DocuTalk: The Weight We Carry

Join us as we watch a short documentary and then connect via Zoom to discuss it! We will be watching documentaries that touch on social, cultural, political, and global issues. Then, we’ll have an open discussion and exchange of ideas over the film’s topic.

The Weight We Carry
Thursday, April 29th | 2:00pm-4:00pm

You'd think a group of formerly homeless people wouldn't be too keen to spend a lengthy trip outdoors. But a multi-day hike through Vancouver Island's coastal forest was a very different experience for them: They were on a journey of personal growth and discovery.  In 2018, Anawim House, a support home in Victoria for those in poverty, partnered with mountain guide Ken Wylie and the Mountains for Growth program, a company that leads people on outdoor adventures, where they can connect with peers, gain confidence, and learn about themselves.

 

This meeting will be held on Zoom. You can watch the film with the group at 2:00pm, or watch on your own and join us at 3:00pm for a great discussion!

What you’ll need to attend: a computer with microphone (or headphones) and webcam, or your smartphone/tablet.

Registration required. Register online or call 604-987-4471, ext. 8175. Zoom link will be sent to those registered in advance of the meeting date.
