What does it look like when we reimagine learning separate from the structure of ‘school’? When we admit that schooling is more about normalizing dominant culture than it is about seeing the children for their uniqueness, we can begin to reimagine the structures and containers of learning that serve more Beloved Futures. 

From Chevanni Davids, my dear friend and founder of Reimagined Learning:
“Our times have normalized the compartmentalization and the siloing in people, thoughts, and practices. We live in a world overwhelmed by isolation and scarcity. This is an existence we refuse to live by. The time for Re-imagining is rife, We need one another more than ever. The way we  learn, live and commune is where it all begins. 

Reimagined learning is a community of Activists, Makers, Farmers, Healers, Rebels, Gamers, Hackers, Poets, Singers, Dancers, Painters, Researchers. Who is doing some MAD QUESTION ASKING...As to our times, specifically how we are learning and why we learn, realizing that learning was never mainstream but multiple streams and rivers that flow to and through a multiverse of experiences re-and context. We aim to support education that is rooted in restoring, healing, and Reimagining Life as we know it.”

Dr. Zachari Cahn has been a dear friend and brother of mine for just about 3 decades. We met as young adults and have continued and deepened our friendship across space and time. A highly accomplished functional medicine doctor, he is also deeply committed to men’s work through the Mankind Project and holistic healing of relationships through counseling and coaching that brings together wellness modalities for body, mind and spirit. 

Zachari and his wife Tatiana (an equally accomplished and skilled healer) hold Masters degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, the top rated accredited Chinese Medical School in the US and Doctorates from the Pacific College of Health & Sciences.  With over 6 years of training and 20 years practicing researched based natural compounds, acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, massage, western clinical diagnosis and pharmacology (drug/herb interaction), they are among premiere providers of alternative healthcare in Asheville. 

But perhaps their greatest accomplishment of all is a thriving, juicy, fulfilling marriage that is a life long work in progress, full of lessons and gifts… and their three beautiful young daughters. 

In this vulnerable and powerful conversation, we dive into the countless miracles that had to occur for us to even use words in the first place, the healing potential when having difficult conversations with our loved ones, the potency of deep listening and how, what Zachari calls, ‘life-giving interpretations’ can shift your mindset and heal the adversaries within, bringing freedom and joy into your life and your relationships.

Justine Kiva Epstein is an organizer, facilitator, writer, naturalist, tracker, rites of passage guide, ad-hoc ritualist, council carrier, and bird enthusiast attending to the cry of the earth and people for ancestral healing, cultural renewal and systemic reimagination. In her own words...

"I am descended from an expansive mix of peoples from the European continent, most prominently the British Isles, Ireland and Germany, as well as Lithuania and Russia of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage. My ancestors crossed the Atlantic in many waves and due to many different circumstances over the past ~400 years. I am very much still in the process of uncovering the individual and collective stories of my people, both before their passages and after, and how their lives and legacies shape the world and my place within it. 

I live with an enduring sense of responsibility to uncover and acknowledge the truth of my ancestors’ lives and actions and the larger narratives and ideologies of racialized capitalism and dominance that they lived within, and in some cases built — and to do what I can with my time here on earth to reckon, grieve, heal and transform those legacies into something more humane, whole, and just.

My deep longing for justice and the dream of a world of balance and regeneration have guided me to ask what is mine to do in service to healing, liberation and repair for myself and my people? I have found that the most meaningful and impactful work I can do is to turn towards my ancestors and the money I have inherited in their names, and begin to uncover their stories, and release that unjustly accumulated wealth into the communities most directly harmed by its creation.

Over the past few years organizing with Resource Generation I have begun to redistribute my own inherited wealth and mobilize other people with
wealth and class privilege to join me. I am currently redistributing 50% of what I have access to and am working to increase my giving in the
coming years while organizing my family and extended family towards reparative action and right-relationship with money, land and power." (Bio from https://www.morganhcurtis.com)
