Climate, Justice, Indigenous Actions & Trauma: Our July Community Conversations Event

 

Bioneer,

As Bioneers we are fortunate to be surrounded by a dynamic community – people who are discerning, engaged, committed and reflective. These new monthly Community Conversations hosted by Bioneers offer an opportunity to come together around topics that are deep, relevant, and engaging in order to discuss what has real meaning and value to us. 

Each conversation is stimulated by a brief ‘keynote’ or ‘conversation starter’ from a thought leader/luminary, guided through discussions by a skillful team, and captured by a creative ’synthesis’ from talented spoken word and musical artists. These community conversations offer a place to connect with others, as well as engage with and explore ideas in creative ways. 

Join us to connect, inspire and be inspired by the collaborative community of Bioneers. When you click the button below, you can register for Community Conversations events through October!

July Event: Climate, Justice, Indigenous Actions & Trauma: Healing One System for Thriving Life

What a time. So many crises at once it’s hard to know where to put our attention.

How do we co-create the conditions to birth or reclaim systems for thriving life, from the mess we’ve been born into? How might we practice focusing our attention and energies on the opportunity we face now, each in our own ways, to halt the damage and transform the systems that created all this destruction?

How might trauma perhaps undergird all of it?  How might we simultaneously tend to our own healing, while growing our compassion and learning about the intergenerational traumas experienced by our relatives who are Biracial, Indigenous and other People of Color? How might we recognize the universality of trauma in response to cultures based upon violence, disregard for human dignity, greed, commodification and broken promises?

Remembering the connective tissue among these seemingly disparate issues may help us find our ways toward effectively co-creating a future that can work for all life. Join Eriel Deranger, Dënesųłiné woman (ts’ékui), member of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, climate justice leader and Executive Director of Indigenous Climate Action, (and Bioneers’ Board Chair).

COMING IN AUGUST: Cultivating Intentional Workplace Communities with Karla McClaren


In this troubled time, we’re seeing the ruthlessness that lives inside the modern workplace, in capitalism, and in our world economies; this pandemic has daylighted what had been swept under the rug of our constant activity and productivity.

And we’ve realized that we’re all essential workers, because — as we’ve seen so clearly — the workplace, our economy, and our society cannot survive without us.

This conversation is a step toward cultivating a nourishing and intentional workplace where safety, inclusivity, emotional health, equality, and justice are available to everyone.
