California communities have been devastated by recent wildfires. Indigenous communities have used fire as a powerful tool to care for the earth. This year’s theme of Fire builds from our previous camps and recent themes, Water and Earth, honoring the sacredness of all Beings. Join us as we explore the power and use of fire in traditional and contemporary practice.
As the climate changes do we need new ways to care for the Earth? We will share our Histories and Love one another across Seeming Divides, all through Fun, Interactive Activities. Camp includes a service-learning project on the Land and a field trip.
