WHAT: An offering to anchor collective care, to inspire wise ecological action during times of uncertainty, and to raise funds for the next round of the ATTUNE program
This day-long, virtual event will highlight practices from Weaving Earth’s ATTUNE program, including ecological awareness, bird language, embodiment, radical astrology, and prophetic practice. We offer these practices in support of collective care and well-being during inauguration season. This seminar is a prayer to behold the ecological remystification of power as essential to informing our wise action as caretakers on this planet and to provide anchoring and support in the face of the fear and uncertainty that many of us are feeling.
Evoking and reclaiming the historical link between the auspicious and inauguration, we will be offering our curiosity towards seats of power that draw their responsibility from the prophetic attention (brontë velez) that emerges from ecological wisdom. How has power historically been mystified, imagined, and rooted in ecology? How can we attune to those ancestral practices? How must power be re-ecologized, remystified, and reimagined to sustain livability on this planet?
We intend for this daylong experience to widen our perspective – expanding beyond the human narrative, so that we may then return to it with more care and resource. Not to diminish our human relationships or bypass the importance of “staying with the trouble” (Donna Haraway) but to invite our more-than-human allies to support us and allow ourselves to be supported by them. How does that widening influence our social and ecological care? What happens to our co-liberation work when we reclaim it as ecological? We trust that when we have access to pattern recognition and our ancestral lifeways, we are able to collaborate with place and spirit to instigate miraculous care in our respective bioregions for our human and more-than-human relatives.

This day-long event is intended to raise funds for Weaving Earth’s ATTUNE program, which seeks to regenerate the wisdom of intuition alongside the development of tangible skills for living in and responding to the climate emergency. (More on the Attune Program below.)
To honor anyone who could use some extra resourcing right now, be it from impacts from the fires in LA, or simply from navigating the ongoing pressures of these challenging times, we have added a free option. Please come join us; we hope this space can be supportive to all of us right now.
Tickets are offered on a tiered scale, from $0-$108. Please choose based on what is possible and joyful for you to give while also taking equity into consideration (we encourage those who come from privileged identities, wealth privilege, or have access to wealth to consider giving in accordance).
The ATTUNE program seeks to regenerate the wisdom of intuition alongside the development of tangible skills for living in and responding to the climate emergency. Guided by the reclamation of the lineage of auspices (whose etymology is bird-seer), we are interested in strengthening the prophetic muscles of curiosity and the remystification of our disaster preparedness. Here are some of the core inquiries we are exploring through ATTUNE:
~ what happens to our neural pathways, our molecules, our ways of relating, our organizing, our carework, the places we live, when we offer our attention to the patterns of the earth and attune to what is emerging?
~ what happens to our social and ecological systems with that renewed attention to the earth’s languages?
~ how are we preparing to take care of each other in the weather of our times?
~ how does strengthening our muscles for awe and pattern recognition support our disaster preparedness?
~ how are we shaped as we reclaim our attention and offer it to the interconnected aliveness of the planet?
~ how does loving, compassionate presence change the quality of our mutual aid and wise action in such times of need?
