Sisters in Circle: Women's Reconnection Program

Sisters in Circle has been an opportunity for women to connect over a broad range of diverse backgrounds  and to reflect on the potential and opportunities we all have to empower and enrich our communities. 

From the Women’s Camp on Waiparous Creek last summer to the focus groups this Spring for women at three Calgary community organizations, Sisters in Circle women have and will come together to reflect on what their community means to them and how they can effectively create healthy change within their communities.  

Join us. Your place in the circle awaits.  For more information or to register, please email Sarah Lertzman, Project Coordinator at sllertzman@gmail.com

Awo Taan Aboriginal Women's Focus Group



Join us at Awo Taan Healing Lodge and Parent Link Centre as we discuss our role in both urban and rural Aboriginal communities. How do we raise our children with one sneaker and one moccasin? How do we find supportive and healthy community in downtown Calgary? How do we retain our cultural identity? How do we channel our community's resilience? How do we overcome the obstacles that keep us separate? What are the roads that bring us together? What tools and support do we need to visualize, and then realize strength within our communities?

This group is for Aboriginal women who are interested in making a change and in being a part of the leadership in their communities. We will meet and discuss and then feast.

The event takes place on Monday, March 8th from 10 am to 2 pm. Childcare and food are provided. Please pre-register at Awo Taan Healing Lodge and Parent Link Centre by calling (403) 531-1970, ext. 200. But for the Awo Taan logo, the art on this post is by Laurie Houseman-Whitehawk.
