GIFT - Documentary viewing + Group Dialogue

You are warmly and personally invited to a very special event! To inspire us in our practice of generosity, we've arranged a private screening of a gorgeous new feature-length documentary film called GIFT.

Best of all, director Robin McKenna will be with us to answer questions after the film and to join the conversation about how it informs and affirms our own perspectives and practice of generosity. This dialogue circle will be facilitated by renown author and facilitator Michelle Holliday.

About the Film

“Inspired by Lewis Hyde’s beloved classic ‘The Gift: Creativity and the Artist in the Modern World’, GIFT is a tribute to something that can’t be measured or counted, bought or sold. An intimate exploration of real-life gift economies, it’s a reflection on the creative process, the reasons we labor in service of our gifts, and a celebration of the imagination. Watch the trailer here. And visit the film’s website here.

When: Sunday September 16 from 3pm to 6pm

Where: Le Couvent has generously made their theatre room and dining room available to us, for the viewing and the potluck-meal-conversation after the film. The retreat center is located in 2043 Chemin de la Gare, Val-Morin, QC J0T 2R0. Please let us know if you’d like help arranging carpooling.

How: POTLUCK and daana-style (anonymous) contributions! Proceeds going to the film’s director Robin McKenna.

RSVP: Please let us know you’re coming by registering here through this page.

We really hope you can join us for an incredibly inspiring film and what will surely be a deeply meaningful conversation to follow. 

Warm wishes,

Michelle & Bhaskar
