The Agroecological City Conference: Ancestral healing through food and land stewardship

Ancestral healing through food and land stewardship: A peer-to-peer workshop
Mar 2 2021
The challenges posed by our exploitative and racialized food system require that we work in multicultural coalitions and movements. But so often, these efforts are hindered by an inability to create a sense of belonging and work across lines of difference. Healthy foods and land stewardship offer powerful tools to reconnect the body to healthful lifeways, improve nutrition, reduce inflammation, and heal ancestral pain. This workshop, facilitated by a diverse coalition of voices from across Northern California, will place peers in affinity groups to discuss culturally-relevant practices and lessons and then broaden into a group discussion on multicultural approaches to healing on land. This workshop aims to develop practices and agreements for collective liberation in the food system that honor each of our unique gifts.
