Katie & Kristy: Our spiritual, artistic, and ancestral ​practices share commonalities and we appreciate the ​camaraderie we gain from being like-minded ​individuals in a small, remote area.

Since 2017, we have undertaken a number of cultural events ​as a means to add something new to the community—​something that wasn’t present when we were growing ​up in the Flin Flon area. Our goal is to widen the ​perspective of people living here and to offer a deeper ​sense of belonging. In 2018 and 2019, we offered a ​wilderness retreat called Soul Sisters Summer Camp ​that focused on plant medicine, ceremony, ​meditation, and movement. In 2020, we founded a ​cooperative studio space that was entirely drop-in and ​by donation. In 2020 and again in 2023, we created an ​art event titled Art in the Wild, which has featured ​theatre, music, opera, visual art and performance art. A ​big motivator for both of us is that we grew up in this ​area and we both have professional practices that ​scarcely have opportunity for presentation here.
