Tending Ecologies with Paige Emery: Release ~ Bioremediation

Tending Ecologies is a workshop series about caring for the land around us and the landscape of our bodies.
The health of our bodies and the health of the Earth are inextricably intertwined, which has been forgotten in many ways due to colonization severing this connection. Workshop participants will engage with ideas of release, nourishment, attention, and renewal in resonance with Earthly cycles and practices of bioremediation, bioregional herbalism, ethnobotany, ecological art and sound, and healing arts.
In addition to its focus on embodied practices, each workshop will include discussions oriented toward unraveling and unlearning ingrained colonial structures that cause separation from our bodies and the Earth, and exploring the ways we can come back into right relationship. Part of this relationship-building will weave through ecological listening—listening to the ecoacoustics of soil while monitoring the changes in the soil’s health resulting from hands-on bioremediation, and listening to the Earth to remedy our relationship with it.
As a part of the ecosystem we reside in, remediating-remedying the inheritances of our internal and external environments, is an act of resistance and resilience. By listening more deeply to the soil, the plants, our bodies, and the cycles of the Earth we move with, we can learn and remember the ways that we can tend to life itself.
