Indigenous Brilliance Podcast – Season 2 Ep. 3: Intentional composting is creative community care process

Play episode here

In the final episode of season 2, Art Ecosystem members Lexi and Karmella chat with friend and community member Kílila Raine (Squamish Nation) about transformative justice, harm reduction and accountability processes in the context of self care, community care, renewal and growth.

This episode closes out the year with an invitation to care for ourselves and care for each other through the messy process of conflict resolution and accountability. We are invited to rest, to step into a space and practice of transformative justice on a fractal level (adrienne maree brown), to compost our conflict, plant our seeds close to home, and tend to growing better futures.

We are reminded by this episode that being accountable to ourselves and each other in community, is a process. We invite you to examine your own process and step into the liberation, creativity, and practice of accountability, with room for mistakes and compassion in our growth along the way.

Until next szn,

thanks for tuning in, and thank you to everyone we are accountable to, and in community with!

“Transformative Justice takes as a starting point the idea that what happens in our interpersonal relationships is mirrored and reinforced by larger systems. […] For me, Transformative justice is about how we respond to violence and harm in a way that doesn’t cause more violence and harm.”
