SUMMARY:Brunch & Learn Panel: On Wholeness\, Wellness and Healing
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Brunch and Learn features a panel of books each focusing on ideas and themes related to wellness\, well-being\, recovery and healing. \nThis event will be catered by Edmonton’s own Chef Holly Holt (@shecooksyeg) \nFeaturing: Chyana Marie Sage\, Quill Christie-Peters and Kate J. Neville\nModerator: Naomi McIlwraith\nTickets: $30\, Available HERE \n\nSoft As Bones\, by Chyana Marie Sage \nA poetic memoir as intricately woven as a dreamcatcher about overcoming the pain of generational trauma with the power of traditional healing. \nIn candid\, incisive\, and delicate prose\, Chyana Marie Sage shares the pain of growing up with her father\, a crack dealer who went to prison for molesting her older sister. In revisiting her family’s history\, Chyana examines the legacy of generational abuse\, which began with her father’s father\, who was forcibly removed from his family by the residential schools and Sixties Scoop programs. Yet hers is also a story of hope\, as it was the traditions of her people that saved her life\, healing one small piece in the mosaic that makes up the dark past of colonialism shared by Indigenous people throughout Turtle Island. \n\nOn Wholeness\, by Quill Christie-Peters \nA brilliant exploration of the body as a site of settler colonial impact\, centring embodied wholeness as a pathway to our collective liberation. \nThrough reflections on childbirth\, parenting\, creative practice\, and expansive responsibility as pathways to wholeness\, Anishinaabe visual artist Quill Christie-Peters explores how reconnecting with the body can be an act of resistance and healing. She shows that wholeness—despite pain and displacement—is not just possible but essential for liberation\, not only for Indigenous people but for all of us. \nIn poetic and raw storytelling\, Quill shares her own experiences of gendered violence and her father’s survival of residential school\, revealing how colonialism disconnects us from ourselves. Yet\, through an Anishinaabe lens\, the body is more than just flesh—it extends to ancestors\, homelands\, spirit relations\, and animal kin. \nThis fierce and enlightening book reimagines the way we understand settler colonialism—through the body itself. On Wholeness takes us on a journey that begins before birth\, in a realm where ancestors and spirits swirl like smoke in the great beyond. \n\nGoing to Seed: Essay on Idleness\, Nature and Sustainable Work\, by Kate J. Neville \nAn abandoned place\, a disheveled person\, a shabby or deteriorating state: we describe such ruin colloquially as “going to seed.” But gardeners will protest: going to seed as idle? No\, plants are sending out compressed packets filled with the energy needed to sow new life. A pause from flowering gives a chance for the seeds to form. In a time of urgent environmental change\, of pressing social injustice\, and of ever-advancing technologies and global connections\, we often respond with acceleration—a speeding up and scaling up of our strategies to counter the damage and destruction around us. But what if we take the seeds as a starting point: what might we learn about work\, sustainability\, and relationships on this beleaguered planet if we slowed down\, stepped back\, and held off? \nGoing to Seed explores questions of idleness\, considering the labour both of humans and of the myriad other inhabitants of the world. Drawing on science\, literature\, poetry\, and personal observation\, these winding and sometimes playful essays pay attention to the exertions and activities of the other-than-human lives that are usually excluded from our built and settled spaces\, asking whose work and what kinds of work might be needed for a more just future for all. \n  \nKATE NEVILLE is an associate professor in Political Science and the School of the Environment at the University of Toronto\, where she studies global energy and resource politics\, and community resistance. When not in Toronto\, Kate can be found in a cabin in northern British Columbia\, on the territory of the Taku River Tlingit First Nation. \n\nQUILL CHRISTIE-PETERS is an Anishinaabe educator and self-taught visual artist from Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation located in Treaty 3 territory. She is the creator and director of the Indigenous Youth Residency Program\, an artist residency for Indigenous youth that engages land-based creative practices through Anishinaabe artistic methodologies. She holds a master’s degree in Indigenous governance on Anishinaabe art-making as a process of falling in love. She has spoken at Stanford University\, the University of Toronto\, and California College of the Arts\, and her written work can be found in GUTS magazine and Canadian Art. She is also a mother\, beadwork artist\, and traditional tattoo practitioner following the protocols of her community. All of her work can be found at @raunchykwe. \n\nCHYANA MARIE SAGE is a Cree\, Métis\, and Salish writer from Edmonton\, Alberta. She has an MFA in creative nonfiction from Columbia University and lives in New York City. Chyana loves to travel and be with nature. \nHOLLY HOLT (Chef/Caterer) is an award-winning Chef based in Edmonton\, Alberta. She has 15 years experience in the culinary arts and over 20 years of experience in hospitality. She is a proud graduate of NAIT’s Culinary Art’s program and loves to continue learning everyday. Holly is the In-House Chef for the Yellowhead Tribal Council and collaborates with EPL as an instructor in The Kitchen. She is also the owner of SheCooks\, which offers catering\, instructional and consulting services. Her expertise is in contemporary Indigenous cuisine\, nutrition and plant-forward cooking.

