“Many of the so-called ‘skills’ taught in the fields of nature connection and ancestral arts are not skills — these are lifeways — Indigenous, multi-species pedagogy for time immemorial. We have the right to access and reclaim our Lifeways.” - Pınar Sinopoulos-Lloyd

How You Get Access

These recordings were only made available to registered conference participants for a limited time. We have received a steady stream of requests to allow wider access, however, we recognize that these teachings are not ours to profit from.

Today, NCN is proud to have partnered with our presenters to make these powerful recordings accessible to a larger audience. All profits go exclusively to the Nature Connection Network's BIPOC Reparations Fund and the presentations are being offered with sliding, pay-what-you-can pricing.

Overseen by the NCN’s Black, Indigenous, and People of Color Circle, this fund directly supports BIPOC leadership within the field of nature connection. Areas of funding include:

Reparations Awards to support BIPOC participation in NCN programs.
Compensation for BIPOC leadership within NCN’s Shared Leadership.
Fair exchange for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color presenters at NCN programming.
Support for BIPOC-led initiatives within NCN membership as well as in the broader community.

Give your support to future BIPOC efforts within nature connection.
