Join the circle, dear ones, for a week of embodied ecofeminism. Reconnect with nature, as nature.

During our week at The Quinta Project we will create a temporary community where each one is responsible for the whole and all will contribute to the shape, content, and outcome of our time together. As we collect and review current applications certain themes have been presented that we wish to explore further during our time together. These include, but are not necessarily limited to:

-food sovereignty
-sacredness of nature and celebration through ritual, art, and embodiment practices
-cooperation with nature
-reclaiming ancestral traditions and methods
-collectivist models and co-creation
-challenging binary notions
-nurturing care for the land, each other, our self

When applying for a place please indicate how you might contribute to the shape, content, or outcome for the week. Do you have an activity that you’d love to lead that ties in with one of the themes? Is there another theme you would like to add to the week? Do you have a special skill that you could offer? Is there a way in which you can support the group?

This week we will be prioritizing applicants who identify as FLINTA (female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans, agender) though all are welcome to apply.

This is a living, experimental space where we work together to practice and model the kind of interactions we wish to see more of in the world.
