In April\, May and June\, we are exploring these three honorings and relating them to our commitment to honoring the earth. \nIn April\, we explored honoring the Asian lineages of our practice. For May\, we will have a special gathering in Central Park to explore Honoring Native Land. \nWhat does it mean to honor native land in a city rampant with the destruction and desecration of nature? How do we heed the call of indigenous communities that proclaim that land acknowledgements are not enough? How do we forge a connection to earth that goes beyond ideas of property and ownership to ones of relationship and stewardship? \nJoin us as we use embodied and relational practices to explore these questions and more. \n“Land is the basis of all independence. Land is the basis of freedom\, justice\, and equality.”\n— Malcom X \nLogistics:\nFor planning and health purposes\, please register in advance as we need you to fill out your travel history and a health declaration form in advance\, and manage a potential waitlist. \nNote on travel: If you have travelled outside the countries or states where you are required to quarantine for 14 days after your return\, and you have not completed this quarantine period by the day of the event\, please abstain from attending the event.
