ROWEN WHITE
Seeds of Resilience: The Cultural Dimension Plant Biodiversity In Indigenous North America

Join Mohawk Seedkeeper Rowen White as she shares her insights about Indigenous seeds and their stewards across Turtle Island; stories that embody the vision of relationality and kinship between humans and plants and explore the depth of the cultural dimension of plant biodiversity in North America. She will share the collective vision of intercultural healing that emerges when we center Indigenous leadership, traditional ecological knowledge, cultural memory, and sovereignty of living in relationship with the cultural inheritance of land, seeds, and other non-human kin. Her uplifting stories from her work at the Indigenous Seedkeepers Network will paint an uplifting picture of inter-cultural climate sanity for the regenerative land stewardship movement in these times of great transformation.

Nick Routledge
Agrarian Sharing Network and 'New World Creation'

Some call it 'the deep ecology of unity' but Agrarian Sharing Network (ASN) has always been, indivisibly, an avant-garde social as much as ecological project. With a focus on practicalities, Nick will be describing how ASN's hands-on experience wedding 'applied biodiversity' to a deliberately post-economic, post-political model of relatedness and collaboration, grants access to a bio-cultural realm of union, synthesis, synergy and manifestation lurking beyond the perceptual and operative reach of conventional stewardship paradigms.
