In stories and songs we find strength, insight, reflection and healing. They help us move towards understanding and wellness. Come join us and let’s get connected to each other again in an exquisite evening to rejuvenate the spirits. Feature authors include: CBC host Grant Lawrence, author of A Return to Solitude, recounting his experiences with family and beloved characters at Desolation Sound on the remote west coast. Chad Sayers, author of Overexposure: A Story About a Skier will tell his story of risk, the beauty of nature and his journey through a change in consciousness. Plains Cree writer and National Poet Laureate Louise B. Halfe - Sky Dancer employs Indigenous spirituality, black comedy, and the memories of her own childhood as healing arts in Bear Bones & Feathers. Barbadian-Canadian writer Jasmine Sealy’s debut novel The Island of Forgetting is an intimate generational saga about love and the ways the trauma of a family’s past can haunt its future. Woven throughout the evening are songs by Dustin Bentall and the Blue Wranglers, a Clinton bluegrass band set to entertain and inspire with songs about the countryside, rural life and community.

This is an age 19+ event.
