Contemplative Photography

Ken Burton

Leader: Jacqie Wallen
Tuesdays: March 25-April 29, 2025 – On Zoom, 7:00-8:30 pm

Being Indigenous: A Way of Life to Heal Earth & Each Other

Leaders: Kolya Braun-Greiner and Lucy Slater
Tuesdays: Feb. 4-March 11 – In Person with simple meal at 6:30, class 7-8:30pm

What does being indigenous mean?  How does that differ from the dominant Western culture? How is that dominant culture at odds with our own natural (indigenous) relationships with Earth? Together we’ll explore how being indigenous is consistent with the roots of our faith. How can we be in solidarity with indigenous peoples and with Earth? 

We’ll draw upon chapters of Penobscot lawyer, Sherri Mitchell’s Sacred Instructions: Indigenous Wisdom for Living Spirit-Based Change.…
