Tending Our Hearts workshop!

Out on Campus Assistant

Let’s make, remember, and heal, heart by heart, together, through an art workshop.

Student Union Building

Tuesday, November 18, 5pm to 7pmOOC Lounge, SUB 2230Our hearts hold so much: magic, feelings, grief, dreams, hope, joy, longing, and love in all its forms. Sometimes we need to hold our hearts gently in our hands, to remember the care, tenderness, and love they deserve.In a collaboration with the <a href="https://www.sfuqueercollective.ca/" title="https://www.sfuqueercollective.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SFU Queer Collective</a>, and in the context of TDOR, we want to invite you to an intimate workshop to tend our hearts. In a caring, creative circle, each participant will handcraft their own symbolic heart using a variety of art materials, filling it with petals, stones, herbs, wishes, and intentions. Through this simple act, we honor what our hearts carry and revive, together, the living heartbeat of our community.Let’s come together to give form to the invisible, to recreate our hearts as vessels of protection, tenderness, and love, and to reaffirm all that we hold inside.All materials will be provided, though you’re warmly encouraged to bring a small personal element to include in your heart, something meaningful, like a piece of wood for grounding, the name of someone dear, a poem, or any symbol of what you wish to carry close.Come as you are. Let’s make, remember, and heal, heart by heart, together.Facilitator:Paola Quirós-Cruz is the Event Lead at the SFU Queer Collective.
