Science and Nonduality Conference

Science and Nonduality Conference SAND is a journey, an exploration on the nature of awareness.

At Science and Nonduality, preeminent scientists, philosophers, mystics and artists gather to explore and advance the new paradigm emerging in spirituality that is both grounded in cutting-edge science and consistent with the ancient wisdom of nonduality--the deep understanding of the interconnectedness of life.

In this glimpse from Flowers of the Earth: The Prayer of the Guarani-Kaiowá, Guarani-Kaiowá leader Anastácio Peralta and Ñandesy Floriza de Souza Silva speak from a relationship with land that is at the heart of the film.

For the Guarani-Kaiowá, land is more than territory. It is body, ancestry, belonging, and life itself.

Anastácio, born in the Tey’i Kue community and now living in Panambizinho, has spent decades advocating for Guarani-Kaiowá land rights, including carrying the voices of his people to the United Nations.

Together, these voices invite us to encounter a different understanding of our place on Earth: we do not simply live upon the land. We belong to it.

🌺 Join us for the live online premiere of Flowers of the Earth, followed by a gathering with Guarani-Kaiowá leaders.

In this invitation to Liberation Psychology, Palestinian psychiatrist and psychotherapist Dr. Samah Jabr reflects on the limits of Western trauma theory.

She speaks about how dominant models of trauma have often been shaped around experiences such as those of soldiers returning from war. But the Palestinian experience asks us to understand something different: trauma that is collective, generational, and unfolding within ongoing conditions of occupation, displacement, and erasure.

How do we speak about healing when the source of harm is not safely in the past?

How do we understand trauma when it moves through families, communities, memory, identity, and the threat of being erased as a people?

Dr. Jabr invites us to widen the psychological lens so that it can hold history and political reality alongside individual experience.

This is part of the work of Liberation Psychology: Roots, Memory, & Practice, a nine-month learning journey exploring approaches to healing rooted in context, collective life, lineage, and liberation.

🗓️ September 9, 2026 – May 20, 2027

What is Liberation Psychology?

Healing does not happen in isolation.

Our inner lives are shaped by family, history, culture, power, land, community, and the conditions of the world around us.

This carousel introduces Liberation Psychology, an approach that asks us to widen the lens beyond individual pathology and consider the historical and systemic forces that shape human suffering.

What becomes possible when we stop asking only, “What is wrong with this person?” and begin asking what happened to them, their families, their communities, and the worlds they inhabit?

Liberation Psychology: Roots, Memory, & Practice is a nine-month learning journey bringing together teachers, practitioners, and wisdom keepers to explore decolonial, relational, and justice-centered approaches to healing.

Healing the Soul Wound
Podcast with Eduardo Duran

Recorded live at our May 2026 online gathering celebrating Little Singer, the Diné film in The Eternal Song series, this conversation with psychologist Eduardo Duran (Apache/Tewa/Lakota) begins with the prophecy of Crazy Horse and moves through the teachings of the elder who trained him, the soul wound and the origins of the term historical trauma, why Indigenous languages of verbs change how we understand diagnosis, and the Diné teaching of K’é: the universe wired in complete relationship. Trauma, he reminds us, is a movement and not an identity, and the medicine is in the song itself. Eduardo joins the teaching panel of our upcoming live course, Liberation Psychology: Roots, Memory & Practice.

After our time in Palestine, this was the hardest place we have ever filmed.

Not to compare pain, but to speak truth to what we witnessed: in the red soil of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, Indigenous people are being killed in broad daylight with total impunity. The level of injustice, violence, and daily oppression is staggering.

Yet alongside that violence lives an extraordinary strength of spirit.

In their own language, the Guarani-Kaiowá call themselves Yvy Poty, Flowers of the Earth. They have been pushed to the very edge. They have nothing left to lose, which means every single day is an active choice to survive. Every breath is an act of resistance: reclaiming stolen land, reviving ancient prayers, protecting their language, and refusing to let their way of existing be erased.

Before making this film, we knew so little about their history and their relentless struggle. We made Flowers of the Earth so their story can no longer remain invisible, and so we can all begin to walk alongside them.

Flowers of the Earth begins streaming today, worldwide. We invite you to watch and to bear witness.

FLOWERS OF THE EARTH : Voices from the Film

The land was never negotiated. It was taken.

Across this carousel, Anastácio Peralta, Guarani-Kaiowá leader from Mato Grosso do Sul, speaks to a relationship with land that reaches far beyond ownership.

The Guarani-Kaiowá do not speak of themselves as separate from Nature.

They are Flowers of the Earth.

As Anastácio shares, the land does not belong to them. They belong to the land.

Born in the Tey’i Kue community and now living in Panambizinho, Anastácio has spent decades advocating for Guarani-Kaiowá land rights, carrying these struggles from his community to spaces including the United Nations.

We are honored that Anastácio will join us live for the global premiere of Flowers of the Earth: The Prayer of the Guarani-Kaiowá and our online gathering.

