Hosted by Kate Olson and Victoria Rutledge, we will take a journey of exploration to learn about how our current climate crisis is affecting our ecosystem here in Maine, and how that is reflected in the lived experience of our bodies. With so much fear and uncertainty surrounding the drastic changes we will witness in our lifetime, how can we use grounding and embodiment practices to build and maintain the resilience necessary to hold what is to come? To stay connected to one another and build the networks of care that will sustain us? How are the ecosystems that surround us reflected within our bodies?
This workshop will include movement, journaling, and action items that we invite you to commit to as we move forward together.
To make this accessible, we are offering a sliding scale for pricing, with proceeds donated to Wabanaki REACH, an organization whose work supports the self-determination of Wabanaki people through education, truth-telling, restorative justice, and restorative practices in Wabanaki and Maine communities.
