SUMMARY:Re-Calling Our Ancestors Fall 2026 Monthlong
DESCRIPTION:October 15 – November 12\, 2026\, weekly Thursdays \n\n\n\n2 – 4pm Pacific Time (5-7pm Eastern\, 10pm-12am BST) \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Re-Calling Our Ancestors team this coming fall\, October 15th – November 12th\, 2026\, for a moon cycle of community exploration and ritual inquiry in ancestral recovery\, truth-telling\, and collective repair designed for white\, white-passing\, and white-proximate people committed to dismantling systems of oppression in ourselves and in the world around us\, as well as in our communities of practice and in the bodies of work we carry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the waxing and waning of the moon\, we’ll gather via zoom on Thursdays at 2 – 4p Pacific Time (5-7pm Eastern\, 10p-12am British Summer Time) to explore the earth-cherishing traditions of our ancestors\, the harm our ancestors endured\, the harm our ancestors caused\, and the ways our ancestors resisted and persisted along the way. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“We approach our ancestors not as detectives gathering information but as descendants committed to relationship.”\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n– Shay Sloan Clarke\, Re-Calling Our Ancestors Core Guide \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThrough a series of online sessions\, home study and practice\, one-on-one peer support\, and small group mentorship\, we will honor the lineages that we’ve inherited\, lay down the inheritances which no longer serve\, and hold space for the grief—and relief—of letting go. \n\n\n\nCollectively\, we are building a community of practice rooted in each of our own lineages of blood\, land\, and path\, encouraging and supporting each other in the work of cultural renewal and repair. It is through shared study\, community witness\, and group accountability that we do our work as white\, white-passing\, and white-assimilated folks to build anti-racist culture rooted in connection with our ancestors and future descendants (both human and more-than-human). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“From new moon to new moon\, the Re-Calling Our Ancestors Monthlong unfolds in a spiraling practice full of curiosity and care. Within this holistic framework\, I experienced deep compassion for my ancestors—in all their beautiful\, messy humanity—and for myself.”  \n\n\n\n– Amie Adams\, ROA ‘26 Alum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants are encouraged to participate individually or with a working partner or group. Previous participants\, we welcome you back for another turn on the spiral and a chance to go deeper\, together! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE DETAILS\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSliding Scale: $150 – $700 \n\n\n\nDate: Weekly Thursdays\, October 15 – November 12 \n\n\n\nTime: 2 – 4p Pacific Time (5-7pm Eastern\, 10p-12am British Summer Time) \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nREGISTRATION IS CLOSED FOR THE FALL MONTHLONG. \n\n\n\nNot able to join this time\, but want to stay informed about upcoming sessions?

SUMMARY:Wild Wanders Through The Seasons: Fall
DESCRIPTION:Ceremonially Marking the Cycles & Seasons of Our Lives  \n\n\n\nNov 1st\, Feb 7th\, May 2nd\, August 1st \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFall Wander\, November 1st\, 2026 @ 9 AM\n\n\n\nAll wanders will take place in the Methow Valley watershed\, exact location shared upon registration. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nIn the spirit of attuning ourselves to the seasons of both our valley and our lives\, we invite you to join one or more of a series of communally-held solo wanders.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThese seasonal\, ceremonial walks offer solo journeys with community support to intentionally orient and mark the cycles of our season ahead\, perhaps as preparation or integration for a bigger life transition\, to mark a particular moment\, or as a practice of ongoing renewal.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWe will begin each Wild Wander as a small circle of community\, to check-in\, orient\, clarify intentions\, and finalize preparations for a safe journey alone. Greeting the sunrise\, sunset\, or perhaps the coming dark of night\, you will cross a threshold (a small circle of stones\, a line in the sand\, or the space between two trees) to mark the beginning and ending of your walk. You will sit or wander with a question\, intention\, or prayer while fasting from the common comforts of food\, shelter\, and human company as sacrifices to sanctify this meaningful time. Upon your return\, we will welcome you back\, share a simple meal\, and hear your stories from the Wild Wander before you return home.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSimple. Grounded. And much needed in these times.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT: A ceremonial solo time in the wilds with your own intentions\, questions\, and prayers\, held and witnessed in community. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWHERE: Locations are TBD each season\, depending on current conditions; they will always be in the Methow Valley watershed. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWHEN: Sundays for up to 8 hours of the day\, sometimes into the night\, depending on the season. These Wild Wanders are scheduled for Nov 1st\, 2026\, Feb 7th\, 2027\, May 2nd\, 2027 and August 1st\, 2027. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCOST: There is no cost to participate in these wild wanders\, and we welcome your support! You can make a gift here – please select ‘Rites and Responsibilities’ in the drop down menu when gifting. Contributions from our community make it possible for Rites and Responsibilities to make events like this possible free of charge. Right now\, we are raising $30K to cover our expenses for 2026\, which include website improvements\, outreach efforts\, basic office infrastructure\, and a modest stipend for Scott & Darcy. Here is more information on our way with money. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions? Contact darcy@nourishing-futures.org \n\n\n\nThis event is hosted by Rites & Responsibilities\, a core project of Nourishing Futures. Learn more here.

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

SUMMARY:Wild Wanders Through the Seasons: Summer
DESCRIPTION:Ceremonially Marking the Cycles & Seasons of Our Lives \n\n\n\nAugust 1st \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSummer Wander\, August 1st\, 2027 @ 9 AM\n\n\n\nAll wanders will take place in the Methow Valley watershed\, exact location shared upon registration. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the spirit of attuning ourselves to the seasons of both our valley and our lives\, we invite you to join one or more of a series of communally-held solo wanders.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThese seasonal\, ceremonial walks offer solo journeys with community support to intentionally orient and mark the cycles of our season ahead\, perhaps as preparation or integration for a bigger life transition\, to mark a particular moment\, or as a practice of ongoing renewal.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will begin each Wild Wander as a small circle of community\, to check-in\, orient\, clarify intentions\, and finalize preparations for a safe journey alone. Greeting the sunrise\, sunset\, or perhaps the coming dark of night\, you will cross a threshold (a small circle of stones\, a line in the sand\, or the space between two trees) to mark the beginning and ending of your walk. You will sit or wander with a question\, intention\, or prayer while fasting from the common comforts of food\, shelter\, and human company as sacrifices to sanctify this meaningful time. Upon your return\, we will welcome you back\, share a simple meal\, and hear your stories from the Wild Wander before you return home.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSimple. Grounded. And much needed in these times.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWHAT: A ceremonial solo time in the wilds with your own intentions\, questions\, and prayers\, held and witnessed in community. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWHERE: Locations are TBD each season\, depending on current conditions; they will always be in the Methow Valley watershed. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWHEN: Sundays for up to 8 hours of the day\, sometimes into the night\, depending on the season. This Wild Wander is scheduled for August 1st\, 2027. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCOST: There is no cost to participate in these wild wanders\, and we welcome your support! You can make a gift here – please select ‘Rites and Responsibilities’ in the drop down menu when gifting. Contributions from our community make it possible for Rites and Responsibilities to make events like this possible free of charge. Right now\, we are raising $30K to cover our expenses for 2026\, which include website improvements\, outreach efforts\, basic office infrastructure\, and a modest stipend for Scott & Darcy. Here is more information on our way with money. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions? Contact darcy@nourishing-futures.org \n\n\n\nThis event is hosted by Rites & Responsibilities\, a core project of Nourishing Futures. Learn more here.
