Fern is a white, disabled, neurodivergent, Non-binary settler of Italian and Ukranian descent that lives and works on the unceded lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh(Squamish) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations in so-called Burnaby, BC.
They facilitate community arts-based workshops geared towards those who are grieving, towards disabled/sick/neurodivergent/mad and LGBTQ2S+ folks. Fern is a grief-worker and holder, death doula, facilitator, expressive arts therapist, and artist.
They live with their three cats Burt, Etta, and Babydoll.
I believe Sync Canada will help weave together everything I’ve learned/am learning with community work through support in networking with other creative leaders, taking positive risks, and learning how to tackle self-promotion through creative connection
