SUMMARY:Indigenous Timekeeping and Sacred Sites Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Does time fly? Is it a line\, a circle\, a spiral? Does it touch us differently in different spaces? Many of us take for granted the meaning of the clock and the calendar\, without considering that they are cultural constructs—related to natural cycles but also distinct from them. \nIn this workshop you can explore your own notions of time and space while learning about Indigenous timekeeping and sacred sites. The workshop is led by Geraldine Patrick Encina of the Center for Earth Ethics\, who has studied the ancient and traditional calendars of Mesoamerica and also worked with Mayan communities to reclaim their original ways of timekeeping\, and Mindahi Bastida Muñoz\, also of Center for Earth Ethics\, who works for the protection of the sacred sites and biocultural heritage of Indigenous peoples. \nAttendees are asked to bring a picture of a beloved home landscape and of a sacred site they are connected to. Please also bring a device that can access Google Maps. \nThe schedule is as follows:\nSalutation to the seven directions | 11:30–11:40 AM \nParticipant’s place-based presentation | 11:42 AM–12:15 PM \nBirth season and birthplace\, ancestors’ land(s)\, and a description/depiction of our beloved home landscape in every season. \nTimekeeping as a method of “placekeeping” or caretaking for the land | 12:17–1:00 PM \nThe Mayan case. Watch a short video about the original wisdom of the Maya and their true calendar. Learn about sacred sites in Mexico and their related ritual calendar dates. By using Google Maps\, try to figure out what is/are the ritual calendar date(s) for your sacred site. \nBreak | 1:00–1:20 PM \nDeveloping a time-space consciousness | 1:25–2:00 PM \nKeeping track of the sun\, moon\, and stars in our beloved home landscape. \nActivating Sacred Sites | 2:02–2:20 PM \nHow do we activate sacred sites in our beloved home landscape? Some guidelines. \nWriting a letter to our beloved home landscape | 2:22–2:30 PM \nAn opportunity for reconnecting in a sacred way. \nAbout the Speakers \nGeraldine Patrick Encina is the Scholar in Residence at the Original Caretakers Program at the Center for Earth Ethics.
