Land-Based Learning at Minwaadizi Farm
We are excited to welcome you to the farm.
Through storytelling and hands-on experiences, participants learn about Indigenous agriculture and how we apply our Farming is Sacred model.
LAND-BASED LEARNING
What to Expect
Many Indigenous peoples (myself included) have been forcibly removed from their home territories and disconnected from their land-based cultures because of colonization. It is my hope to help heal these injustices and build connection and togetherness by hosting seasonal land-based ceremonies and community gatherings on the land. Revitalizing our ancient cultural values and food systems towards a vision of sustainable communities for our collective future!
Minwaadizi takes a decolonized approach that focuses on relationality rather than output. We prioritize being together on the land in a respectful way, creating community and belonging through caring for the land, ourselves, and each other.
We always begin in a relational way with ceremony and connection with the land and each other.
