"The world is not a problem to be solved; it is a living being to which we belong. The world is part of our own self and we are part of its suffering wholeness. Until we go to the root of our image of separateness, there can be no healing. And the deepest part of our separateness from creation lies in our forgetfulness of its sacred nature, which is also our own sacred nature." -Thich Nhat Hanh

Today @ 5pm PT / 8pm ET | 'Regenerating the Earth: Ecological Skills & Culture Keeping' with Earth restoration practitioners Rowen White (Indigenous keeper of seeds & native foodways), Chanowk Yisrael (urban farmer and food justice activist), and Brock Dolman(Permaculturist and watershed steward) hosted by beloved BJ Star (facilitator, trainer & coach).

We live in a critical time for our planet and the shared future of all living beings. The ecological and climate crises we face are numerous, and so are the supposed solutions that can halt the destructive trajectory. How can we look to traditional ecological skills that our ancestors practiced for millennia in order to regenerate the Earth back to a healthy ecosystem? How can we utilize strategies that restore our community and cultural connections, as much as they revitalize the natural world? Without humans working together in balance, we have little hope of finding our way back to harmony with the planet. Join us for a conversation full of earth wisdom and activation.
