SUMMARY:Our Sacred Foods Project: Teaching Young Children about our Ancestral Knowledge and Indigenous Foods
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous foods provide sustenance and connect us to our ancestors. Our Sacred Foods Project is an Indigenous food initiative led by a nonprofit organization in Minneapolis. In this episode\, our panelists share the story of how this project was started and how they expanded their efforts to address food deserts in urban spaces. Through this initiative\, Native families of Minneapolis learn about Indigenous foods\, food systems\, and connections to ancestral knowledge. The Indigenous food scene is growing. We are excited to hear how this effort supports young children and their families in sustaining culture and developing physical\, mental\, and spiritual health. \nTurtle Talk is back! We invite Native parents\, teachers\, and caregivers\, along with those working with Native children and families and those interested in the work of raising our Indigenous children\, to join us for the third season of Turtle Talk: Collectively Raising Indige-babies\, a BTC Family-to-Family Real Talk virtual conversation series! \nAll episodes are free and open access — register today for one or all conversations! All are welcome! \nThe series is convened by the Indigenous Early Learning Collaborative (IELC) Institute and is a fun way to engage parents and families in thinking forward about how we collectively raise Indigenous children and babies in a contemporary and fast-growing technological\, global\, Indigenous society. Turtle talk refers to our animal relatives speaking with one another and with us. The play on Indigenous babies\, “Indige-babies” for short\, in the title calls us to look just over the horizon and ask ourselves\, “What will the world be like for our babies/children and families? How does being raised in this fast-evolving world with the increasing demand of digital\, technological\, and cultural engagement impact our traditions and approaches to raising our babies?”

SUMMARY:Attuning to the fire’s wisdom: Exploring Our Relationship with Power
DESCRIPTION:This Program has been approved for 6 CEUs for Licensed Social Workers\, Mental Health Counselors and Marriage and Family Therapists by the Washington State Society for Clinical Social Work. \nUsing storytelling as a tool to access collective wisdom\, this interactive workshop invites participants to engage in the exploration of their own stories. Through guided reflection\, activities\, and dialogue\, participants will explore their social identities\, values\, and experiences with power\, privilege\, and belonging. Participants will be invited to consider how these experiences influence the ways they show up in relationships with babies\, young children\, families\, colleagues\, and communities. \nInspired by fire as a central metaphor\, the facilitator will engage participants in recognition of their own power while discussing importance of intentionality and care for the responsible use of power. Fire can provide warmth\, transform\, unite community\, support celebration and ritual. Power can also burn\, destroy and hurt. Participants will explore how self-awareness can support more intentional\, equitable\, and healing-centered use of power. \nThrough storytelling\, reflection\, and shared learning\, participants will identify ways to use their professional roles to foster emotionally responsive relationships\, promote family and community uniqueness from a cultural humility approach\, and create environments where children and the adults who care for them can thrive. \nParticipants will leave with a deeper understanding of their own relationship with power\, an appreciation for storytelling as a tool for reflection and connection\, and practical insights for using their influence to support relational health\, promote equity\, and contribute to collective healing within the families\, organizations\, and communities they serve. \n\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify at least three aspects of their social identity and describe how these influence how they navigate relationships with the families and communities they serve.\nRecognize at least two emotional or relational responses that emerge during reflective dialogue related to power.\nExamine one personal assumption or bias that may influence interactions with families or colleagues they work with.\nDevelop one actionable commitment to strengthen relationship-based practice with the families they serve.\nCommit to implementing one reflective activity (such as journaling\, reflective consultation\, reflective thinking\, storytelling\, or peer dialogue) within the next four weeks to strengthen intentional use of power and support healing-centered relationships in their professional role.

SUMMARY:El fuego como maestro: Una exploración de nuestra relación con el poder
DESCRIPTION:Este programa ha sido aprobado para otorgar 6 CEU a trabajadores sociales con licencia\, consejeros de salud mental y terapeutas matrimoniales y familiares por la Washington State Society for Clinical Social Work. \nPor medio de la narración de historias como una herramienta para acceder a la sabiduría colectiva\, este taller interactivo invita a sus participantes a explorar sus propias historias. A través de actividades\, reflexión guiada y diálogo\, las personas participantes explorarán sus identidades sociales\, valores y experiencias relacionadas con el poder\, el privilegio y el sentido de pertenencia. Asimismo\, reflexionarán sobre cómo estas experiencias influyen en la manera en que se relacionan con bebés\, niñes pequeñes\, sus familias\, colegas y comunidades. \nInspirándose en el fuego como metáfora central\, la facilitadora acompañará a participantes en el reconocimiento de su propio poder\, y promoverá una reflexión sobre la importancia de ejercerlo con intencionalidad\, responsabilidad y cuidado. Así como el fuego puede brindar calor\, transformar\, reunir a la comunidad y acompañar la celebración y los rituales\, también puede quemar\, destruir y causar daño. A partir de esta metáfora\, participantes explorarán cómo ser más cocientes\, favorece el uso del poder de una manera más intencional\, equitativa y enfocada en la sanación. \nA través de la narración de historias\, la reflexión y el aprendizaje compartido\, participantes identificarán maneras de utilizar su rol profesional para fortalecer relaciones que sean emocionalmente conectadas\, promover las fortalezas y singularidades de las familias y las comunidades desde un enfoque de humildad cultural\, y contribuir a la creación de entornos donde los bebés\, lxs niñxs pequeñxs\, así como las personas adultas que les cuidan\, puedan desarrollarse y prosperar. \nAl finalizar el taller\, las y los participantes habrán profundizado en la comprensión de su propia relación con el poder\, reconocerán el valor de la narración de historias como una herramienta para la reflexión\, la conexión y el aprendizaje colectivo\, y se llevarán estrategias prácticas para utilizar su influencia de manera consciente con el fin de fortalecer la salud relacional\, promover la equidad y contribuir a la sanación colectiva dentro de las familias\, las organizaciones y las comunidades a las que sirven. \n\nAl finalizar este taller\, sus participantes podrán: \n\nIdentificar al menos tres aspectos de su identidad social y describir cómo estos influyen en la manera en que navegan las relaciones con las familias y comunidades a las que brindan servicios.\nReconocer al menos dos respuestas emocionales o relacionales que surgen durante el diálogo reflexivo relacionado con el uso del poder.\nExaminar un sesgo personal que pueda influir en sus interacciones con las familias o con los colegas con los que trabajan.\nComprometerse a realizar una acción concreta para fortalecer la práctica relacional con las familias a las que sirven.\nComprometerse a implementar una actividad reflexiva (ejemplo: diario de escritura reflexiva\, consulta reflexiva\, ejercicio de Pensamiento crítico\, narración de historias o el diálogo entre colegas) durante las próximas cuatro semanas\, con el propósito de fortalecer el uso intencional del poder y promover relaciones centradas en la sanación en su práctica profesional.
