Farm Field Trip 4 Shami Teens

June 14 @ 10:30 am - 4:30 pm PDT

We’re going on a field trip! Shami teens and their caregivers are invited!

A guided visit to a local farm (Olympia, WA). This is a culture-tending day to connect with land and food in the context of food justice and sovereignty

​This event is shaped for youth of Shami/Levantine descent and their caregivers. The activities, conversations, and pace are for their safety, pace, curiosities, healing, and needs.

​For culture healing through relational learning and orienting ourselves as part of the natural world 🌍. A politicized container to weave power and address systemic injustice.

​As always, this is a container to honor land, heal culture, connect, and expand towards justice and wellness for all.

WHAT TO EXPECT

​The guidance will be tuned to food sovereignty and culture through conversation and contemplation.

The flow will be organic based on the invitations of the land, our hosts, and the mood of the group. Some of the activities on the menu:

  • ​A land tour

  • ​Guided contemplation about food systems, ecology, and Shami agriculture, in the context of food traditions

  • ​Hands-on land tending for embodied experience and building relationships

  • ​Storytelling

  • ​Hanging out with farm animals!

  • ​Plant recognition practice

  • ​Future visioning practice

  • ​Quiet rest time

​We’ll be sharing a meal together. Details on that forthcoming!
