Every second Sunday of the month we welcome our Afro-Indigenous community members to our Loyola plot from 10:00AM - 3:00PM.
During our volunteer days, we begin with a ceremony that acknowledges the land, our ancestors, and the interconnectedness of all beings. This opening ritual sets the tone for our time together, fostering a spirit of respect and unity. Participants are invited to engage in traditional practices that reconnect them with the earth, drawing upon age-old Afro-Indigenous wisdom that nourishes our communities.
As we work together, we create a safe space where everyone is encouraged to share their stories, experiences, and knowledge. This communal atmosphere allows us to ground ourselves in the teachings of our forebears, reminding us of our responsibility to steward the land we depend on.
At the close of the day, we gather once more to express gratitude. This closing ceremony is a moment to reflect on the day's work, honour the contributions of all volunteers, and give thanks to the earth for its abundance. Through these rituals, we not only celebrate our heritage but also reinforce our commitment to sustainability and community resilience.
