About this event
Endometriosis is estimated to affect 1 in 10 people, yet too many still spend years feeling dismissed, misunderstood, and waiting for a diagnosis.
Hosted by Ground to Grow, this community event is part of a Canadian screening series created to raise awareness, deepen understanding, and help more people feel less alone in the experience of endometriosis and pelvic pain.
The evening will include the 19-minute film, a thoughtful panel conversation, and space for learning, questions, and community connection.
Who this event is for
This event is open to anyone touched by endometriosis, whether through lived experience, someone they love, or their work in health care and community support. It’s also for anyone wanting to better understand pelvic pain, diagnosis, treatment, fertility, and the broader impact of this condition.
