Ambassador Program". We are all about making connections in the downtown Ganges area! Scheduling is flexible and generally a 2 hour walk per week works well. You would be walking with a buddy, starting meaningful chats with people out and about! Curious to hear more? Please feel free to email us! Sweet Sunday wishes, the GAP team ๐ŸŒป

A fantastic community opportunity to connect and learn!! Thank you Transition Salt Spring Society ๐Ÿ˜Š

If you are looking for support, please don't hesitate to attend this grief circle that is being offered. Grief is rarely linear and is often described as a wave that ebbs and flows. No matter what stage you are at in your journey, gentle and informed support can help you if you wish. ๐Ÿ’›

Join us for a Grief Circle with Maggie Ziegler, a supportive space to honour the complex feelings we carry for our changing world.

๐Ÿ—“ Sunday, June 7th | 2pm - 4pm
๐Ÿ“ Salt Spring Hospice (202 - 118 Fulford Ganges Rd)
๐Ÿ’ฐ Cost: Pay What You Can

In a small facilitated group, we will share the feelings โ€“ grief, anger, despair and more โ€“ that we carry about living in difficult times. Coming together to name and honour both our gratitude and our pain for the world enhances our resilience, builds connection and strengthens our actions.

Maggie Ziegler is a former psychotherapist who specialized in trauma and is an experienced facilitator who has worked in diverse contexts, including holding space for our collective expressions of sorrow. She has trained extensively with eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, who developed a pioneering form of group work called The Work That Reconnects. Maggie is also walking the path of grounding this work in practices of decolonization.

Space is limited to keep the circle intimate.

Our Salt Spring Island Public Library just announced the next date for the kid's makers market! This will be the third one the library is hosting due to popular demand. These events give kids the opportunity to craft, host a booth, learn about selling and be part of community. If you are looking for a lovely Father's Day weekend activity, you could swing over to the library and have a browse. You may just find a gift or treat for dad (or yourself ๐Ÿ˜‰) The vendor applications are currently open, so you could even explore being part of the event with a kiddo in your life!

And just like that, May has arrived ๐ŸŒฟ It's Mental Health Awareness Month. Taking care of your mental health is part of taking care of your whole self. Some days are heavier than others, and thatโ€™s okay. Everyone experiences challenges at times and reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. By talking openly, listening without judgment, and checking in on one another, we can create a community where people feel seen, supported, and not alone. The more we normalize these conversations, the easier it becomes for everyone to feel understood and supported. What are some of you go-to's that help you on a rainy day? โ˜”๏ธ
