Regenerative Learning for
Life-Giving Futures
Through transformative learning, Fireweed Learning Commons supports transitions toward relational, regenerative ways of being together with our human and Earth kin, contributing to just and life-giving futures
Three transformative shifts
As an education non-profit, we are expert educators in transformative sustainability education, nature connection education, and just futures. Our work focuses on encouraging and supporting three key socio-cultural shifts:
Relational worlds
We are relational beings in relational worlds. What this means is we are all connected and have responsibility to each other and that which makes life possible.
Regenerative living
A sustainable society is one that regenerates living systems that have been damaged, so that life continues indefinitely and the human family has equitable access to social goods.
Community-based learning
Learning is a fluid process of exploring the intelligibility and wholeness of the world in which we are embedded, while seeking to foster relations of respect.
Land & Territory Acknowledgement
We acknowledge the law of hospitality that originally greeted newcomers to Turtle Island. We honour this Land and her peoples and aim to be truthful about colonization and our settler impacts. Fireweed Learning Commons and the people who dream it into being aim to be truthful about colonization and our settler impacts, and education is one mechanism through which we do this work.
Those of us who participate in Fireweed’s operation acknowledge the unceded Indigenous land of the Coast Salish peoples, including the SC’IANEW, Malahat, Songhees, Esquimalt, and T’Sou-ke. We support the current negotiations for the Te’mexw Treaty, that we may live into the future through right relations. We are grateful to the original and ongoing caretakers of these lands and waters.
We humbly acknowledge that the Earth supports all Life through Her generosity and abundance. We work with whole-hearted dedication to honour the Original Agreements between the Land and Indigenous peoples, learning to live in harmony and balance, and engage in restorative practices where damage has been done.
