Replenish: A Gathering For Indigenous Climate, Water, and Land Defenders

October 2 – 6, 2024

With Kim Haxton

Replenish: A Gathering For Indigenous Climate, Water, and Land Defenders 2024 is a five-day invitation-only, Indigenous-led gathering to seek and find pathways that bring healing, inspiration, connection, and collaboration to Indigenous knowledge keepers including Elders, land, water, climate defenders, and young change-makers from across Turtle Island and parts of the Global South.

This gathering is committed to solutions centred on the voices, needs, and leadership of Indigenous folk who have been disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis.

The gathering is being shaped with great intention and care by Kim Haxton (IndigenEYEZ) and advised by Indigenous leaders and partners.

It will be guided by the four principles of recognition, respect, reciprocity, and responsibility. The event is a small but important step in Hollyhock’s journey to right relations and a progression of our climate work. Relationships take time, trust, and dedication to build.

Through the creation, curation, and hosting of climate gatherings, we have realized that to effectively address climate change, solutions must target the ongoing drivers and root causes of the crisis, like colonialism, which continues its onslaught to this day. In 2023, we hosted the first Replenish gathering and received an incredible response from participants about how meaningful it was to sit in circle, share healing practices, ceremony, and find strength.

The Seven Salves for Healing

Kim Haxton will guide and create a caring container for this gathering through her deep knowledge of healing, decolonizing, and connecting to land by focusing on the Seven Salves for Healing. The Seven Salves for Healing are:
    1. Singing
    2. Dancing
    3. Story telling
    4. Connection to nature
    5. Prayer/meditation
    6. Laughter
    7. Food
This medicine will begin to:
    • Strengthen connections with land, water, people, and nature through ceremony
    • Foster pathways based on Indigenous values and practices to build relationships and alliances between individuals and Nations
    • Inspire, regenerate, and offer rest to the spirits of those who work tirelessly to protect and restore planetary health and community well-being
    • Create tools to bring back to others to offer security and enhanced capacity for community care

Here's what 2023 Replenish participants had to say about their experience:

“I loved that we were respected with privacy, we did everything we wanted and even had space to cook our own food!”

“This was exactly what I needed at the time and will definitely attend again in the future if invited, we need more programs like this!”
REPLENISH 2023 PARTICIPANT

“What an amazing experience. It was a perfect blend of helpful tools we learned, connection with the other participants and cultural activities. It was so beautiful to connect with a small group of people that are doing the same work and I am so grateful that it was so intimate. Due to intense frontline burnout I would not have been able to retain more than what was offered and so deeply appreciate the restful/connection times built into the program. The activities and skills shared built trust and relationships between myself and other participants that I have not experienced in any setting in such a short amount of time. The connections made I know will stay with me for the rest of my life. It feels profound and fated. Misiyh.”
