Don't forget to join us on Tuesday September 1st at 5:15 for family night and 7 grandfather teachings education.
The 7 grandfather teachings originated from the Anishinaabe people, they were given as a gift from Gizhe-Manidoo to help watch over humanity as we move through life's cycles. As the Grandfathers witnessed us struggling each sent a helper who could teach us to learn how to live and grow in harmony with all creation.
Now days the 7 grandfather teachings have been adopted by many tribes across turtle island as guiding principles to living life in a good way. While we lead up to Tuesdays family night talk among your family about how you can show eachother examples of each teaching in every day life.

Some journeys to parenthood are longer than expected. Some look completely different than expected.

This month, during Infertility Awareness Month, we're holding space for the many individuals and families navigating infertility and fertility challenges (often quietly and often alone).

If this is part of your story, we see you.

If you're in a place where you'd like to share your story, we'd love your input as we think about how our community can create spaces of support, connection, and understanding.
