To navigate the grief that ripped through the community from the devastating act of violence at the tragedy of April 26 at the Lapu Lapu Day event, please join fellow BCGEU members for a virtual grief circle—or kwentuhan (Tagalog for ‘talking’) circle—so we can process what happened together.   

This is an opportunity to talk, process, reflect, grieve, heal and support one another. If you were impacted and affected by this tragedy, this space is for you and your family and friends.   

Rachel Plamondon-Assu C̓aqqalaɫɫilaʔoǧʷ, an Indigenous consultant and practitioner, will be there to guide participants and open the space. BCGEU executive vice-presidents Tristen Wybou and Masoud Aminzavvar will share a few words of welcome. Five self-identifying Filipino, Filipina, Filipinx licensed therapists will provide a healing space in various breakout rooms.  

We look forward to seeing you there. 

Maraming salamat.
