“I think that in modern times there is a greater tendency to separate our values from our daily practices. And to bring those things back together again feels like a really important thing for us to do.” -Norma Wong

Saturday, August 29th @ 8am PT / 11am ET on Zoom

Join us for “Threads of Belonging: Ancestry, Story and Sacred Responsibility” with Indigenous Maya Tseltal and Nahua scholar Yuria Celidwen (author of Flourishing Kin) and Anishinaabe/Ukrainian writer and speaker Patty Krawec (author of Becoming Kin and Bad Indians Book Club).

What becomes possible when we remember belonging not as something fixed or inherited, but as something we can actively practice, repair, and reimagine in relationship with one another and the living world?

In this wisdom conversation, Yuria Celidwen and Patty Krawec meet at the intersection of Indigenous relational ethics and story as a living, generative force. It opens a space to engage belonging as something alive and evolving—where Indigenous frameworks of relationality and story not only help us name what has been broken, but illuminate what we are still capable of becoming together.

This is not a course,
It is a crossing.

A return to the places within you
that remember how to listen
to the hush beneath the noise,
to the pulse beneath the doing,
to the sacred moving through your breath,
your body, your becoming.

Sunday, May 3rd @ 12pm PT / 3pm ET on Zoom

Join us for “Radical Reverence: Practicing Kinship with Earth and Each Other” - a Rooting in the Sacred wisdom conversation with beloved writer, scholar and poet Alexis Pauline Gumbs (author of Undrowned and Survival is a Promise) and celebrated conservationist, writer and activist Terry Tempest Williams (author of Refuge and The Glorians).

In a time when so much is uncertain and unraveling, we are being called to remember something ancient and essential: we belong to a living world. Beneath the noise of our age, the Earth is still speaking—through trees, wind, mountains, mammals, and winged-ones—inviting us to listen more deeply, to soften into relationship, and to rediscover our place within the great web of life. What might it mean to cultivate a practice of radical reverence—a way of being rooted in care, humility, and kinship with the more-than-human world?

Drawing on decades of writing, activism, and spiritual imagination, Alexis Pauline Gumbs and Terry Tempest Williams invite us to explore the wisdom of oceans, deserts, animals and wild landscapes as teachers for this moment in history. Together, we will reflect on how deep attention to the living world can awaken courage, restore hope, and nurture the relational practices that cultivate love, healing, justice, and renewal.

This conversation is an invitation to slow down and listen—to the Earth, to one another, and to the quiet knowing within us that another way of being is possible. In the presence of these two luminous voices, we will discover how reverence can become a living practice: a way of remembering our belonging and nurturing the relationships that make life possible.

“What would it mean to go deep with each other? What are the scales of intimacy and the actual practices that would teach us how to care for each other?” - Alexis Pauline Gumbs

“I believe the Earth is dreaming us into a new way of seeing, a new way of being, if we will favor our senses and receive what is coming to us through heartbreak and love.” - Terry Tempest Williams
