SUMMARY:From Swipe to Script: Mine your dating disasters for literary manna (women-only)
DESCRIPTION:If you’re exhausted by endless text threads\, unavailable people\, ghosts (why is that even a related word?!)\, and the sheer absurdity of modern “dating”\, it is time to take your power back! \nYou don’t need another dating app—you need a room full of shrewd women\, a notebook\, and a place to laugh your silly head off. \nJoin us at this interactive\, two-hour Intro for a short meditation\, playful improv activity\, curated writing prompt\, writing time and optional share. \nUsing your chosen literary genre and the playful spontaneity of improv\, we will transform bad dates\, heartbreak\, and romantic boundary-crossing into powerful creative expression.

The stage and page will be our oysters as we embrace our wild (and perhaps jaded) selves! \nNo experience necessary. \nLed by professional dater — er poet\, dating-playwright (A Coveted Wife of East Van\, Vancouver Fringe)\, journalist and 30-year writing-workshop-facilitation veteran Marn Norwich\, this intimate\, transformative 4-week circle is a darkly funny\, deeply cathartic space to process romantic letdowns and reclaim your worth. \nLearn how to hurdle blocks\, tap into your resilience\, and rewrite your personal narrative with complete creative authority! \nThis is a free intro to the women’s trauma-informed\, four-week masterclass running Tuesdays\, October 22 – November 10\, 2026\, 6:30 – 8:30 pm ($400 + GST).

SUMMARY:Gala to Change the Cancer Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Every two minutes\, someone in Canada receives a cancer diagnosis. While conventional medicine fights the disease\, patients frequently feel like a number in a fragmented system. Many turn to evidence-based integrative oncology to survive brutal treatment side effects\, but high costs force vulnerable families to choose between financial ruin or suffering in silence. \nThe Parmar Foundation is stepping into this divide to change the conversation. \nJoin us on Saturday\, October 3rd\, 2026\, at the Morgan Creek Golf Course in South Surrey for an elegant evening of community\, purpose\, and hope. Founded by integrative oncology pioneers Dr. Gurdev and Karen Parmar\, the foundation bridges the medical gap. \nAll proceeds directly fund: \nThe Patient Access Program: Fully subsidizing supportive\, whole-person cancer care for low-income BC families. \nClinical Research: Funding academic trials to prove how conventional and naturopathic systems can safely work together. \nEnjoy an exceptional dinner and live charity auctions. Help us ensure whole-person survival is a transparent right for everyone—not a luxury or a secret.

SUMMARY:High Tide | Cancer Season: Creative Workshop + Sound Bath
DESCRIPTION:A creative workshop and sound bath hosted by Low Tide / High Tide — a pop-up series by artist Mega McGrath\, designed to help you reconnect with your creative vision\, clear blocks\, and sync with the natural cycles that shape the world around us. Featuring certified sound practitioner and channeler\, May Globus. \nAn evening of meditation\, sound healing\, and creative workshopping \nWe use astrology as a mythological framework (drawing on archetypes for theme and timing) while grounding the experience in psychology\, meditation\, and somatic nervous system work. The goal is to activate the parasympathetic state where clarity can emerge and change becomes possible. \nWe’ll work with the energy of the Full Moon in Capricorn (taking place just 3 days after High Tide!) to sync with the earth’s natural rhythm and help you release what’s no longer working; identify old habits\, creative blocks\, and outdated structures. \nYou’ll also receive a printout of Mega’s Three Month Worry Cleanse—a simple 90-day tool to help shift your relationship with time\, discipline\, and self-worth. We close the evening with a 20-minute sound bath to help the work settle into the body. Using crystal bowls and healing frequencies\, the sound helps integrate your insights and restore balance. \nWho is this for? Creatives\, entrepreneurs\, artists\, aspiring artists\, and those seeking a deeper connection with themselves\, their work\, and the world around them.
