Mirrors of Hope
Program for Support Groups

Mirrors of Hope
Who it serves:
Clergy, care and service providers to and advocates for residents of the DTES.
What it does:
Holds open reflection groups to support and rejuvenate those present. Spirituality will be explored as a means of renewal and commitment to the value of each individuals incredible worth, and as a resource for hope and reconnection to each other, our community and the earth. We are intentionally a non-judgemental place, open to people of any and all spiritual perspectives. Possible topics for reflection include: grief, loss, stress, humour, beauty, art, spiritual practices, peace and others.
Mission:
An intentional process of action-reflection-action is a powerful, renewable change vehicle. We come together to reflect, to listen and tell stories of the great joys and unbearable tragedies we experience working in the DTES. Together we hold mirrors of hope to each other. We laugh and cry together. We validate and support each other and re-establish a sense of belonging to the community of the DTES. In speaking our stories, our experiences become more real. We seek the empowerment that comes from naming our reality together as people committed to compassionate action.
