Activities
Futures Rising is inviting you to nourish and restore the land. We will be tending the land where we have planted traditional foods and medicines. This space will center Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to come together to talk about possibilities, be held by the land and each other. In our deep need for community and the restoration of relation with the land we invite you to share space with us!
During this time we will be reflecting on the teachings of interdependence and how the plant people can show us the way. We will be working on preparing the space for this years planting of traditional foods and medicines.
Here is a loose agenda to center our youth in their learning:

Looking at Biomimicry and How Nature is in Relationship, how western science has used extractive and violent measures to build tools and systems of dominance. How Indigenous lifeways are founded on Original Instructions and Complex Systems of Reciprocity. How Contemporary Movements have adapted and built thriving systems of survival ie. Black Panthers and all the movements that were inspired through this movement.

Ivy removal in waterways and everyones' systems. Through removal, what are we then building? How do we move to make new systems to prevent erosion? What are methods and practices? How are we building, while we are also dimatling? How can we listen and learn from these systems? What is being harmed or exploited? How can we repair harm, and do harm reduction as we are building and dismantling?
