Summer:

- Art and flow” a Summer fundraising event I curated for @motionballwpg for the Special Olympics!

- Reached out and brought on 25+ Vendors and artists for an event held at Cloakroom Wellness in Winnipeg, MB.

- Very successful Event that raised over $50 and over 70 attendees!

- You can see photos from the event here: https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1si95nE03uajLz6FnYA6hl2BjvoKl0ZP3

- There is an African proverb we came across prior to this event, it became clear as mud on event day, thought we'd share it with you - "If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

- I chose Art, because I am an artist, and Flow because yoga. Art and Flow go hand in hand, there are many types of artists, and I brought them all together as one. To flow like the paint or in yoga, is to be together and joined as one.

Fall:

- The event was so successful I did a second event, a little bit smaller and into the fall, but it was just myself and still had prizes for every attendee. Was just as special in my heart.
