Location: Olive Branch Ranch (South Puget Sound)
We’re going on a field trip! Shami teens and their caregivers are invited!
A guided visit to Olive Branch: A Palestinian-owned ranch. This is a culture-tending day to connect with land and food in the context of food justice and sovereignty.
This will also be a great opportunity to meet other Shami families and some community weaving.
This event is shaped for youth of Shami/Levantine descent and their caregivers. The activities, conversations, and pace are for their safety, pace, curiosities, healing, and needs.
For culture healing through relational learning and orienting ourselves as part of the natural world 🌍. A politicized container to weave power and address systemic injustice.
As always, this is a container to honor land, heal culture, connect, and expand towards justice and wellness for all.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The guidance will be tuned to food sovereignty and culture through conversation and contemplation.
The flow will be organic based on the invitations of the land, our hosts, and the mood of the group. Some of the activities on the menu:
A land tour
Guided contemplation about food systems, ecology, and Shami agriculture, in the context of food traditions
Hands-on land tending for embodied experience and building relationships
Storytelling
Hanging out with farm animals!
Plant recognition practice
Future visioning practice
Quiet rest time
We’ll be sharing a meal together. Details on that forthcoming!
