About Us
Creating Connection is a network of more than twenty inclusive communities across Canada committed to sharing authentic conversation and promoting meaningful activities.
Our communities engage in a variety of activities, including: coffee & conversation, adult colouring, drum circles, mindfulness meditation, yoga, lifelong learning & lectures, and knitting circles.
All are welcome regardless of background. Participants include individuals from diverse religious traditions, many who consider themselves “spiritual but not religious,” as well as those who identify as agnostic or atheist.
We are LGBTQ+ affirming.

Individuals are also free to opt out of any activities and make use of the beautiful surrounding environment for their own personal rest, meditation and reflection.
