About Our Hub
The West Hub of Righting Relations is grounded in the notion of “hearts wide open” and the teachings of the strawberry plant as shared by members of our Grandmothers Council. We are the power of the Circle: a gentle, never-ending connection to past and into future power that slowly reaches for new partners, new works, and new members.

“What sticks out is that I always believed that groups could work like this, I had tastes of it, but this is such a diverse group and seeing the dynamics and seeing it work is exciting. I’m part of it - finding a group like this is so exciting.”
Su Deranger, West Hub Member
Our Hub’s History
The Western Hub was launched in 2016 with a gathering in Wabamun Lake, AB, and grew through intentional interactions with the earth/land, plants, animals, and each other. At this first gathering, three Circles were formed in Edmonton, Regina, and Winnipeg. Since then, many outings and circles were created with good-hearted people coming together to discuss issues and share challenges, strength, art, and celebrations of their communities and their lives.
By respecting and valuing diverse discussions and being open to dissention, we continue to grow and learn. These processes of decolonization, the priority of relationship-building, and the organic nature of spirit-led developments fuel a multitude of beautiful projects.
