What does it look like to decolonize our healing practices, our medicines, and the ways we relate to the land and one another? What helpful practices, tools and understandings can inform us as healers, practitioners, educators and scholars and help us to replace violent colonial structures and practices with just and generative ones? And what does the natural world have to teach us about the process?

Through lecture, experiential exercises, and small group discussions, this workshop asks and addresses these questions. We’ll take an interdisciplinary approach, looking through the lenses of history, (ethno)botany, archeology, women's and gender studies, and medicine--but also through non-academic and decolonial practices, through our family stories, personal histories, and case studies.

Participants will leave with new conversations around ways we can decolonize healing spaces and education around healthcare, and ways to reframe our relationships with the land we occupy and steward.
