Thank you for spaces that strengthen and connect, Big Hill Haven💜

September 21 to 27 is Gender Equality Week – and this matters more than you might think. 🟣

Did you know that gender inequality is one of the key drivers of family and domestic violence?

When we promote respect, equal opportunities, pay equity and challenge outdated gender roles, we’re not just making things more fair — we’re helping to prevent violence before it starts.

💬 What can you do?
✅ Speak up against disrespect and harmful stereotypes
✅ Support equal roles at home and in the workplace
✅ Teach kids that kindness, consent, and respect are for everyone
✅ Celebrate the strength in diversity and inclusion

We all have a role to play in building safer, more respectful communities. 💜

👉 Equality isn’t just the goal – it’s part of the solution.

The journey toward Truth and Reconciliation is ongoing—and it begins with each of us choosing to learn, listen, and act. Acknowledging the truths of our shared history is the first and most important step toward real change.

📖 Start by reading the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action: https://nctr.ca/records/reports/

You are welcome in the circle! Join us in Cremona on the 4th Tuesday of every month (106 1 Ave E, Cremona, AB T0M 0B9) from noon - 1:30pm. What do we mean when we talk about "grief"? Simply, it is the loss you are carrying. That could be the loss of someone you love, or the loss of a complicated relationship. Divorce, job change, illness, shifting identity -- any part of your life where you are wrestling with the complicated feelings that go with the loss of something. Cremona FCSS, thank you for this community offering!

One of the places we've been🥰 'Facilitating some sessions at a faith community, family retreat where we explored the link between spirituality and community through play and story telling. We wondered: what if we're spiritual beings having a playful human experience; what if we're human beings having a playful spiritual experience? 'Not so serious...some of the time.

There's a place for you in the circle this Wednesday, September 17th. Join us at the Cochrane Public Library | (10:30am - 12:00pm) for a conversation about the griefs we carry -- new loss, or wearying and old; the loss of someone we love; the loss of identity-job-relationship-health; the longing for Something More. However grief may be visiting you right now, you and your story are welcome. No registration or cost. 💙

Girl, what if you are not broken? Not less than or too much. Not a problem to be solved, a crime, or a burden? There is a wild and wonderful treasure hidden beneath all of that wound. What if we stopped trying (trying so, so hard) to be better? What if we learned to simply Be?

Remember Alana Burton, Somatic Reawakenings? 10/10 recommend!🥰

This September, let’s begin again - not with hurry, but with presence and ease.

Somatic Movement helps you release patterns of muscle tension that may have built up from stress, injuries, or daily habits. Through gentle, mindful practice, you’ll increase awareness, restore mobility and balance, and rediscover the ease and freedom in moving that feels natural and joyful.

September group classes are a chance to begin again—slowing down, nourishing your body, and inviting more comfort into everyday life.

Please dm to learn more or register.
