LAND STEWARDSHIP TRAINING WEEKEND #7: 

WILD LIFE

Oct 12-13

10am-4pm 

sliding scale: $150-300  

In this immersive weekend, we learn to partner with the WILD LIFE around you to build vibrant landscapes. We will dig into mushrooms + fungi, habitat-building, wildlife tracking and more.

This is part of an 8-month training in land stewardship—plus practices for attunement with the wider ecology. Over a full growing season, you will learn how to tend land well and fall madly in love with plants. 

This weekend is a threshold for anyone ready to walk a more ecological path — gardeners, farmers, herbalists, homesteaders, environmentalists, nature lovers and more.  Learn practical skills as you practice deep listening with land and explore your ancestral relationship to place, all in a supportive community.

THE OVERVIEW

Tending Alive is an experiment in restoring the people's hands to the soil and soul. We evoke a profound cultural remembering of how to tend our local ecosystems back to life in these complex times.

THE PROGRAM

In our immersive weekends, participants will grow a deep foundation of skills to partner with their landscapes in ecological ways.

We will dig our hands into land stewardship topics over a full growing season. The Land Stewardship Training is a comprehensive, holistic pathway into land stewardship. It offers a consistent learning structure in a supportive community over the year. It includes 8 months of seasonal learning in immersive weekends + a rite of passage ceremony.

WEEKEND ONLY: This year, weekends of the full training may be taken on a per weekend basis. Mix and match to join a weekend as it fits for your schedule or budget. This option is only available as spaces are open. Note: Participants must attend a minimum of 3 weekends to join the rite of passage ceremony.

OUR LENS + PHILOSOPHY

This program roots in the truth that wilderness is a myth and—as Indigenous communities demonstrate today as since time immemorial—humans can be beneficial to ecologies. Further, that active and informed participation can lead to more resilient, vibrant landscapes for all. We challenge the word "homesteading" as a way to describe living closely to the land, and look to deconstruct our relationship to land so we can find a more genuinely relational way forward.

Our learning holds a lens of settler responsibility and dreaming toward intersectional liberation. We hold respect and discernment when sharing knowledge rooted in Coast Salish cultural plant traditions and technologies—especially in wildtending, restoration and wild plant lessons.

A portion of ticket sales is redistributed to the Tend, Gather and Grow Project—a wild food, medicine and cultural ecology curriculum for K-12 learners centering Coast Salish communities. Their work is a powerful catalyst to cultural sovereignty, and a foundation to my awareness of traditional land tending practices. The % donated will depend on enrollment and be calculated in response to Tend's suggested levels of financial support.

OUR INSTRUCTORS

Katie Vincent (they/she) is the primary instructor for the Land Stewardship Training, as well as all add-on courses. We welcome guest instructors over the season to deepen our learning in special topics.

The plants and landscapes we learn from will be our biggest teachers.
