Fertility can be a deeply personal and emotional process, often carrying uncertainty, loss of control, and experiences that are hard to put into words. This gathering offers a gentle space to pause, reconnect, and explore what's inside, through mindful creative practice, shared stories, and meaningful conversation.

Each participant will create a unique zen brushed calligraphy to take home for inspiration and resourcing on their fertility journey.

A Fundraiser for the Fertility Friends Foundation.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself on your fertility journey?

Together, we will make space for what's present, and gently explore what may be ready to soften, shift, or be unlocked within.

Each participant will create a unique zen brushed calligraphy that they can take home for inspiration and resourcing on their fertility journey.

Time: 2:00 – 5:00 PM
Location: The Larder Room at RGE RD
Cost: $35
All proceeds will be donated to Fertility Friends Foundation, a registered Canadian charity that provides educational resources and financial support for families going through fertility treatments.
