Outdoor events for mixed, dual heritage and multicultural people of colour to connect with nature and cultivate their belonging.

Belonging is an existential issue that uniquely touches all of us. Our sense of home and belonging—especially for mixed, bi-cultural and multicultural people of colour—is threatened on a global scale. In our world built for othering, we believe home-building must be a collective, imaginative act rooted in nature.

Research shows that mixed and multicultural POCs are more likely to face negative mental health outcomes and feel like they don't belong where they live. They are more likely to rely on urban areas to find their communities, even though living in urban areas exacerbates mental health outcomes. Being in nature has shown clear mental health benefits. We therefore see the outdoors as the third place: where we can replant ourselves in the universe, together in community.

We do these workshops outdoors because the natural world contains many powerful narratives and metaphors to help us rewrite our story of unbelonging in transformative ways.
