About this Video Series

Decolonizing Gender with Nature highlights why a fundamental shift in how we think and talk about gender is critical for us to move forward into a new world that supports, celebrates, and values everyone.
The on demand series tells the BIG story about the roots of gender and body oppression and how this oppression continues to be upheld even in our most progressive understandings of gender.
Through 6 main videos and 10 supplemental videos, the series breaks down the controls that have been piled on top of nature, and humans, and how these controls reinforce binary thinking and implicit bias.
Knowing the BIG story helps us see through the false binary to cultivate a new planetary mindset in alignment with nature. It’s time to heal our relationship with the earth and ourselves.

"When we understand Nature's timeless patterns,
we know gender and body diversity are valuable and necessary."
