SUMMARY:Spiritual Reclamation/Ceremony: Healing from Intergenerational Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on trauma theory\, epistemology\, and education for social justice\, Suzanne Methot‘s lecture describes how Indigenous spirituality moves us from woundedness to interrelatedness – and how that process becomes a healing story. The Cartesian emphasis on thinking leads us to an individual\, alone with their thoughts. Living a spiritual life requires us to look outward\, to the world and our place within it. Canada needs a healing story. \n  \nSuzanne Methot is a Nêhiyaw (Cree) writer\, editor\, educator and community worker born in Vancouver\, British Columbia and raised in Peace River\, Alberta. Her work has been published in anthologies including Steal My Rage and Let the Drums Be Your Heart. She has worked in the non-profit sector\, in the classroom\, and in advocacy and direct-service positions in Indigenous community-based agencies. She is co-author of the textbook Aboriginal Beliefs\, Values\, and Aspirations. Her most recent book is titled Legacy: Trauma\, Story\, and Indigenous Healing (ECW Press\, 2019).

SUMMARY:Librairie D+Q presents Anne Helen Petersen launching Can't Even
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the virtual launch of Anne Helen Petersen‘s new book Can’t Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation \nRSVP here: https://bit.ly/2GeLtiN \nWhere and How Can I purchase the books? Why our webstore of course… We ship Canada-wide!\nhttp://mtl.drawnandquarterly.com/webstore \nBy purchasing your book at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly you help support events like this one\, independent publishing and retailing\, our neighborhood\, and authors both local and from around the world who depend on independent bookstores for their livelihood. Your support is appreciated. \nCAN’T EVEN: HOW MILLENIALS BECAME THE BURNOUT GENERATION\nAn incendiary examination of burnout in millennials—the cultural shifts that got us here\, the pressures that sustain it\, and the need for drastic change. \nDo you feel like your life is an endless to-do list? Do you find yourself mindlessly scrolling through Instagram because you’re too exhausted to pick up a book? Are you mired in debt\, or feel like you work all the time\, or feel pressure to take whatever gives you joy and turn it into a monetizable hustle? Welcome to burnout culture. \nWhile burnout may seem like the default setting for the modern era\, in Can’t Even\, BuzzFeed culture writer and former academic Anne Helen Petersen argues that burnout is a definitional condition for the millennial generation\, born out of distrust in the institutions that have failed us\, the unrealistic expectations of the modern workplace\, and a sharp uptick in anxiety and hopelessness exacerbated by the constant pressure to “perform” our lives online. The genesis for the book is Petersen’s viral BuzzFeed article on the topic\, which has amassed over eight million reads since its publication in January 2019.\nCan’t Even goes beyond the original article\, as Petersen examines how millennials have arrived at this point of burnout (think: unchecked capitalism and changing labor laws) and examines the phenomenon through a variety of lenses—including how burnout affects the way we work\, parent\, and socialize—describing its resonance in alarming familiarity. Utilizing a combination of sociohistorical framework\, original interviews\, and detailed analysis\, Can’t Even offers a galvanizing\, intimate\, and ultimately redemptive look at the lives of this much-maligned generation\, and will be required reading for both millennials and the parents and employers trying to understand them.

SUMMARY:King of Canada - World Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Infinithéâtre is thrilled to welcome you home to the theatre with the world premiere of Paul Van Dyck’s tragicomic “King of Canada”! \nRecently included as part of our “Infinite Playwrights’ Chat Room” series\, “King of Canada” is a meta-theatrical political satire that puts William Lyon Mackenzie King\, Canada’s longest-serving prime minister\, under the microscope. Part séance\, part trial\, the man and his actions are put to judgement. And with him\, the actions of our nation. A look at the power of one\, lifted by the will of many. \nEllen David and Brian Dooley\, two celebrated stars of the Montreal theatre scene\, perform in this playful yet biting examination of legacy. Dooley incarnates King\, David brings many others to life; close to forty other characters including King’s mother\, FDR\, Churchill\, Hitler\, and three Irish terriers named Pat. \n“King of Canada” will run from October 20th to November 1st at KIN Gallery. Tickets are limited\, with a maximum audience size of 20 patrons per performance. \nTo purchase tickets\, visit: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/116771405417
