Political Pod Meeting: Embracing Indigenous Wisdom in our Local Communities
Hosted by Lydia Stevens and Diana Collett
The June workshop of the Political Pod focuses on finding practical ways to heed the advice given by Rituraj Phukan in his inspiring presentation on May 12th, entitled Connecting Indigenous Wisdom with Sustainability Practices in the Global North.
We will explore ways in which coaches can embrace the indigenous wisdom in their local areas and integrate it into their work.
This broad area of inquiry could include things like researching local knowledge, connecting with indigenous community members to learn their current views on regenerative practices, developing integrated and collaborative coach/consulting packages and promoting this knowledge and indigenous connections through our networks.
Our gathering will give us all an opportunity to learn from and inspire one another to embed these grassroots elements into our thinking and approach.
