How do we REALLY walk each other home?

  • Whidbey Island Center for the Arts PO Box 52 | 565 Camano Avenue Langley, WA 98260 (map)

The second of a two part series exploring issues of aging in our community and what our community response to those issues can be.

Aging is not for the faint hearted. Good thing we've had a lifetime to learn not only coping but resilience skills. This community conversation will give you an opportunity to share both the challenges and the gifts of this time of life with others who are living it. We hope to build a community of people who can support each other during this third act of life.

Come at 9:30am for coffee and a resource fair in the lobby for Healing Circles, Island Senior Services, and South Whidbey at Home before and after the event.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
