DESCRIPTION
What does it mean to be an ancestor in training in the face of climate grief, hyper-consumption and an uncertain future? Can you be somebody's ancestor without having direct descendants? How can we live lives that our descendants and the next seven generations can be proud of? Given the state of the world, what environment will the next three generations inherit?
Let's talk about sustainable legacies.
During the live workshop, collaborators will explore these questions through a guided healing practice featuring mixed media, discussion and writing with the intention of rediscovering how to navigate being Ancestors in Training. Attendees will receive access to the syllabus of the same name so that the roots of the conversations grown during the session can travel to their communities.
During the panel discussion, we will explore birthing justice as part of our work as ancestors in training. Veronica Agard is joined by three guests to explore approaches to this work from a variety of identities & lived experiences. The second half of our gathering will be devoted to small and large group community discussions.
