“The International Women’s Day is a Reflection not a Celebration”

We want to create awareness and give everyone a chance to reflect on those women that were murdered and the ones that are still missing.

The empty shoes were once filled by women and children that filled our lives with love, happiness, and joy. In their absence, we need to reflect on their lives.

Take a moment to join us in reflection. We will be at Parkland Mall on March 8th, 2017 (International Women’s Day) from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. We will have our display in the old Sport Check.

Hope to see you there!

On October 22nd and 23rd, we put together a photo & social media campaign in order to create awareness and raise money to go towards the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Center.

During that weekend, we had a photo shoot at the donated space of The White Room Gallery beside Sunworks downtown Red Deer, with published guest photographer Ashlee Krutzfeldt, owner and operator of AJKPhotography. Along with your professionally taken photo, we will also had Jesse Marriott and the staff of Utopia Hair and Lash Studio on site for glam touch ups before getting your portrait.

Requirements

– Must have worn a plain white t-shirt or tank top no logos or writing on shirt

– Must have been 18 years or older

– Minimum $20 donation per person (100% of proceeds go directly to CASASC)

This is a great opportunity to help raise awareness when in today’s society 1 in 3 people are being sexually assaulted.”

 

The photos are now posted to the I Respect event page. If you would like to see YOUR photo, click the link below!

“On behalf of Jesse Marriott, Ashlee Krutzfeldt and myself a huge thank you to those who came down to support us in our campaign to raise awareness for the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Center and the ” I Respect ” movement. While we truly appreciate your messages of respect and want them to be heard, there was not enough room on the photos to put the messages in. Please feel free to add your message when you post your own photo or you can add them into the comments. I would also like to add as a side note that you are able to order a copy of your photo without the logo and I Respect through Ashlee @ajkphotography. She has put countless hours of work into these gorgeous photos and it really Shows! Xoxo”

Some great quotes:

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” Henry David Thoreau,

Current Research is now verifying the therapeutic effects of ancient rhythm techniques. Recent Research reviews indicate that drumming accelerates physical healing, boosts of the immune system and produces feelings of well-being, a release of emotional trauma, and reintegration of self.

Drum therapy is an ancient approach that uses rhythm to promote healing and self-expression. From the Shamans of Mongolia to the Minianka healers of West Africa, therapeutic rhythm techniques have been used for thousands of years to create and maintain physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Check out this video on consent!

This clearly shows how important consent is.

Particularly when you are going to engage in sexual activity, or as they say in the video (a cup of tea).
