 Circle of Care comes full circle...from October 2023 to September 2024, KBC organized Circle of Care, a monthly grief support group for the 2SLGBTQIA+ BIPOC community. We facilitated art activities that encouraged self-awareness through creative expression. Participants explored their personal experiences with grief, and the impact of global events on our collective mental health. We shared a community meal each month.
The photo above features our "Lanterns of Light" - made of recycled glass jars and pressed flowers - to explore how to create light for ourselves and others during times of personal and global suffering. We are grateful to all the Circle of Care participants for their support over the past year and thank our venue sponsor, The 519 for their support.
 Beginning in October 2023, KBC has partnered with The 519 to program Circle of Care, a monthly grief support group for the 2SLGBTQIA+ BIPOC community. KBC facilitates art activities that encourage self-awareness through creative expression, including visual art, music and embodied movement. Participants explore their personal experiences with grief and the impact of global events on our collective mental health. This is an ongoing group.
 In May 2023, Kwentong Bayan Collective participated in a Careworkers Retreat in Vancouver, B.C. organized by Caregiver Connections Education and Support Organization (CCESO) and the Vancouver Committee for Domestic Workers and Caregivers Rights (CDWCR).
Our newest collective member, Melanya Liwanag Aguila joined us and facilitated embodied movement-based activities that highlighted the value of care work. While care workers recognized the wins of the campaign for Status for All, over four decades, they are determined to strengthen and sustain their commitment to fight for the rights of all migrant workers.