Holly Holt is a proud Syilx Okanagan woman (SnPink’tn or the Penticton Indian Band) and connects with her culture through food and art. When she is not in the kitchen\, she enjoys beading\, reading\, walking her dogs\, self care\, hiking\, camping\, yoga\, plants\, travelling\, art\, film and learning.  \n\nNAOMI McILWRAITH (Moderator) Naomi recently moved from the Indigenous Peoples Experience at Fort Edmonton Park to City Operations to work as the Indigenous Framework Operations Coordinator.

SUMMARY:Panel: Memoir Hour - What an amazing story!
DESCRIPTION:This year’s memoir hour panel features three stories of incredible journeys. \nFeaturing: Vinh Nguyen\, Dan Rubinstein\, and Sarah Boon\nModerator: Jessica Truong\nTickets: $5 (student/low income)\, $15 (regular)\nPurchase tickets HERE (Use promo code “LITFEST2025” to access student rate) \n\nMeltdown: The Making and Breaking of a Field Scientist by Sarah Boon \nIn Meltdown\, Sarah Boon tells us about field adventures in snow and ice\, the tough decision of choosing an academic career over that of a writer\, and the challenges she faces as a woman in science. Her story blends adventure and academia as she traverses John Evans Glacier on Ellesmere Island\, builds weather stations in northern British Columbia\, samples proglacial rivers\, and scares away grizzlies with helicopters. Along the way\, Boon finds inspiration in the stories of historic female explorers like Mary Schäffer Warren and Phyllis Munday\, celebrating the tenacity of women in the field. But her path isn’t without obstacles. In addition to the physical and psychological rigors of fieldwork\, Boon faces gender bias\, departmental politics\, and job insecurity in academia. Her journey is also marked by injury\, struggles with imposter syndrome\, and a serious mental health diagnosis. Meltdown is an honest and reflective narrative about the process of finding your identity\, the need for open conversations around mental health and science\, and one woman’s pursuit of balance between her career and personal life. \n\nThe Migrant Rain Falls in Reverse: A Memoir by Vinh Nguyen \nAn inventive memoir about one family’s escape from Vietnam and the father’s mysterious disappearance along the way. This book is an intricate exploration of a searching mind\, shedding light on the psyche of a grieving son\, as he chases certainty and seeks elusive resolution. With the Fall of Saigon on April 30\, 1975\, the U.S. war in Vietnam ended\, but the refugee crisis was only beginning. Among the millions of people who fled Vietnam by boat was Vinh Nguyen\, along with his mother and siblings\, and his father\, who left separately and then mysteriously vanished. \nDecades later\, Nguyen goes looking for answers. What he discovers is a sea of questions drifting above sunken truths. To find his father—and anchor himself in the present—Nguyen must piece together the debris of history with family stories that have been scattered across generations and continents\, kept for years in broken hearts and guarded silences. \nAs the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War approaches\, The Migrant Rain Falls in Reverse takes readers on a poignant tour of disappeared refugee camps\, abandoned family homes\, and reimagined lives. Part fractured reminiscence\, part invented history\, and part fictional fabulation\, Nguyen’s story is about learning to live with what’s already lost and the memories of what might have been. \nWater Borne: A 1\,200-Mile Paddleboarding Pilgrimage bu Dan Rubinstein \nIn June 2023\, writer Dan Rubinstein lashed camping gear to his stand-up paddleboard and embarked on an improbable solo voyage from