(IRL) The Resilience of Spruce: Decolonizing the Season
Welcome to: 🌲 Decolonizing the Holidays: Evergreens Edition 🌲
Presented by Seeding Sovereignty's Mutual Aid Program
Hosted by Yam Vallis, Seeding Sovereignty's Mutual Aid Program Manager, and tahnee simone, Spiritual worker and founder of SacredSkin Craftworks + Spiritual Arts
For the second event in this series, we’ll explore The Resilience of Spruce: Decolonizing the Season. This workshop highlights the profound AfroIndigenous connections to the spruce tree, a symbol of adaptability, strength, and community care.
Through hands-on activities, we’ll honor the role of spruce in traditional practices, creating herbal remedies that nurture both our physical and spiritual well-being during the winter months. Join us to reconnect with ancestral wisdom, challenge colonial holiday narratives, and celebrate resilience through nature.
