Watershed Discipleship

“Watershed Discipleship” involves building bioregional literacy, rereading sacred scriptures with an ecological lens, rewilding our liturgy and building cultural practices that honor the earth; all of which includes learning the history of our place, addressing harm done to human and nonhuman lives, and seeking restorative solidarity with the original inhabitants of the land. Watershed Discipleship means doing to those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.

This event, on Sunday the 24th from 9-noon includes a smokin’ hot Bible Study, a worship service by the river that models the commitments of Watershed Discipleship, and a locally sourced community lunch.

Cost: $30. Registration will open in September. Contact Tevyn East, rumbleandquake@gmail.com, with questions.

“Healing Haunted Histories” helps each participant reckon with our personal and political history and legacies of settler colonialism. This work involves both inward and outward journeys to understand and “re-vise” the devised stories and distorted values of colonization that mis-shape our identity and vocation. 

This event is wrapped in ritual, while also centered in critical reflection on  family and community narratives, so as to help settlers better imagine and strategize how we can:  

  1. pursue healing from the “moral injury,” unearned privilege or suffering and “hauntings” of colonization; through a 

  2. commitment to naming, understanding, resisting and transforming historical and current structures of settler colonialism within us and around us; in order to 

  3. embody deeper practices of restorative solidarity and relationship with Indigenous communities, and other historically oppressed communities.

*** Participants in this course will receive a publication of “Healing Haunted Histories: A Settler Discipleship of Decolonization” that you may elect to have mailed in advance or receive at the event. Additionally, you will be sent optional pre-workshop homework to help you come prepared to share about your family’s stories.

“Healing Haunted Histories” will begin on Friday the 22nd at 7pm and fill most of Saturday the 23rd. Space is limited! 

A Ritual of Remembrance”in the tradition of Dios de la Muertos and All Souls will be offered on Saturday the 23rd. Beginning at 6 pm with a community meal, the ceremony will follow, incorporating offerings from Holy Fool Arts and the opportunity for anyone to share memories of those they have lost.  You are encouraged to bring a picture or a memento of a loved one you wish to remember and or a treat to share, that reminds you of that person. 

This outdoor event will be open to the public.
