About this Event

Swamp Jam 2026

Join us in conversations, experiential learning, shared meals, dynamic participatory workshops, lots of play, and immersive art. We will engage ideas around local and national climate policy, building backyard solutions for everyday life, and creative pathways into environmental justice work. We will also have space to process the grief around what we have lost and honor the possibilities for what we can still create together.


Swamp Jam is hosted by Grounded Possibilities

Co-Directors: Monét Marshall and Derrick Beasley
