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 excited to be holding events for the community starting this fall. Details below! Also check out our list of local wellness resources.

Local Community Events

Community Gatherings will start in October 2024!

Cedar Sisters Community Circles will take place once a month at Cedar Sisters HQ (Katrina's home) in Vedder.

Heart & Soul Gatherings will be held monthly at the Feral Bee Market in Cultus Lake Village.

Cedar Sisters Community Circles

These circles are for you if you are someone who is trying to find the ever elusive 'village' that is supposed to hold us as we move through the seasons of motherhood. I acknowledge my use of gendered language, and understand that not everyone identifies with the word 'mother'. If you are a member of the trans/nonbinary/AFAB/two-spirit community, you are welcome here.

If you're going through infertility, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, the postpartum time, or mother/parenthood, you need a community who will hold you up, hear your truths, and share their wisdom and support.

Circles will be held in my home in the Vedder neighbourhood of Chilliwack once a month. When we gather, I will lead the group in guided meditations and ceremony that will help you to connect with your inner wisdom, to feel seen and held in a supportive space, and to move through the season you are in with connection and love.

These gatherings will be offered by donation, with all money brought in being given to local groups helping women, 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:

October 20, 10AM-12PM: (5926 Vedder Rd)

Pregnancy & Infant Loss Circle

If you've experienced miscarriage, abortion, termination for medical reasons, stillbirth, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, or any other type of pregnancy or infant loss, this circle is for you. Your loss could have been recent, or it could have been years ago. It is never too late to seek healing. If you are ready, come and be held as you acknowledge all that you are carrying in your heart. Come even if you are not ready to acknowledge it all, as each person present will participate at their own comfort level. You will have the opportunity to share your story and be heard and held by your community, or to listen and be held by simply showing up. We are here.

Donations for this circle will go to Care for Women.

November 24, 10AM-12PM: (5926 Vedder Rd)

Coming Up For Air

This circle is for those who are in the thick of young parenthood. You who spend all day (and probably some of the night) giving: tending, nurturing, guiding, feeding, and comforting your babies, toddlers, and young children. Somewhere underneath all of the needs of those you are caring for, are the needs of YOU, the person you barely have time to check in with, let alone tend to.

Come and take a breath. In fact, in the two hours we'll be together, you'll have the opportunity to tune into your breath multiple times, allowing your body to enter a state of rest and healing, and giving space for you to fully show up for yourself.

We will slow down together, using gentle meditations and rituals to ground us into ourselves. You will have the opportunity to tune into the voice of your heart, the quiet whispering which is usually drowned out by so much noise in your daily life.

You will come away feeling reconnected to yourself, and held by your community.

Donations for this circle will go to Care for Women.

Heart & Soul Gatherings

These gatherings will be held at the Feral Bee Artisan Market in Cultus Lake Village, for the wider community of Chilliwack and area. They will be facilitated by Katrina of Cedar Sisters and Kianna Gabriel, a divinely gifted spiritual guide, in collaboration with the powerhouse of a woman, Michelle Lemieux, who has created the Feral Bee Market and its thriving community.

Upcoming Dates:
Thursdays 6-8PM
October 24
November 21
December 19

Heart and Soul Gatherings are exactly that: a gathering inward, to connect with your heart and your spirit, while also gathering outward with others who are on their spiritual journey. This is a time to sit and be with the deeper parts of yourself that are longing to be seen and heard.

With others in your community, you will have the opportunity to slow down, and to acknowledge all that you are going through at this time in your life, the heavy and the light. You will get to participate at your comfort level in grounding practices, guided meditations, and ceremony that will quiet your mind and allow your heart and your soul to show up and be heard.

As a Reiki Master, Katrina will hold space for the group, helping to move and clear the energy so that each participant will leave feeling lighter and more centred in themselves.

Cost: $40, or bring a friend for $20 each!
