Listening to BIPOC/PGM Network Members

The Farm-Based Education Network BIPOC/people of the global majority into a listening process to share your thoughts about future offerings to support you. This listening is in partnership with Richael Faithful (they/them), a folk healing artist, who has hosted spaces with FBEN since 2019. In 2022, Richael hosted the 6-part healing-focused series centered the reclamation of, and reconnection with, our bodies, our places, our ancestors, our beyond-human kin, our cosmologies, and each other through the mirror of nature.

At this time, we're pausing together to deeply listen for how FBEN can be most supportive to BIPOC/people of the global majority working in food/farm/garden/land education. This form of listening is the first relational step in understanding if or what we create later in the year.

Want to share your ideas?

• Sign up for a phone or video call. Book a time this March or April with Richael, or with Vera.

• Join a Learning and Listening Session with Richael, happening March 23, April 7, and April 9.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Everyone who shares their feedback (along with their name and email) will receive either a half pint of maple syrup from Shelburne Farms, Shelburne, VT or a bag of herbal tea grown from EarthSeed Detroit. Additionally all respondents will be entered to win a $25 gift card to True Love Seeds.
