Just over a week ago I attended my second Nuit Blanche here in Toronto (described as a “free all-night contemporary art event”).  This second attendance allowed for my first time participation in the event.

A number of months ago the idea struck me and its profound resonance left me unquestioning about the work I needed to do: to take the healing, community-building practice of DOWH to women who do not have access to such an embodied practice but who could stand to most benefit from it. The “what” was obvious. The “how”? Not so much. A social worker by training, I have experience in community outreach, counselling, group facilitation, project development, monitoring and evaluation, and fund development. This is my first endeavour of such scope, however, and I have consistently found myself at a loss as to what the next right steps are for this passion project.
