Solastalgia: Community Chapbook Workshop

This series has had so much interest and requests to host in other cities, so to answer that call, the next two sessions will be taking place in Vancouver, B.C.

This chapter of the series will explore the theme of Ecosystems of Care. We’ll consider the relationships and practices within communities that sustain us through times of ecological and social change. Together, we will reflect on how care flows between people, land, water, more-than-human kin, and future generations. And we’ll ask ourselves what it means to nurture resilience in an era of climate uncertainty.

This session, on September 20, 2026, from 10:30am - 12:30 pm at the Creekside Community Recreation Centre, builds on our previous session from August 16th. We’ll gather again to create a community chapbook featuring writing generated from the first workshop (and any other work that attendees may want to bring). Through hands-on creativity (think cut-and-paste-collage, drawing, and more), we’ll shape a collaborative chapbook that captures our stories, concerns, hopes, and visions for thriving ecosystems of care. We will create one collaborative piece of work, which RAVEN staff will take and produce copies to share with our wider community.

You do not need to attend the writing workshop to participate in the chapbook creation, or vice versa.
