💛 You are not alone. 💛

The Guysborough & Area Endometriosis Support Group is a welcoming space for those living with endometriosis, those who suspect they may have it, and anyone wanting to better understand the realities of this disease and how to support those affected by it.

Join us on Saturday, June 20 from 1PM–3PM downstairs (ground floor) at the Cast Away Cafe on the Guysborough waterfront for an afternoon of conversation, connection, and community support. We’ll be sharing experiences, resources, and navigating the realities of endometriosis together in a relaxed and supportive environment.

We’ll also have some calming and relaxing art activities available to enjoy while we chat, helping create a comfortable and low-pressure space for connection and self-expression.

The group is free to attend. No registration necessary. Just come as you are! ❤️

Hosted by Healing with Endo 902 in partnership with the Antigonish Women's Resource Centre & Sexual Assault Services Association.

📍 Downstairs (Ground Floor) at the Cast Away Cafe (Jost Building)
82 Main Street, Guysborough Waterfront

Not 100% endometriosis related, but definitely something open to those who have it. Through my business Good Karma Handmade Goods & Art I’ll be hosting Wednesday Wellness Days at the Cast Away . Part of this includes a project called the Wellness Wall which will be sponsored by ArtWorks East. This is giving community members and visitors a chance to reflect, create and connect with one another around themes of wellness and community. The finished pieces will be used to create a quilt like collage of wellness to be displayed at the cafe. For more information see this post and please share to help me spread the word. 🎨❤️

This past Friday I was given amazing opportunity to speak at the NSNDP convention in Halifax as an endometriosis patient, advocate, and support group organizer living in rural Nova Scotia.

In my speech, I spoke about endometriosis and women’s health through the lens of rural healthcare barriers, community care, mutual aid, cultural attitudes surrounding chronic illness, and the importance of building systems rooted in compassion and collective responsibility.

I also spoke about the importance of cultural change alongside policy and systemic change, because if we fail to address the culture surrounding women’s pain and chronic illness at the same time, we risk repeating many of the same failures over and over again.

Growing up in a rural area taught me how crucial we are to each others survival and well-being . My own story is a testament of that. I didn’t get where I was today without the support of my family, my community of Giant’s Lake and the neighbouring communities, as well as from organizations and businesses like the Cast Away Cafe , ArtWorks East, and the Antigonish Women's Resource Centre & Sexual Assault Services Association

It truly takes a village.

I hope conversations like these continue helping break down stigma surrounding women’s health and chronic illness, while encouraging more spaces for support, education, and community care to grow throughout the province.

And after being in the same room with some pretty amazing and inspiring leaders, I can confidently say I have hope for the future. Not only is change coming, but there are people already doing the work to help build a more compassionate and caring future for us all.

May we use this hope as a guiding light moving forward. 💛
