Rematriation: Returning to the Sacred Mother
This session will delve deeply into the concept of “rematriation,” revealing how acknowledging the land and the planet as our Mother and acting accordingly has to lead us to a revisioning of our current values and institutions that are so out-of-balance with the sacred, and to work toward a radical restructuring of our society. The presenters will also move beyond concepts to share some lived experiences and personal stories that drive home the power of rematriation. Hosted by Dahr Jamail, Storytelling and Communications Manager at Home Planet Fund. With: Alana Peterson, Executive Director of Spruce Root; Rano Abutrobova, Board Secretary for Pamir Roots and a consultant to the Home Planet Fund.
March 28th | 4:45 pm to 6:00 pm
