Surviving Together: The Importance of Maintaining Community Care with Author Patty Krawec

When
9 Jul 2026
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Location
Online via Zoom

Join us for a webinar with Anishinaabe-Ukrainian author and speaker Patty Krawec as she explores what it means to maintain community care in difficult times.

Drawing on an Anishinaabe story of animals coming together to save the world from eternal winter, Patty will weave Indigenous storytelling with the decolonial perspectives she brings to her writing and speaking work.

Author of Becoming Kin and Bad Indians Book Club, Patty brings a grounded, community-rooted lens to the question of how we survive and care for one another when times are hard.

Here's a sneak peek at what you can expect Patty to address:

Why community care is a powerful counterweight to "self-care" culture
What Indigenous storytelling and traditions can teach us about surviving difficult times together
Practical ways to show up for your community (and ways to let your community show up for you)
Staying grounded in wellness when the wider world feels overwhelming

This webinar will run from 2:00 to 3:00 pm EST, with time set aside for questions before closing.

We hope to see you there!
