As the founder of R3 Ecology, Yulia\u2019s work centers on restoring degraded ecosystems while rekindling human relationships with land through education, ceremony, and immersive nature connection. They walk a path that integrates scientific knowledge, systems thinking, and Earth-based wisdom\u2014always in service to contribute to a future rooted in ecological balance &amp; kinship with the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ecosystem immersion practice invites participants to explore the interconnectedness of all beings through attuned presence, sensory awareness, and ecological reflection. Guided from a restoration ecology lens, we\u2019ll attune to the light &amp; life moving through our all the layers of our ecosystems \u2014 from soil to sky, microbes to galaxies \u2014 recognizing the threads that connect us within a living, intelligent Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through prompts, activities, and collective sharing, participants will deepen their awareness of their surrounding bioregional ecosystems, whether joining from the temple grounds or tuning in from afar. Together, we\u2019ll explore how humans are part of \u2014 and responsible to \u2014 the web of life, with the power to act as keystone species in service to regeneration &amp; balance.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-7598_789edc-c3 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-7598_789edc-c3 .kt-divider{border-top-width:4px;border-top-color:#203000;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-7598_789edc-c3\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column7598_e4a25a-2c > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column7598_e4a25a-2c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column7598_e4a25a-2c > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column7598_e4a25a-2c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column7598_e4a25a-2c > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column7598_e4a25a-2c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column7598_e4a25a-2c{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column7598_e4a25a-2c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column7598_e4a25a-2c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column7598_e4a25a-2c\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/GF-Mkie-Bastine-256x256_flip.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/GF-Mkie-Bastine-256x256_flip.jpg 256w, https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/GF-Mkie-Bastine-256x256_flip-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/GF-Mkie-Bastine-256x256_flip-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grandfather Mike Bastine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Bridging Ancient Teachings and Modern Life in Service to Mother Earth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>10:30 am  &#8211;

A former student of renowned Tuscarora medicine men Wallace \u201cMad Bear\u201d Anderson and Ted Williams, Grandfather Mike brings a deep lineage of traditional wisdom. He is also the co-author of <em>Iroquois Supernatural: Talking Animals and Medicine People<\/em>, a book that shares stories of spirit, nature, and the sacred teachings of his people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this workshop, you will explore cosmic cycles that shape all life\u2014the moon phases, the Solstices and Equinoxes, and the great wheel of the seasons. These natural rhythms are not abstract\u2014they are instructions. They guide planting, resting, ceremony, healing, and renewal. Indigenous cultures have followed them not as a belief system, but as a lived reality. The invitation of this workshop is to learn how to practically align your own daily life with these sacred cycles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How to track the moon and use her phases for healing, intention-setting, and inner work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why the Solstices and Equinoxes matter energetically and physically\u2014within our bodies and in the land around us<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What specific sacred plants can assist us in different times of year and phases of life\u2014from calming nervous systems to amplifying spiritual connection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We honor the wisdom that humans are the only life that needs constant reminders on how to stay connected\u2014because we are the only ones who often forget.

Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandra Polacheck (Lightheart Woman)&nbsp; is a Reading and English Language Arts Specialist and Master Teacher and Creation Story keeper\/teller. Born of a father with Hopi-Mongolian, Korean, Slavic, and Viking ancestry,&nbsp; Sandra works with at-risk high school students teaching English literacy, Digital Literacy, Cultural Sensitivity, and Technical Career-based job skills. She has broken barriers in education employing Hopi\/Navajo Restorative Justice practices in her classroom to create a peaceful climate and an open dialogue between her many diverse students over the past 28 years. Sandra is a long time member of the International Literacy Association where she served as a member of the ILA\u2019s Children\u2019s and Young Adult Book Awards Committee &#8211; Young Adult Novels (2017-2020). In addition, she has been recognized in \u201cWhos\u2019 Who in America\u201d 2022-2023 and Cambridge\u2019s \u201cWho\u2019s Who in the Globe\u201d 2008-2009 for her work as a distinguished Educator. She is a life-long collector of Creation Stories from around the world. She is also a student who has studied under many tribal Elders over the years including Grandfather Bear Heart (Muskogee-Cree), Grandmother Esther Jackson (Hopi), Grandmother Nanatasis (Abenaki) and has learned Peacekeeper teachings under Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo since 2010. Sandra became an Elder Server in the Arbor in 2009, under the guidance of Fire Keeper Andy Tobey. Born of a mother (Italian, Greek, and West African ancestry) who was an artist, business woman, and pastry chef, Sandra grew up baking and became inspired to learn indigenous cooking when studying corn teachings and visiting the Mitsitam Caf\u00e9 in Washington, D.C. at NAMI, while writing high school English Language Arts curriculum for the United States National Digital Library.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food is Medicine. Food is love. Food is sharing who we are with those we feed to heal and nurture their heart, mind and spirit&#8230;Connecting the people to the land. Participants in the workshop will learn how to make various types of cornbread using modern indigenous cooking methods. Corn is viewed as a gift from the Creator and a symbol of harmony between the people and the land, and the interconnectedness of all living things. We will work with Hopi blue corn meal, Iroquois white corn meal, and Eastern yellow corn meals to prepare cornbread. If there is time, we will make Three Sisters&#8217; Soup, something I learned at&nbsp; Ganondagan, (Seneca) during the annual Veteran&#8217;s Celebration Dance, Music, and Arts Festival. While we cook together, Sandra will share a few of the various Corn Mother and Corn Maiden stories that she has collected from different traditions throughout her travels on Turtle Island and beyond. Participants are welcome to join in the cooking and we will meet in the kitchen.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-7598_192a6c-be .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-7598_192a6c-be .kt-divider{border-top-width:4px;border-top-color:#203000;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-7598_192a6c-be\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column7598_7a9aca-85 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column7598_7a9aca-85 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column7598_7a9aca-85 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column7598_7a9aca-85 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column7598_7a9aca-85 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column7598_7a9aca-85 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column7598_7a9aca-85{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column7598_7a9aca-85 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column7598_7a9aca-85 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column7598_7a9aca-85\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GM-Hears-Crow-2022-256x256-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GM-Hears-Crow-2022-256x256-1.jpg 256w, https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GM-Hears-Crow-2022-256x256-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GM-Hears-Crow-2022-256x256-1-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grandmother Hears Crow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><strong>Weaving the Living Tapestry<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>2:00 pm &#8211;

She is on the faculty alumni at the Transformation Storytelling School. With over 35 years of storytelling experience, she brings Indigenous oral traditions and other cultural stories to life at libraries, schools, community centers, museums, and Indigenous gatherings. Formerly the Director of Strategic Sourcing at Deloitte &amp; Touche, she now dedicates herself full-time to storytelling, blending her business expertise with Indigenous traditions to foster communication, engage communities, and educate through stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In &#8220;Weaving the Living Tapestry,&#8221; Grandmother Hears Crow will share stories that illustrate the importance of attentive listening and how to apply these lessons in our daily lives. Additionally, she will discuss various methods to connect, reconnect, and deepen our relationship with Earth Mother and all our relations. By incorporating simple daily practices, we can learn to see with spirit eyes and hear with spirit ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grandmother Hears Crow (Nootauau Kauk\u00f4ntuah) lives and breathes the traditions of the Narragansett people. As a master storyteller, educator, published poet, and workshop leader, she weaves Longhouse Tales, Native American legends, and Transformational Stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Stories are gateways
