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.
