When a loved one dies, we experience grief. It is not something we choose. Yet it is a part of life. It can be confusing, painful, full of conflicting emotions, and lonely.

We offer a safe, confidential space where grief can be processed, experiences shared, community fostered, and isolation reduced.

When:   Monday evenings for 6 sessions (April 28, May 5, May 12,  May 26,  June 2 and June 9)

Time:     7:00 pm to 8:30 pm

Where:  Weird Church Cumberland

Who: Anyone experiencing grief due to the loss of a loved one. This confidential group will be limited to 10 participants - please register below.

What: Grief brings up an array of emotions that can be overwhelming, confusing, uncomfortable and unexpected.  Together we will hold space for the unruly beast we call grief, understanding one another in ways that only other grieving folks can.

How: Each week we will follow the same basic structure

Check In

Grounding Exercise

Short Teaching: each week a new facet of grief will be explored, making space and honouring the experience of each individual, helping folks better understand their grief journey.

Registration:

Sunday service at 4pm, potluck at 5:30pm: bring a dish to share or just bring yourself and your appetite.

When we gather around the table, eat, and share stories, we get to know each other in real and meaningful ways. It is in this kind of community that we can be known and loved and where lives are transformed in love.

When we nurture the earth that nurtures us, we lean in the direction of reciprocity and abundance through bonds of love. In this time of division and fear, let’s choose community and grounding, together.

May 4: Suzuki or Sacred Scripture?

May 11: Save it or Savour it?

May 18: Intersections of Spirituality and Farming: Special Guest Arzeena Hamir

May 25: Listening to the Plants with Special Guest Juliana Bedoya

Weekly services: Sundays at 4 pm (they can be accessed online HERE - Zoom ID 810 1877 0234).

Our services are like church…but weird. Following monthly themes, we come together for about an hour for prayer, music, readings, reflection, and a time of discussion. There are no requirements or barriers to participating in Weird Church and all are truly welcome regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status etc.

Children and Youth are celebrated and welcomed (with all the wiggles and noise and love they bring along with them) - programming will be available for those who would prefer thematic learning targeted toward a younger age range (roughly 6-12 but all are welcome).

Gallery Viewing: Saturdays 2-5pm

This April, nine galleries across the Comox Valley are coming together to celebrate the beauty and power of water through Waterways: The Comox Valley Gallery Hop. Each gallery will present a unique water-themed exhibition, offering visitors an opportunity to experience a diverse range of artistic interpretations.

The goal of Waterways is to encourage both locals and visitors to explore the incredible art spaces in the Comox Valley. Many residents have never visited these galleries or have only been to one or two. This event is a chance to discover the unique character of each gallery, connect with local artists, and find original artwork—often at very affordable prices. All galleries are offering free admission, so visitors can enjoy the diverse exhibitions without any cost. It's the perfect opportunity to explore the vibrant local art scene!

Participating galleries include Artful: The Gallery, ARTWRX Studio + Gallery, Comox Valley Art Gallery, I-Hos Gallery, Pearl Ellis Gallery, Studio 211, The Gallery @ Weird Church, The Worthy Room, and YQQ + CVA Arts and Culture. Visitors are encouraged to explore them all, enjoying a variety of art forms and perspectives from talented local artists.

To make the experience even more engaging, guests can collect stamps on a Waterways stamp card as they visit each gallery. Once their tour is complete, they can fill out their information and drop the card off at any participating gallery to be entered to win a wide array of incredible art prizes generously donated by local artists—the more galleries they visit, the more chances they have to win!

Exhibitions will run throughout April, with individual galleries hosting their own opening receptions and events. For details on each gallery’s show, hours, and reception dates, visit pearlellisgallery.ca/waterways.

Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate local art and the natural beauty of water—mark your calendar and start planning your gallery hop!
