SUMMARY:Reclaiming "Bad Kin": Writing Toward Settler Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:A Re-Calling Our Ancestors Writing Workshop with ROA community members Geneva Toland\, Zoë Fay-Stindt\, and Darcy Ottey \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us as we explore writing as a form of resistance and integration.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Only through actively beginning from our understanding of our complicity in ongoing brutality can white settlers participate in the project of remaking the world\,” writes Alexis Shotwell in her essay\, “Claiming Bad Kin.” For those of us whose ancestors took part in the early settling of Turtle Island\, displacement\, and attempted genocide of Indigenous peoples\, knowing where to begin can be daunting. But our responsibilities to our beloved dead continue in the stories we write today\, and language offers a place to begin those conversations. On the page\, we can reach across centuries to speak with our kin\, getting curious about the choices they made and reckoning with the harms they caused that brought us to the lands we live on today. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this two-hour session\, we will write towards\, through\, and alongside our settler ancestors. What questions do we have for them? How do we not turn away from\, but toward\, our “bad kin\,” with love\, humility\, and accountability? All levels are welcome to this generative session. Participants will be guided in somatic practice\, creative prompts\, and held in a container for collective sharing and witnessing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter the great turnout last year\, we wanted to offer this workshop again\, and invite new folks and past participants to return to this community container. While some elements will be the same as last year’s iteration\, others will be new and/or changed. This course will also be the precursor to an ongoing creative container we hope to launch in Spring 2026. All attendees of this session will be invited first to join that container. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWHERE: Online! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWHEN: November 30th\, 2026\, 4:00-6:00pm pst / 5:00-7:00pm mst / 7:00-9:00pm est \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSUGGESTED DONATION: Sliding Scale $15 – $65 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE
