Liveable Futures
Live lighter. Boost well-being. Get inspired. Meet like-minded folks. Build strong community.
This workshop digs into the fascinating new science of interconnectedness, transforming how we think about reality and how we build a stronger community together, in an increasingly fragile world.
You’ll learn how individual action is part of a global transition that is underway. Each of us can help create a liveable future by reducing emissions, ensuring emergency preparedness, and focusing on well-being. You will also learn how to talk and listen across different perspectives. Join us for an informative and enjoyable experience!

Swimming Against The Heat:
Salmon in a Climate-Changing World
Join us by the Charters Creek for an immersive, land-based learning experience with salmon at the heart. Together with the T’Sou-ke Nation, local streamkeepers, and the Sooke River Jack Brooks Hatchery, we’ll explore the life of salmon, their habitats, and the forests that depend on them.
Through stories, hands-on learning, and dialogue, we’ll look at how climate change is reshaping our waterways and the health of salmon, and what actions we can take to help.
This is a community gathering — intergenerational, inclusive, and rooted in the lands and waters we share.
Together For Sooke
We know something needs to change.
The question is: How do we change it together?
How can we move forward as a community - even when we don’t all agree?
Last fall, Fireweed Learning Commons and the Cascade Institute held six dialogue sessions with members of the Sooke community to explore these questions, creating space for deeper listening, respectful dialogue, and collective visioning. Whether folks were hopeful, frustrated, curious, or concerned about the tough questions facing our community, we wanted to hear from them. This was a pilot project and will be available to other communities sometime in 2026. Stay tuned for more news on this exciting project.
