SUMMARY:Alistair Ogden's Here For You | Live Stand Up Comedy in Waterloo
DESCRIPTION:Hello! It’s me Alistair writing this. Hope you can make it to my show! It’ll be about 80 minutes of comedy\, starting with one or two opening acts (depending on which of my favourite locals are available) and then about an hour of my set\, including some classic jokes (that you may have seen of me online) and then a bunch of new never-before-posted stories\, bits\, riffs\, crowdwork\, etc. If you’ve never been to the venue\, it’s a fun intimate spot with great food and drinks. Not huge though\, so get your tickets soon before they’re gone! Also\, I’m keeping prices relatively low because I know times are tough\, so hopefully cost isn’t an issue. That being said\, if need be\, just send me a DM on Instagram saying “Waterloo discount please” and I’ll happily send you a discount code. Okay\, I think that’s everything. See you there!

SUMMARY:BREATHWORK CIRCLE
DESCRIPTION:Breathwork Conscious Connected Breathing is a form of intentional breathing that allows the individual to shift their physiological state. In this state you may experience feelings of bliss\, increased self-awareness\, valuable insight\, emotional release\, and a deep sense of connection with the world and others in it. Journaling As it is common for insight and clarity to come during conscious breathwork\, we will integrate the experience by journaling any thoughts\, feelings\, emotions\, visions or downloads experienced during the session. Sharing Sharing with the group is encouraged (but not required) and assists with integrating the experience. The focus of this integration will be to allow for honest and vulnerable connection in a safe environment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Rosalie Favell | Belonging (1982 - 2024)
DESCRIPTION:KWAG invites you to the opening reception for Rosalie Favell’s ‘Belonging (1982 – 2024)’. ‘Belonging’ is the first retrospective of renowned Red River Métis artist Rosalie Favell\, showcasing a powerful curated selection of her lens-based works from 1982 to 2024. This exhibition celebrates Favell’s groundbreaking photographic practice—from seminal series like Living Evidence and Plain(s) Warrior Artist to her expansive archive Facing the Camera—which invites us to bear witness and explore the complex themes of identity\, empowerment\, same-sex desire\, community and the nuanced search for belonging through a lens that is both deeply personal and subtly subversive.
