We are now closed.

After 8 wonderful years, we have decided to close up operations. This decision was made as we reflected on a city and region that offers more variety of mental health resources and programs than in 2018.  More community events and festivals now host zones and ongoing activities that support mental health in their operations. 

While no one organization matches what we've done, or how we did it, the future asks us to evolve accordingly. For us to support the wellbeing of people today, we need to work differently. We will publish a wrap-up newsletter later in the month that will highlight the incredible resources and a few notes on our impact resulting from our time together.

 

The website and linked resources will be available until January 2027. Thank you for your business, your support, and your incredible participation in wellbeing work. You've healed us.

"We enjoyed having you participate in our Lit Lunch program. Your insights helped our writers think more deeply about how we can weave character archetypes and storytelling with mental health and the healing process."

Through arts and culture projects, we support healthy brain development and promote mental health literacy. We innovate the mental health conversation with evidence-backed processes developed through our research, blend it with art, and then weave it into a narrative for fun and playful learning.

In the spirit of reconciliation and truth, we are grateful to ground our work and learning in Moh’kinsstis (Calgary). We acknowledge the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta, Canada as home of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, and the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, Districts 5 & 6. Thank you for your ongoing stewardship of this land, for helping us to witness the trauma of your experience, and for sharing the wisdom of the Medicine Wheel with us.
