About this Event
Zirikana Presents: Journeying Through Grief, Loss and Healing
Come join us for a special evening where we will explore the process of grief, loss, and healing through the personal stories of best selling author Katherine Krige, and Zirikana co-founder Clarisse Mukashumbusho Cechetto. This in-person gathering will take place at the beautiful Highland Country Club. Together, we will navigate the complexities of these emotions and learn ways to heal our mind, body and spirit.
Before and following our event speakers, you can enjoy shopping with a few curated London area vendors selling books, journals, skin care products, jewelry, and in keeping with our tradition, Christmas decor and gifts. Meet local energy healers, and purchase signed copies of Katherine Krige's two books: ‘Roughing it in Africa’, and grief memoir ‘Riding the Waves: A Memoir of Love, Loss, & Grief’.
Also enjoy hot appetizers, coffee, tea, sweet snacks and a cash bar. As always, there will be a silent auction, raffles, and African jewelry and colourful textiles for sale!
We look forward to seeing you there!
About Zirikana
Zirikana is the umbrella organization for the non-profits Living with Happiness and Rwandan Mothers Team.
As young girls, founders Aimee and Clarisse survived the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi but lost their parents and 4 siblings. The 1994 Genocide against Tutsi left the country ravaged, families destroyed, and many girls growing up without a mother figure. Through this tragedy, however, has grown hope, and revival of life and culture.
Zirikana works with women and children to support family harmony, resilience and sustainable financial security. Volunteers provide programs to promote mental health, parenting education, empowerment, entrepreneurship, and youth development.
This work is largely funded by generous people like you in London Ontario.
