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

Online and/or on-land hybrid.

Date: TBA

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.
