In this workshop, Inuk climate emotion researcher, Diane Obed, invites participants into a space of inquiry that honors Indigenous paradigms of relationality, where emotions are not pathologies to fix, but relational feedback mechanisms from the lands, waters, skies, kinfolk, we are entangled with.
Together, we’ll explore:
What shifts when we treat climate grief and fear not as dysfunction, but as relational intelligence?
How Indigenous land-based worldviews metabolize emotion through kinship, ceremony, and responsibility.
Expect reflection, dialogue, and gentle embodied practices, not as solutions, but as invitations to listen differently to what moves through us when the land speaks.
Speaker: Diane Obed is an Inuk woman mixed with English ancestry, originally from Hopedale, Nunatsiavut, Labrador. She currently lives in Nalikitquniejk– “place of torn branches” in Mi’kma’ki, in the territory of Peace and Friendship Treaties, also known as Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
Diane is currently studying in the Inter-University Educational Foundations PhD program at Mount Saint Vincent University. Her doctoral research project explores the intersections between Indigenous land education and contemplative studies to draw on ancient wisdom for modern day psycho-social issues such as cultivating courage to be able to face and engage in dialogue about the current climate crisis.
