One of the most consequential lies ever told was nature = wilderness.

Pre-colonial landscapes were not wilderness. They were gardens. Designed, managed, and curated by civilizations over thousands of years to produce abundance for all life.

These were not accidents of nature. They were sciences.

Dr. Lyla June's six-week online course with Gaia Education, "Indigenous Sciences: Food Systems, Land Stewardship, and Sustainable Worldviews," is not an inspirational course about Indigenous . It is a rigorous, evidence-based excavation of a hidden — one that has profound implications for how we think about land, , , and our own place in the living world.

This July, the emergence network (ten) is launching Play-Study: a collective space orienting around creative works which inspire postactivist practice and community.

For the first cohort, they will be delving into Selah: A Báyò Akómoláfé Reader. Selah is a curated selection of Báyò’s writings over the years edited by Eden Pearlstein, published by Ayin Press, with artworks from longtime ten collaborator, Krista Dragomer (). The reader includes essays, poems, philosophical fragments and parables on postactivism.

ten is creating a Postactivist Playbook, a living curation of postactivist practices and guided reflections that will grow as participants read together, weaving in practices that emerge from curators and participants alike. They’re approaching the book sideways—using a process of bibliomancy rather than reading the book cover to cover.

This first foray into Play-Study begins on July 16th. The journey will last three months and folks can engage asynchronously with the materials or join emergent online encounters for connection, discussion, and further provocations with other participants (and possible surprise visits from Báyò).

It’s pay-what-you-can between $20 - $35USD (or more, if possible). Register by July 15th to play & study with ten: https://tinyurl.com/playstudyten

Ayin Press is offering participants in Play-Study a 30% discount on the book, purchase here: https://shop.ayinpress.org/products/selah-a-bayo-akomolafe-reader

Introducing: a journal with no beginning and no end.

Cycles of Gaia launches Kickstarter for a 52-card journal designed to be kept for years, layering a writer’s seasonal observations against 3 decades of data tracking the average leafing, flowering, and fruiting schedules of 20 native tree and shrub species.

Unlike conventional planners, the journal cycles back around each year, allowing a writer to add new observations alongside the entries they made the year before — and the year before that.

“Most journals ask you to start over every January. This one asks you to come back,” said Erik Assadourian, founder and director of Cycles of Gaia. “When you write in the same week year after year, you stop measuring time the way a calendar measures it and start measuring it the way the land does.”

The journal is printed on 12-point cardstock and housed in a rigid, recycled chipboard sleeve designed to protect the pages and serve as a writing surface in the field.

Learn more and support bringing this journal to life: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gaianway/cycles-of-gaia-perpetual-nature-journal
