Women have always been present, shaping the world around them. But their stories and impact have been downplayed, ridiculed and trivialized, which has negatively shaped how we see and value women, and how women see and value themselves, for millennia.

Who Took The Mary Out of Christmas?
This Year, Join Garden of Even™ in Toronto for Shchedryk: A reimagining of the Christmas story that brings (Mother) Mary and Olha Kobylianska into conversation across centuries.
Through original art, historically grounded storytelling and unconventional conversation, come hear the Christmas story from Mary’s perspective. Explore what changes when we hear the Christmas story differently, and leave inspired by Mary’s revolutionary vision for a better future.
My work in over 100 cities from 30 countries, all going through seismic social, political, or economic transition, has taught me the transformative power of storytelling. And the transformative power of truth.
The Garden of Even is a platform to share unknown truths about women we think we know well, and some we should know better. Here, we recognize their power and contributions.
