Book of Moments 2022
Over 2022, Soloss engaged with frontline workers in Edmonton’s inner-city. We wanted to learn how Soloss might offer care to a group of people facing vicarious trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue. What emerged? So many beautiful moments! We invite you to encounter some of these moments in the form of short stories & vignettes. We see each offering as a gift – we hope you do too!
Co-creating the future of Soloss
Together with Professor Tim Barlott from the University of Alberta, we co-created four reunion workshops with Soloss’ first cohorts of Losstenders, Sharers and Circle of Support members to explore the essence of Soloss and how to grow it in anti-capitalist, non-institutional ways. Learn more about the workshops, and check out our zine!
Soloss In Encampments
Over the past two years, we’ve developed & tested Soloss with folks living in supported housing, frontline workers, and more. Now, Soloss is returning to one of the places where the idea first emerged: encampments.
