Forum: How, Then, Shall We Live

Sunday March 3, 2024, 1 – 5 pm
Sooke Community Hall, downstairs dining room

Transition Sooke was fortunate to receive funding from the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions to put on this exciting afternoon event.
 
People are apprehensive about the future and want to find ways to engage in positive environmental change. “How, Then, Shall We Live” explores indigenous worldviews on the human relationship with nature, and paths we might take to build climate resilience in our community.
 
Author and journalist Dahr Jamail will draw from his recent book, co-authored with Stan Rushworth, “We Are the Middle of Forever” which features interviews with Indigenous scholars and knowledge keepers asked ‘how, then, shall we live?’ His keynote will explore how indigenous communities have lived for centuries with a sense of connection to nature, stewarding their surrounding ecosystem.
 
Following Dahr’s keynote, local community resource people will bring these ideas home to Sooke — sharing their group’s actions and approaches and sparking small group discussions.
