2. Direct quote from ShuNahSii's book saying, “Showing up in sidewalk cracks and schoolyards, in alleyways and parking lots - [the plants] defied and challenged the arbitrary lines drawn around who was, and was not, worthy of a beautiful, vibrant life. Long before I could say it quite this clearly, I knew there were things I needed to learn from them about liberation and bounty, about authenticity and the kind of life I wanted to live, and perhaps most importantly, the kind of world I wanted to foster.”

3. Image of the cover of ShuNahSii's debut book, Rose Medicine - Lore, Liberation, and Practical Application which is an up close shot of a statue of Mother Mary with roses around her head, with the text, "Available for pre-order in the bio!" beneath it.

It's obvious to all of us that the ways of this here colonial culture are deeply draining and that's no accident - if we are tired, depleted, or isolated from each other, we won't rebel or redirect. It's also very obvious that we desperately need rebellion and imaginative redirection. So join us in this evocative and dreamy re-seeing of our world.

Seriously, people, my second-grade granddaughter can see how the systems that we live with were put in place to stop us from even recognizing our bodily needs - let alone our soul's calling. "Why is there a shorter list of when we are allowed to even go to the bathroom than when we are not?" Grandma "Good question honey, let's talk about how our educational systems were put in place during the Industrial Revolution to make us into unquestioning workers." But we are NOT automatons - we were not made to fulfill a profit for the few. Nor should our children be burdened with the consequences of the global climate crisis - we NEED to reimagine - stepping out of what IS is a legitimate emergency. Community nurturance can reconnect us with our true collective potential! So come hang out with us tomorrow in Dream Calling - our virtual learning circle kicking off our Radical Nurturance series - and let's see what we can do. Lynx in b!0

Radical Nurturance is a sacred space for reimagining - with an amazing crew of artists, healers, activists, and cultural change-makers - join us as we step outside of time, loosen the grip of false mandates, and reimagine together. In this series of virtual gatherings we will lay to rest lying stories we hold inside of us, and open to authentic and practical emergent possibilities.

Through dream entry/meditation, creative process, hands-on activities, somatic exercises, and wakeful conversation we will seek out not only the world we long for, but our distinct places in it.

Remembering to recenter the absolute need for nurturance is revolutionary. There is an outright and honestly violent dismissal of the value of nurturance in this world that is causing all kinds of harm - to the people, to our movements, and to the earth. We get tricked - in our lives and in our movements - into moving the pieces around within systems that are designed to exhaust and destroy us - but following the thread of nurturance opens us to possibilities beyond.

The soil is the culture from which all things grow, and just as we need healthy soil to grow healthy food and ecosystems, we need the soil of a healthy culture in which our bodies, souls, communities, and dream seeds can thrive. Come, reimagine the culture with us in ways that offer freedom and restoration!