Ottawa to Montreal\, New York City\, Toronto\, and back to Ottawa along the rivers\, lakes\, and canals of a landlocked region. Over 1\,200 miles and 10 weeks\, he explored the healing potential of “blue space” — the aquatic equivalent of green space — and sought out others drawn to their local waters. But the farther Rubinstein paddled\, the more he realized that being in\, on\, or around water does more than boost our mental and physical health and prompt stewardship toward the natural world. He discovered that blue spaces are also a way to connect with the kaleidoscopic cross-section of people he met and the diverse geographies and communities he passed through. \nWeaving together research\, interviews\, and an unmacho\, malodorous\, anticolonial adventure tale\, Water Borne shows us that we don’t need an epic journey to find solutions to so many modern challenges. Repair and renewal may be close at hand: just add water. \n  \nSARAH BOON is a freelance writer and editor. She has published essays\, book reviews\, author interviews\, and articles in a range of magazines and journals\, including Science\, Nature\, Longreads\, Flyway Journal\, Electric Literature\, and others. She trained as an environmental scientist and held a tenured position in physical geography before returning to her writing and editing roots. She is a member of the Creative Nonfiction Collective Society and the Federation of BC Writers\, and a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. She was a co-founder of the Canadian science blogging network Science Borealis. She blogs at https://watershednotes.ca/ and lives and works on southern Vancouver Island\, traditional unceded territory of the Quwut’sun people. \nVINH NGUYEN is a writer and educator whose work has appeared in Brick\, Literary Hub\, The Malahat Review\, PRISM international\, Grain\, Queen’s Quarterly\, The Criterion Collection’s Current\, and MUBI’s Notebook. He is a nonfiction editor at The New Quarterly\, where he curates an ongoing series on refugee\, migrant\, and diasporic writing. He is the author of the academic book Lived Refuge: Gratitude\, Resentment\, Resilience. His writing has been short-listed for a National Magazine Award and has received the John Charles Polanyi Prize in Literature. In 2022\, he was a Lambda Literary Fellow in Nonfiction for emerging LGBTQ writers. \nDAN RUBINSTEIN is a National Magazine Award winning writer and editor\, a contributor to publications such as Outside\, The Walrus and the Globe and Mail\, a former editor at Canadian Geographic\, and prior to moving to Ottawa he lived in Edmonton for a decade\, where he worker as an editor at several publications\, including Alberta Views\, Vue Weekly and unlimited magazine. His first book\, Born to Walk: The Transformative Power of a Pedestrian Act\, was a finalist at the Ottawa Book Awards and Kobo Emerging Writer Prize. He’s on Instagram at danrubnsteinsup and his website is www.waterborne.ca \nJESSICA TRUONG (she/her/hers)\, (Moderator) is a co-producer of the docuseries EATING EDMONTON\, which uses food\, the people who make it\, and experience as a second-generation immigrant to tell richer stories about Edmonton communities. Her experiences as a second generation Vietnamese Canadian can also be found online at @aspoonfordad and her writing featured in Hungryzine. She is the co-founder of Chúng Ta Cùng Nhau\, (We are Together) an initiative aimed at building a community that explores the generational identity as Canadian children of immigrants\, through shared stories\, experiences\, and events that connect the Vietnamese diaspora. \nThis event is presented in partnership with Chúng Ta Cùng Nhau
