What did your schooling teach you not to see about the Land beneath your school, about Indigenous history, about your responsibility to the earth? That unseeing is the root of the climate crisis in education. Moving through six outdoor phases from individual reflection to collective commitment, this workshop explores four challenges at the intersection of climate, Land, and K-12 systems: reproducing harm unintentionally, finding authentic voices, building capacity, and navigating the inertia keeping climate justice peripheral. An embodied activity makes the shift from transactional to relational pedagogy tangible. Small groups ask: what would it mean to design schools, not just lessons, from a regenerative orientation? The workshop closes in a standing circle held by Kimmerer's vision of reciprocity. Each participant names one thing to unlearn and one relationship to restore.
Connected to the forthcoming Courageous Inquiry (TC²), with guidance from Dr. Marie Battiste.
