The invisibility of indigenous culture and people allows cultural genocide and climate destruction to continue. The ignorance of others in “dominant groups” is very harmful – both emotionally and in terms of progress in the climate movement. Allies to indigenous peoples can become better informed and help raise the voices of indigenous people.
Listening Exchanges
Exchanging listening is an important way to heal from the damaging effects of colonization and capitalism on our minds, hearts, and our relationship to ourselves, each other, and all of nature.
In this workshop, we will use listening exchanges to learn to:
● Back Indigenous leadership
● Connect and heal our minds and hearts from colonization and capitalism
● Explore and reclaim our basic needs for love, connection to others and nature, fun times, and our passions, including our passion for a beautiful and liveable world for all.
followed by Healing Circle (optional)
3:30pm – 4:30pm
Healing circles based on shared experiences give people a chance to be listened to about feelings connected to climate change. Having the chance to share feelings of grief, fear, anger, discouragement, and hope in a mutually supportive group can refresh us and give us new ideas for action.
Registration and sharing your contact information is optional, but if you register, we’ll send you a reminder. Either way, please join us.
