Earth Knowledge

Open to Wôpanâak and BIPOC adults.

Our Earth Knowledge program deeply connects us to the land, each other, and our individual purpose within a communal setting. It is reparation time and Sassafras recognizes the importance of gathering in spaces with First Nations and BIPOC people. Together we create a connection between taking care of our communities and our mother earth. Through experiencing ancient knowledge and sharing with kindred spirits, we collectively embark on the journey of decolonization.

Earth Knowledge Series

Earth Knowledge focuses on the following areas:

Ancient Mentoring
Naturalist Knowledge
