Registration for our the Introductory Workshop Participatory Action Research for Epistemic Rebels is open!
What is PAR?
PAR is a decolonized approach to research which works with communities and marginal groups to create action and change based on their deep knowledge and capacity for analysis.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is open to all but will be geared toward those with academic backgrounds and previous research experience, especially those epistemic rebels on university and college campuses who want their research to contribute directly to liberation and social change. (Watch this space for additional PAR workshops for community-based practitioners and movement organizers in 2025!)
When is the workshop?
Date: October 30th to November 3rd, 2024
Where is the workshop?
We are going to have the workshop at the beautiful Alnoba in Kensington, NH
Our partners at Sequoia Samanvaya offer this foundational online course a few times a year. Several core people from Rē have participated in these courses and highly recommend this work. Join them for the upcoming informational webinar!

In Grief
We are sorry to share the loss of one of a powerful elder, Marie Cirillo. Many of us have learned so much from her over the years.
Marie Cirillo was a former nun and worked at the the Student Health Coalition (SHC) Advisory Council. She dedicated most of her life to the people and trees and spirit in the Appalacian mountains. She has passed away at the age of 94. Marie is an iconic and treasured member of the SHC and a key player in the Clearforlk Valley. To learn more about Marie’s incredible work, please go to this website.
