WHAT TO EXPECT

At this women's circle meets open mic event, each participant will have the floor for 10 minutes to share a captivating travel story—whether it’s an unforgettable adventure, a funny mishap, or a heartwarming encounter. As stories unfold, listeners will channel their creativity into doodling and drawing inspired by the narrative. These personalized artworks will be crafted with care and will serve as heartfelt moments for the storytellers to cherish.

Our evening is designed to blend meaningful connection with creative fun. You’ll not only hear about fascinating travel tales, but also engage in a collective artistic process that celebrates each story. This event provides a relaxed and supportive space to meet new people, share your own experiences, and leave with a set of unique, hand-drawn gifts that capture the essence of your story.

Come prepared to share, listen, and create in a setting that fosters genuine connections and celebrates the joy of storytelling through art. We look forward to seeing you there!

Meet Your Facilitator

Jungle Flower (she/her) is a Tkaronto based poet, speaker, trauma-informed writing guide and sound bath facilitator.

After escaping a psychologically abusive relationship, she founded Reclaim Your Voice in 2012, a BIPOC survivor-led organization that creates safe spaces where people who have experienced abuse and sexual violence can gently work through their trauma. In 2021, Reclaim Your Voice received the Mayor’s Community Safety Award from the so-called City of Toronto.

Jungle Flower found healing through her work in the survivor community. Today she works with schools across the country, hosting survivor-centred workshops and sharing her sacred gifts as a medicine offering for those who need it.
