A Storytelling Circle on Land, Food, and Memory
About this Event
Sowing Stories: Memory in the Soil
Calls in a sacred reciprocity between land, memory, and storytelling, honoring the ways the earth holds our histories and how food becomes a vessel for remembrance, survival, and care. Rooted in inner recollective practices, this gathering explores food not only as sustenance but as living memory embedded deep within our DNA.
Through reflection, conversation, and creative practice, participants will explore the ways seeds, recipes, migration, and oral histories become acts of resistance, cultural preservation, and community healing.
Total Time: 3 Hours (including breaks)
Focus
- Center personal and ancestral experiences of land and food.
-Explore the intersection of food justice, cultural survival, and community and familial sovereignty.
-Use storytelling as a tool for memory activation.
-Create one piece of shared or personal storytelling (journal entry, poem, or scene).
Please bring a journal and photos of ancestors or any personal items you'd like to connect with for the exercise.
We will be set up on blankets and pillows in the small field behind the tennis courts. If using public transport, take 1 train or BX9 bus to 242nd street and Broadway.
Parking available next to the Van Courtlandt golf house, entrance near the Major Deegan.
