We kick off the weekend with a Wine and Cheese evening which is a great chance to meet and greet the artists in a festive environment. Each year we have an art raffle to recognize the value of art in all areas of our lives. 100% of the proceeds from the Art Raffle goes to the CancerCare Art Therapy Program.
Of note, our group has received a lot of attention and recognition: we are thrilled to have been featured in the Free Press as well as on CTV morning live. We have a 3 page spread in the Charleswood Neighbours and Winnipeg West Magazines and we were recognized by the Roblin MLA, Kathleen Cook. Her office created a Private Members Statement about our group that was read in the Legislature on March 17th and entered into the province’s history books.

TedXWaverley
2026-04-25 10:00 - 16:00
We live in a world running at full volume. Updates, algorithms, opinions, pressure. Amid all that noise, harmony feels like a luxury. But what if harmony isn’t quietness, it’s clarity? What if balance isn’t the middle point between extremes, but the art of knowing when to move, when to pause, and when to listen?
TEDxWaverley was born to be that space: a human-scale event where ideas, art, and emotion meet in perfect tempo. We believe intelligence is not only rational, it’s emotional, intuitive, and shared. When we mix logic with empathy, data with music, and ambition with kindness, something new happens: wisdom emerges.
Our goal is to help people feel and think better, not just know more. We don’t sell tickets: we craft experiences that give people back a sense of balance, between doing and being, learning and resting, thinking and feeling. We want every talk, every pause, every sound and color in the room to remind people of one truth: that progress and peace can coexist.
As a team, we’re the guardians of calm in a noisy world. We design with empathy, communicate with transparency, and keep our focus on people, not metrics. Our success isn’t measured in followers or views, it’s measured in the quiet “Oh! Now I get it” moments our audience carries home.
TEDxWaverley stands for creative thought with human warmth. For elegance without ego. For innovation with purpose. This is HARMONY: The Art of Balance, not a slogan, but the rhythm we live and work by.
