Kultivating Kapwa: Conversations with Community Episode 2.25
"Tending to Our Grief: Kultivating Kapwa in All Relations with the Medicine of Vulnerability"
In this episode, we are joined by Shane Bernardo. We discuss grief being his greatest teacher, cultivation of relation to self, others, and the land, how caregiving is a political and spiritual act, visionary organizing, and more.
Shane Bernardo is a co-founder of Food As Healing, a social movement based on ancestral, Earth-based traditions that are critical for maintaining our identities, sense of belonging, health, and wholeness. Shane is also a grower, anti-oppression facilitator, storyteller, and food justice organizer based in Detroit, Michigan that uses food and the stories embedded within them as mediums for healing and decolonizing.
