Is Fall the Best Season to Visit Tofino? 🍁 We think so!

Whale spouts still dot the horizon, the surf starts picking up as the swells roll in, and there's an early morning hush settling over the beaches that you just don't get in August.

Pathways to Right Relationship ~ An Online workshop and discussion rooted in hope and the possibility of a more loving and just world.

Hosted by Tsimka Martin and Jeanette Sheehy., "Pathways to Right Relationship" is a welcoming and supportive space for non-Indigenous people aiming to make change, show up well, and work toward right relationship with Indigenous people, communities, and Nations.

They will discuss the systems and structures we live within – settler colonialism – and how it functions both structurally (laws etc.) and interpersonally, and the resulting power dynamics and imbalances.

Grounded in this awareness, they will talk about settler responsibilities and map existing and potential pathways toward right-relationship. 💕 All gender, ages, indigenous and non-indigenous are welcome.

ONLINE WORKSHOP - Pathways to Right Relationship
📆 Thursday, October 22
⏰ 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM PDT

From coast to coast to coast! 🌊

The Ethical Space Learning Pathways program brought together 20 leaders from across the country for an 8-month hybrid journey.

While they joined from afar, their learning was deeply anchored in the place-based philosophies of the IISAAK OLAM Foundation and the Clayoquot Campus. By modeling Ethical Space, we are building a national community of allies dedicated to Indigenous-led conservation.
