Program Details
Recalling Our Landcestors is a 3-month BIPOC mentorship program meeting every two weeks for a total of 8 sessions during the summer grow season. Each session is an average of 60-90minutes long and is recorded for temporary personal review and self-study. You will have approximately 2 weeks to view the recorded session before the next session.
In between each Zoom session participants will have some occasional homework as well as the opportunity to receive direct 1:1 support and mentorship via email, phone and/or individually scheduled zoom check-ins. Participants are also encouraged to submit questions via email to Candace prior to each session to assure any specific questions are integrated into the content covered in the coming session.
Costs
Recalling Our Landcestors is a heart offering from me to my BIPOC family for our collective healing and liberation. I do not want this learning experience to be prohibitive for those seeking to participate; sliding scale costs and payment plans are available for those who need.
Costs cover the complete 3-month program, learning resources (eg. lecture presentations, recipes, how-to guides etc.), temporarily recorded session for review and self study, 1:1 mentorship & support from Candace throughout the grow season.
