Conjuring New Lifeways with Ancient Wisdom & Emerging Science
January 28, 2012
A fundraising workshop for the Seven Directions Land Recovery Project. Activists, artists, community workers and all folks welcome. Facilitated by Zainab Amadahy.
The workshop's frame of reference:
Colonial mindset has denigrated Indigenous wisdom for generations. The cultural practices of indigenous peoples around the globe have been regarded as foolish, harmful and contradictory to science. Meanwhile, Eurocentric science has been used to rationalize inequality, justify genocide and create technologies that destroy life and community.
Yet, to the relational mindset of indigenous and other peoples, the separation of cultural wisdom from scientific knowledge is a flawed way of thinking. The tendency to see knowledge and wisdom as antagonistic to each other is clearly not helping the planet and the variety of species that live upon her.
Emerging science and global Indigenous movements are inspiring us to reframe unhelpful ways of thinking and celebrate our inter-relatedness to each other, the Earth and all life.
The seven directions land recovery project:
The Seven Directions Land Recovery Project aims to create spaces where Indigenous peoples of this territory can reclaim our traditional stewardship of the land for the health of our communities, the broader society and the earth.
