About this Event

🌿 ReconciliACTION PLan & Well-Being: A 2.5-Hour In-Person & Virtual Workshop

Hosted by Kits Beach Coffee, Facilitated by Decolonize and Rize founders Vanessa Lesperance & Ariana Fotinakis


Join us for an exploratory 2-hour workshop that bridges the worlds of decolonization and increasing your capacity for change.

This circle includes: review of TRC's Calls to Action and UNDRIP; use of the Well-Being Workbook; theory; and developing your own reconciliACTION plan (either for yourself or your business).


What You’ll Experience:


  • 🌱 Explore how to build your window of resilience through increasing your capacity to change through building community and self-awareness.
  • 💬 Understand the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report as a framework, create a ReconciliACTION plan that will help you do your part to create a more just, equitable, and compassionate society for all.
  • 🛠 Learn the power and influence you hold in your workplace and community to create meaningful change.
  • 🤝 Engage in small group discussions and activities for deep reflection and integration.

💻 ONLINE TICKETS: For those who purchase online tickets, Sarah, Director of Community Engagement with Kits Beach Coffee, will reach out with more details on how to access the workshop via Zoom.