We invite you to watch the film, listen to the voices of Guarani-Kaiowá leaders, and learn more about their ongoing struggle to return to and care for their ancestral territories.

"Rooted Action:
Earth, Spirit, and Collective Empowerment"
A Community Gathering with Starhawk, facilitated by Rae Abileah

In a time of profound ecological and social upheaval, we are invited to remember something ancient: we are not separate from the living world. The Earth is not a backdrop to our lives, but the ground from which we arise—and a source of wisdom for navigating profound change.

Join author, activist, permaculture teacher, and elder wisdom keeper Starhawk in conversation with Rae Abileah, together exploring how earth-based spirituality, ritual, imagination, and the wisdom of living systems can help us meet this moment.

Following each film in SAND’s The Eternal Song series, we hear a recurring question, particularly from people of European descent: How do we reconnect with land, ancestry, and the sacred? How do we live in meaningful allyship with Indigenous peoples while recovering our own earth-based ways of knowing? Starhawk’s life and work offer possibilities: Rooted in Pagan earth-based practice while honoring her Jewish ancestry, her journey has carried her from ritual circles and permaculture communities to accompaniment in Palestine and engagement with Indigenous land protection movements.

After more than five decades exploring spirituality, ecology, and social transformation, Starhawk is asking a new question: What would a regenerative movement look like? And how we might move beyond simply resisting what is broken to cultivating belonging, agency, resilience, joy, and new possibilities for life?

Together, Rae and Starhawk will explore what living systems teach us about transformation; how spirituality and strategy can nourish one another; and how imagination helps us practice futures that do not yet exist. They’ll consider how to keep ancestral and ecological intelligence alive amid the rise of artificial intelligence—and how to remain awake to profound injustice without surrendering our capacity for beauty, relationship, pleasure, and joy.

An Invitation To Liberation Psychology

In this reflection, Iya Affo asks us to look at a fundamental tension in how we approach healing.

When someone is suffering, we so often focus on the individual.

What is wrong with them?
How do we diagnose them?
How do we fix them?

But what happens when the deeper wound lives within the conditions surrounding that person?

Iya speaks to the limitations of exporting Western frameworks of mental health across the world as though they are universal, especially when those very frameworks can reproduce individualism and disconnection.

If a system is failing people, replicating it more widely is not the answer.

We have to listen to other ways of knowing. To communities, cultures, and traditions that understand wellbeing through relationship, ancestry, land, and collective life.

Perhaps one of the deeper mistakes is the assumption that everything we encounter is broken and needs to be fixed.

Liberation Psychology: Roots, Memory, & Practice invites us to widen the frame and explore what healing can become when we move beyond the isolated individual toward history, lineage, community, and collective care.

FLOWERS OF THE EARTH ✨ Trailer Release
The Prayer of the Guarani-Kaiowá

Global Film Premiere + Live Online Gathering with Guarani-Kaiowá Leaders

In the red-soil heart of Brazil, the Guarani-Kaiowá call themselves Flowers of the Earth.

For them, there is no clear line between the body and the land. Water moves through the body and returns as rain. The earth is skin. The tree is umbilicus. The mountains are the bones of a living mother.

For more than a century, this relationship has been violently disrupted. Ancestral territories have been fenced, burned, cleared, mined, and poisoned, while Guarani-Kaiowá communities have been pushed onto small fragments of the lands that once sustained them.

Flowers of the Earth listens to Elders who remember the forest before it was cleared for farms and monoculture. It walks alongside healers whose prayers move with the constancy of breath, and young women leading the Retomada, the return to ancestral lands.

Their story is a struggle for survival, and more than that: a love between a people and their land, and a quiet, defiant invitation to reforest not only the land, but also our minds.

Deep gratitude to Anastácio Peralta, Sandra Procópio da Silva, Sonia Guajajara, Ñanderu Tito Vilharva, Ñanderu Jorge da Silva, Ñandesy Floriza de Souza Silva, Elida de Oliveira, Ambrózio Ricarte, Roberto Benitez, Lídia Machado, Kunha Tai Vera Ju, and many more, for opening your home and sharing your stories with us.

🗓 Global Premiere & Live Online Gathering: September 22
👥 Featuring Guarani-Kaiowá leaders sharing their voices, stories, and sacred fight for their home.

Liberation Psychology: Roots, Memory & Practice

A nine month participatory immersion for anyone who serves healing and is ready to work at the scale of the polycrisis we’re actually living in.

Western psychotherapy individualizes and pathologizes, and in doing so it hides what systemic oppression, colonization, and historical trauma have done to us. The clinical hour is often too small a territory for the healing that’s needed. We can’t treat symptoms while leaving the systems that generate them untouched. We cannot truly mend our hearts while ignoring the environments that break them.

Nine months of study and practice in Liberation Psychology and decolonial therapy: how colonialism lives in the psyche, why healing is political, what it takes to move from fixing individuals toward collective liberation.

Begins September 9. Full nine months, or the three month Roots trimester as a way in. Monthly payments from $97. Scholarships close September 1.

Come walk with us.
