Remembering our indigenous connections is foundational work for awakening the ecological imagination. This work enables us to heal our loss of intimacy with our plant, animal, and rock relations, to mend fractured stories, and to envision a sustainable future. This workshop explores the transformative power of ecological imagination through storytelling, visualization, and ritual. Potential themes for the day include:

• Our modern sense of self and indigenous roots
• Facing ecocide through the creative power of shadow work
• Anchoring our imagination in the riches of the natural world

• Nature as healer
• Nurturing conversations with all our relations
• Rituals for an ecological imagination
