About Lodgepole Communitas
Our communitas is made up of distinct pathways for active engagement and involvement, known as entry points. These entry points offer unique approaches to ceremony, interlaced with threads of justice, neighbourliness and healing. We strive to connect individuals within our community along a shared journey.
What started as a small seed of inspiration has blossomed into a vibrant grassroots organization, shaped by the collective contributions and passions of our dedicated community members.
People are the miracles that emerge from the ripped and worn pattern of your life and help you stitch it back together. You learn to see the pattern better then.
Our Purpose
Our mission is to honour and support the health, safety, and dignity of each person we meet and to strengthen and nurture a safe, inclusive community where each person has supports to reach their full potential and share their gifts.
