interesting enough #2: roundup of therapeutic groups + community support

It's been a while since I shared the first edition of Interesting Enough, a newsletter where I share all of the things that are intriguing me lately.

Today's roundup is all of the incredible supportive therapeutic groups/workshops/communities that are on my radar. It seems like September is the time to really dive into community-building and I'm 👏🏼 here 👏🏼 for 👏🏼 it.

if you've been itching to get your art on:

👩🏻‍🎨 Anti-Hustle Art Studio Wednesdays 9:00 am - 10:00 am PST A weekly online gathering with Amelia Hutchison to make art as self-care and community care. I'll be guest hosting on September 20!

if you want to connect with fellow Vancouver-ites:

🧸 Soft Humans Care Circle Wednesdays, September 27 - October 5, 5:20 - 7:00 pm An online 5-week group with counsellor Emily focused on meaningful connection and soft, gentle care. This one is dedicated to Vancouver folks, so care can continue even when the group ends.

🧶 Wednesday Weaving Club Wednesdays 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm | Vancouver Can I suggest myself? I don't know, but I'm going to do it. We've been weaving in the studio for nearly a year now and still going strong!

if you need a place to build community online:
