The Peace & Spirit Roundtable

Do you ever think about the impact of colonization on you and on indigenous populations? If so, let's talk!

Now that you’ve watched If an Owl Calls Your Name—a documentary that brings together Indigenous elders, healers, and activists from the Esk’etemc, Gitxsan, and Wet’suwet’en territories to reflect on colonization, residential schools, and intergenerational trauma—let’s sit together in conversation. This film does more than document history; it invites us to reconnect to ancestral wisdom, the land, and ceremony to heal and find the way back to a connected life.

As we discuss, the focus isn’t on “right” answers or external critique, but on how the themes of the film intersect with our own understanding of colonization, identity, and relational healing. The stories shared aren’t isolated cultural artifacts—they are lived realities shaped by centuries of forced assimilation and resilience.

Join us for a deep and meaningful conversation about the beloved 1984 fantasy film
The NeverEnding Story — a tale of grief, imagination, courage, and the power of belief.

Together we’ll explore:

• The symbolism of Fantasia and “The Nothing”
• Shadow, despair, and the battle within
• The Childlike Empress and the power of naming
• Why stories need us as much as we need them
• What this film reveals about trauma, creativity, and becoming

Whether you grew up with Atreyu and Falkor, or you’ve never seen the movie before, this conversation will go beyond nostalgia into myth, psychology, and the hero’s journey.

Come ready to reflect, share, and re-enter Fantasia together.
Because the story never really ends…
It continues in us.

What if time isn't linear? What if the visions you're having aren't symptoms — or what if they are, and it doesn't matter?
These are just a few of the questions that Undone, the animated series on Amazon Prime, refuses to let go of.
Let's meet and talk about it.

The show is a strange, beautiful puzzle — part family mystery, part meditation on grief and loss, part exploration of indigenous Mexican spiritual traditions, and part unflinching look at mental illness and how we define reality itself. It doesn't give easy answers. That's exactly why it's worth talking about.

Come ready to question what you think you know — about the mind, about time, about the stories we inherit from the people we've lost.
