Why creative care building?
Creative care building is how we can pivot our culture from being one that is based in extraction and exploitation to a culture that has reciprocal relationships with themselves, others and the planet.
This is done by learning and practicing
-
self-expression using Creative Liberation Practices (see below),
-
asking (what care do I need? what care is wanted?), receiving (release hyper independence!), and giving (know and communicate capacity and boundaries!), and
-
building a practice (a group of people you can practice moving from care rather than from a colonial way of thinking)ā

Creative care building is what dismantles the masters house.

I cultivate (un)learning experiences that are . . .
ACCESSIBLE
- I make space for folks with different learning styles and abilities by using accessible language, visuals, incorporating thinking pauses in teaching, and encouraging various modalities for contributing,
INTERSECTIONAL
- I make space for considering many perspectives, incorporating the ones present and the other relationships we are in, which include the one we have with ourselves, others and the planet.
TRAUMA INFORMED
- I make space for how change making affects our individual and collective nervous system, (our experiences, body and environment).
COLLECTIVE
- I make space for collaboration so that we can practice interdependence in low risk ways.
. . . using Creative Liberation Practices.
lib·er·a·tion
/ĖlibÉĖrÄSH(É)n/
noun
the act of setting someone free from imprisonment, slavery, or oppression; release.
"the liberation from systems of oppression"
Creative Liberation Practices is a framework I created to make space for equitable land based futures; it is rooted in (un)learning, creativity, and care so that we can tap into our imagination and creativity to design embodied, collective, and sustainable change.
ā
(UN)LEARNING
- The majority of the world has adopted capitalist and supremacist values. I uncover their origins, and legacy while at the same time offering alternative values to explore through embodied practices, while nurturing agency and collective care.
CREATIVITY
- I use creativity to reflect on complex issues with curiosity and imagination so that we can understand each other better, work together better, and create a plan to address challenges or fulfill intersectional change.
COMPASSION
- We are all on our journey of resistance and transformation. This might look differently for each one of us depending on our experiences. Together, we create and identify our support systems so that we can increase our capacity for change.
