AWAKEN: reSTORYing for Resilient Community, Reconciliation and Deep Adaptation Institute

May 10th, 2021 – August 28th, 2021

In this time of great planetary transition, we are each invited to join others with the courage needed to reSTORY our Collective Future through a restorative justice journey.  In taking on a path of ‘reconciliation’ with ourselves, each other, the land, and all beings…. the wonderment of new possibilities exists.  The depth and quality of this work requires the diversity of our hearts and minds to make a journey of “reSTORYing” towards decolonization and learning.

A new journey into ‘Restorative Justice’ takes us along a path of re-indigenizing and modelling decolonization as we work to transform our current justice system into a community-based model.
