Events at the peace museum

Please join us to plant garlic in the Peace Gardens and learn the Algonquin teachings around Sweet Grass. 

We will be planting and braiding together ♥️

Jewel Rowat, an Algonquin leader and keeper of the Healing Lodge, will teach us the importance of sweet grass and how to braid. Everyone will leave with braided sweet grass. And a little garlic too!

We will start with garlic planting around 10:00, then move indoors for teachings. Food will be provided. Feel free to bring something to share if you are inspired!

7pm to 8pm, every Wednesday

Audiobook club. 

Each week we’ll spend 5 minutes recapping prior sessions, listen to about 20 minutes of the audiobook, then spend 40 minutes discussing it. Sessions are one hour. No book is required. You’re welcome to speak, listen, or join at any point, even if you miss some weeks.

We’re living in a time of growing division. It’s becoming harder to talk openly, stay connected, or understand people with different views. This isn’t happening by accident. This group exists to start a conversation about why this is happening and what we can do about it. Words like totalitarianism, fascism, and authoritarianism are used a lot, often without much historical understanding. This group will focus on totalitarianism, using Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism to look at tactics used in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia—and how similar tactics show up today. Talking and debating ideas is essential to democracy. We hope you’ll join us. 

Organized by Susanne Hedley and Bill Kilpatrick.
