Earth Knowledge

Open to Wôpanâak and BIPOC adults.

Our Earth Knowledge program deeply connects us to the land, each other, and our individual purpose within a communal setting. It is reparation time and Sassafras recognizes the importance of gathering in spaces with First Nations and BIPOC people. Together we create a connection between taking care of our communities and our mother earth. Through experiencing ancient knowledge and sharing with kindred spirits, we collectively embark on the journey of decolonization.
