Theme - Tending the Garden: Tools for Change and Climate Optimism
Inter-Org 2022 will highlight tools for individual and community care to nurture ourselves and the earth so we can ensure it is inhabitable for future generations. Aware that our ecological and social challenges are inseparable while disproportionately impacting BIPoC, students will learn the importance of community building as a form of sustainability, healing, and resistance. By tending the garden, both literally and metaphorically, we ground collectively in earth to process climate doom narratives and realities. At this year’s retreat, we hope to advance transformative and innovative solutions that account for all life and infuse optimistic energy within the participants.
Tending the Garden will include three options for attendance:
1.
FULL EXPERIENCE: entire conference in person (including Saturday overnight stay)–
best option!
2.
HYBRID EXPERIENCE: a mix of in-person and online attendance (NO overnight stay)
3.
REMOTE EXPERIENCE: entirely remote attendance (for selected events only)
Everyone is welcome to attend the opening Friday night.
1. Those choosing the FULL EXPERIENCE will be picked up Saturday morning to go to Camp Campbell and return to Santa Cruz on Sunday afternoon.
2. Those choosing the HYBRID EXPERIENCE will return to Santa Cruz on Saturday night.
3. Those choosing the REMOTE EXPERIENCE will be able to stream selected events.
