Our humanity is worth making room for.

Welcome to Birch + Bloom: a gathering practice for people curious about themselves, each other and the world around them.

Ways to gather

Hi, I’m Cristin.

I'm the person behind Birch + Bloom.

I've spent much of my life and career bringing people together in organizations, communities and around dinner tables. I'm increasingly curious — and a little in awe — of what can happen when we make more room for creativity, connection and real conversation.

Birch + Bloom grew from that curiosity.

It's a place for me to gather people around some of the things that come with being human. Sometimes that's about our work. Sometimes it's about belonging, honouring grief, moving through change or simply noticing the season of life we're in.

The gatherings I host change regularly, which is part of what I love about it.

My work is rooted in the belief that humanity is worth making room for.
