Education

From workshops to creative collaborations, reading guides to restorative practices—we partner with students, faculty, staff, and Northwestern community members to make learning come alive.

We help connect campus to the wider Chicago area through place-based practices that honor people, land, and story.

We meet people where they are. Whether you're planning a program, leading a discussion, or curious about what’s possible—we can support, partner, or co-create with you.
