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.

During each season in the fall, winter, and spring, we meet via zoom to orient, guide, and open conversation.
