Preparation Gjoa Haven Workshop
Now that I had a list of of solid and applicable guidelines to the workshop agenda, it was time to organize the workshop itself.
Seeking and preparing a space that would be fitting, and provide the right conditions to space of exchange and open-ness, we decided on the ... center. A room in which the community sometimes organizes drumdances and other cultural affairs. We also found a caterer, and decided on a menu for each day including the community feast on the first night. Thirdly, we needed to scout an appropriate site to build a Qaggiq: a big communal igloo, especially for gatherings - to be built on the second day of our workshop.
Of course much more needed to be done. Follow the side-trail to get a full understanding of all the preparation that was required for the final workshop.
Alternatively, keep going, to jump straight into the workshop.
