BIPOC RITES: TENDING THE ALTAR OF OUR ANCESTORS
This 7-day program is open to all who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)—also known as People of the Global Majority. It is a space to rekindle, stoke, and offer devotion to our relationships with the land, the more-than-human world, our ancestors, and ourselves. From this grounding, we can more authentically contribute to our communities, rooted in who we are, our people, and the lands that hold us.

More than ever it is time to remember and offer the experience of belonging, to be held, to be seen, and to show up in our collective responsibility.
