Reconciling Trauma in the Body with Trauma in the Land

Description
Through storytelling and indigenous teachings, we will explore how healing our human relationships also means healing our relationship with the land. The land includes the web of relationships we share with plants, animals, spirits, ancestors, and the more-than-human world around us. This web holds us, keeps us safe, and cares for us. We steward the land, and the land cares for us in return. We cannot heal in isolation.

In this evening session, Brenda Salgado will share personal stories and indigenous and ancestral teachings about this time of humanity, and how we can work together to create racial, ancestral and land healing, and a deeper connection with one another. Making space to hold, express, and properly honor our history is a vital piece of the journey, and a way to reconcile our individual stories of separation, disconnection, and harm to create a more vibrant future for the land and for future generations.
