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
Traditional Knowledge
Ancestral Skills
Identifying with the Land
Lifting up our Indigenous realities
Addressing Historic Trauma
Ceremonial Fire Tending
Mindfulness & Awareness

During each season in the fall, winter, and spring, we meet via zoom to orient, guide, and open conversation. We gather for an in person weekend - during winter in an indoor accomodation - while days are spent outside, deepening our connection with the land. We follow up with another zoom call afterwards to process our experiences.
