our approach
our trainings are grounded in Indigenous wisdoms
We offer culturally-attuned workshops and training, grounded in the wisdoms and practices of Black, Indigenous and Queer lineages.
Too often, outdoor preparedness and survival training programs are white, male-dominated, heteronormative spaces, and are taught through a patriarchal, settler-colonial lens of taming, dominating and extracting from the natural world.
In our trainings, we disrupt this narrative by remembering and envisioning a decolonial past and future informed by indigenous African, Native American and Queer wisdoms, rooted in the interdependence and nurturance of all of life, interspecies and intergenerational accountability, and remediating the myth of white/male/cis/hetero/human exceptionalism.
In the world we are building, we all get to survive; as do our lands, cultures, foods, songs and traditions.
