Adriane Pong

Adriane is a companion for the dying and grieving, or in fancy terms, a Certified Thanatologist Pastoral Specialist. She cares for those experiencing hard realities in life by making space for them to just be. She wants to share the whole spectrum of life with youth and enjoys analysing case studies of loss in anime to do that. Currently, Adriane works as a Spiritual Care Practitioner at Trillium Health Partners. For self-care, she spends time with her cat and enjoys hiking (touch grass).

Can watching anime bring me closer to God? Adriane will describe how the power of friendship and being in her feelings helped her analyze different shows and learn more about her faith. Find out if you can do that too in these year’s workshop. Warning: this workshop may contain some spoilers.
