What if artistry once again means the particular and unique way that your soul practices stewardship in this world?
rivers of becoming
Two Rivers summer school is a gathering together of those yearning for, working in, or living into stewardship, community, ecological tending, creative practice. It is for anyone holding space, searching, creating, looking for alternative methodologies for their work or community. It is for anyone eager to practice otherwise tendencies together, and feed the flame of an emergent pedagogy.
Two Rivers summer school brings together ancestral practice - through constellations and its wider principles - with land and soul practice - through the four directions or shields of knowing that supports rites of passage work. Threaded within that are perspectives by artists and facilitators working with plant allies, dreams and land justice.
Two Rivers summer school
comes out of working across arts and education, and the lesser known field of rites of passage or wilderness guiding and soulwork. When I’m in higher educational contexts, I see students yearning and longing for something they haven’t received - initiation into the next phase of adulthood. I see peers, colleagues, friends, lovers, yearning for collective cultures of regenerative practice aka ceremony, not within a wellness context but recharged in their originally political context. Where we turn to living systems and our tending of them to open pathways of soulful culture. To live a soul-infused life is to deny modernity’s attempt at erasing our entanglement with the land, ancestors, human kin and one another.
Two Rivers summer school is held and guided, with space for personal enquiry, as well as being a space to listen collectively through specific questions we ask the land and the field on behalf of future generations and current conditions.
