Upcoming
Tending Ecologies: Release ~ Bioremediation with Fulcrum Arts
January 31st / 12 - 2pm
Tending Ecologies is a workshop series about caring for the land around us and the landscape of our bodies.
The health of our bodies and the health of the Earth are inextricably intertwined, which has been forgotten in many ways due to colonization severing this connection. Workshop participants will engage with ideas of release, nourishment, attention, and renewal in resonance with Earthly cycles and practices of bioremediation, bioregional herbalism, ethnobotany, ecological art and sound, and healing arts.
In addition to its focus on embodied practices, each workshop will include discussions oriented toward unraveling and unlearning ingrained colonial structures that cause separation from our bodies and the Earth, and exploring the ways we can come back into right relationship. Part of this relationship-building will weave through ecological listening to the acoustics of soil, while monitoring the changes in the soil’s health resulting from hands-on bioremediation.
As a part of the ecosystem we reside in, remediating-remedying the inheritances of our internal and external environments is an act of resistance and resilience. By listening more deeply to the soil, the plants, our bodies, and the cycles of the Earth we move with, we learn and remember the ways that we can tend to life itself.
