The Healing Project:

The Healing Project was created to normalize the conversation around healing. We partnered with three individuals overcoming sexual trauma to share their healing journey with us and to design tote bags that continue the conversation.

Our “Don’t Carry it with You” tote bag was designed by Jen, one of the three Creators for The Healing Project.

“It goes by many names, shame and guilt are the ones I called it most. I carried it with me, but you don’t need to carry it with you.” - Jen

About the Tote:

Every tote bag includes a matching sticker! The Classic Canvas Tote Bags are 100% heavy canvas, measure 15” x 15” x 3”, and are the perfect lifestyle tote for your everyday needs. Our Travel Tote Bags are also heavy canvas, measure 20” x 15” x 5”, and are wide enough to fit all of your travel and grocery needs.

We support local. Our tote bags were screenprinted in the Waterloo Region by a living wage employer and our labels were sewn on by a seamstress in Guelph.

Profit Sharing:

The Community Company is a social enterprise that is in the process of becoming a Certified B Corporation. We strongly believe in Linked Prosperity, meaning that as our business grows, our community of partners should benefit and grow alongside us. You can learn more about Our Promise here.

Our three Creators for The Healing Project were paid $50 for their time, and earn 5%-12% from every sale. Additionally, 10% of all revenue will be donated to our two charity partners on this project: Guelph-Wellington Women in Crisis and Sexual Assault and Support Centre Waterloo Region.
