Event Description

Join Pass the Sage, in collaboration with OASW Ottawa & Area Local Engagement Network, for an evening of Indigenous storytelling, author readings, reflection and community.

Inspired by Pass the Sage: Stories from the Fire, Teachings from the Smoke, this gathering is connected to OASW Ottawa & Area’s Reading Toward Accountability book club series, which creates space for social workers, students and community members to engage with Indigenous voices, lived experience and questions of reconciliation, responsibility and practice.

Contributing authors will share readings and the stories behind their writing, followed by a panel conversation and community Q&A exploring storytelling, identity, healing, connection and lived experience.

Guests can participate in person or virtually, connect with authors and community, and share in an evening centred on listening, learning and relationship-building.

Food and soft beverages will be provided for in-person attendees!
