Canada
a spiritual gathering for land based learning
Gather with Indigenous and settler allies to reclaim the homegrown, the homespoken, the homebred, and the homemade:
- Learn drum songs.
- Make jam, soap, sausage and more.
- Bead a medicine pouch.
- Meet old friends, make new friends.
- And more!
Our week together will include hands-on learning about growing, harvesting and preparing medicines and foods from the land. There will be time for listening, sharing, singing, ceremony and sharing good food together. Come root yourself in an understanding of the land as our health. Share in the spiritual teaching, laughter, and new learning. And most importantly, taste the beauty of friendships formed through nurturing one another as the earth nurtures us.
Food for us comes from our relatives, whether they have wings or fins or roots. That is how we consider food. Food has a culture. It has a history. It has a story. It has relationships.–Winona LaDuke
