Grow, Hear, Now

With Lama Residents & Guest Facilitators

May 26-30
Offered by Donation

 

Join us at the Lama Foundation this Spring to reconnect—to remember our place in the Web of Life.

Grow Hear Now is a call to collaborative ecological awakening. It’s a space to plant seeds—both physical and spiritual. We’ll cultivate bioregional, drought-tolerant foods of sovereignty while responding to the triple planetary crisis: biodiversity loss, climate change, and pollution of water, soil, air, and bodies—human and wild.

This is a time for deep listening and shared stewardship—with Lama Mountain, and the Earth as a whole. The land is One. Together, we’re creating a garden—fertile ground for remembering, for returning to our place as Earth, as One Life. Into this ground we plant seeds of interconnectedness, of living in omnibeneficence—in ways that support all of Life.

All other species already live this truth. Now it’s our turn to remember.

Let’s answer the call to right relationship—to listen, to serve, to participate. Our task is to help restore the Great Network of Life, ensuring its harmony and resilience for all beings.

Grow Hear Now is our response: We are here. We hear you, Mother. We will grow—now.

We grow into more resilient, responsible, peaceful humans. Guided by spaces of stillness and deep listening, we root into the subtle knowing of the Earth—the Earth that is us, calling us home to our role in its body.

Coakee Wildcat began his Life in the Oklahoma Seminole Nation. He has practiced organic gardening since childhood, organic farming for much of his adult Life, and regenerative horticulture, food forestry, and wildland restoration for the last decade. The studies and practices which inform his agroecology and eco-restoration thought and work include western science soil biology/ecology; many realms of mycology, botany, ecology, and zoology; ecological anthropology and history; ethnobotany; herbalism; plant/fungi medicine work; “conventional” regenerative agriculture; ancient indigenous agroecology and ecological land management sciences; landscape water retention; wetland restoration; syntropic agroforestry; food forestry; desert reforestation; Miyawaki reforestation; and ecology/climate physics (including Biotic Pump Theory). He integrates these western science studies, modern agroecology and ecorestoration practices, indigenous agroecology traditions, anthropogenic landscape studies, food/medicine work, and ecological history into a coherent picture of what human relationship with Earth looks like when we act as a steward species.

Mutima Imani is an internationally recognized facilitator, speaker, and author specializing in transformative practices that awaken personal and collective potential for a thriving global society.
