Local Events & Resources

We are grateful to hold events on the beautiful lands of the Ts’elxwéyeqw tribes of the Stó:lō Coast Salish peoples. We thank our neighbours of the First Nations for tending to the land and its people, and we hope that you will join us in community, sharing our cultures and our hearts.

We are pleased to offer Community Circles

for pregnancy and parenthood,

and for those exploring their inner depths

and spirituality.

Local Community Events

Cedar Sisters Community Circles and Gatherings take place at Cedar Sisters HQ (Katrina's home) in the Vedder neighbourhood of Chilliwack, BC.

Occasionally, circles will be held outside, or in neighbouring communities.

Cedar Sisters Community Circles

These gatherings are open to all who seek a village. We were never meant to live in isolation, trying to heal our past hurts and sort out our life's purpose on our own, often while doing our best to parent the next generation. Whether you're on a parenting journey or a quest to connect with your spirit (or both!), you will find a community here.

If any of these strike a chord with you, you belong here.

-you seek a connection with yourself, with nature, with your ancestors and their traditions, or with something deeper than the everyday routines we fall into.

-you are longing for something you may not be able to name.

-your soul yearns for you to sing, to shout, to create, to kick up a fuss.

-you want to gather with others who are open to talking about not only love and light, but also pain and heartbreak.

-you had an idea of what pregnancy, birth, or parenthood would feel like, and the reality is taking you a while to adjust to.

-you wonder if you're the only one struggling.

-you may have no spiritual beliefs, you may follow a specific religion or belief system, or you may still be exploring or unsure.

-you feel the pain and uncertainty of our world, and don't know how to make a difference.

All are welcome! This is a place of connection, not of judgement or comparison.

As a Reiki Master and ceremonialist, Katrina will hold space for all who join, as we look inward and reach outward, building the connections we long for. Through ceremony, meditation, guided journalling, Reiki energy healing, somatic work, mindful breathwork, crafting, and more, you will have the pleasure of feeling truly alive and connected, both to yourself and to your wider community.

The Gatherings will be held monthly in Chilliwack, and occasionally in other cities. Donations will be accepted to support various local groups such as Care for Women and Wilma's Transition Society. A suggested donation is $20, but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. Each circle will have a maximum capacity of 10 people, to keep the groups intimate.

Upcoming Circles:

Spring Renewal Circle for Moms
April 13, 3PM-5PM
Location: LANGLEY (Brookswood)

Motherhood demands so much of us, and can also fill us with the satisfaction of living a purpose we never imagined. Sometimes we can lose touch with who we are and what we want in this life, when so much of our focus is on being a mom. We all give so much love and energy to our kids, and we often have very little left for ourselves.

This Circle will be a time to focus on YOU, to share and be witnessed by others who are doing their best, and to feel held by your community. We will set intentions for ourselves of how we want to step into this new season of our lives.

Our hostess is Kali, mom of an almost two year old, who knows the value of having a village, and wants to bring that to her neighbourhood.

Katrina (mom of two half-grown kids) will be the facilitator, leading the group in gentle guided meditations, grounding and mindful breathing practices, and a group ceremony to allow everyone present to release what's heavy for them, and to celebrate what lights them up. (Note, nobody is required to share anything beyond introducing themselves. You can participate at your own level of comfort.)

Tea and light snacks will be provided. Feel free to bring a snack to share!

There is no fee to attend, but donations will be collected for Care for Women, a non-profit group in the Fraser Valley who comes alongside women in the complex and challenging first stage of motherhood. They provide compassionate care and support through the early postpartum journey. (A suggested donation is $20.)
