The Ripple Effect of Generosity in Communities Near and FarHello Reader, In light of the heaviness many of us are navigating in these times of unrest, I wanted to offer a look at how OTEPIC, (The Organic Technology Extension and Promotion of Initiative Centre), is enabling many in Kitale, Kenya to symbiotically heal their relationship with the land, through healing their relationships with each other. This year, ERE was able to “uplift through gift”, OTEPIC, which has provided a reforestation workshop, and much more, that has impacted the community in a myriad of ways. Some of the direct and immediate benefits from the reforestation workshop were:
Recently, ERE's Executive Director, Carlin, was able to meet with Philip Munyasia, founder of the organization, in Portugal where she received a huge “thank you” from the OTEPIC Community with the wish that it be brought back here to be shared amongst our Community. With this gift OTEPIC was also able to hire 3 additional full-time staff to help run their community farm which provides food to families, elders and youth who would otherwise not have access to healthy produce. This is the magic of gift and relationship. We believe in the power of gift and how generosity of spirit moves healing through communities. Returning money to the commons is one of ERE’s core values. Your financial contribution to participate in our offerings are seeds being sown into the past, present, and future. Because after ERE’s costs are covered, all post- production funds are gifted to projects like OTEPIC, here on Turtle Island and globally. Thank you for being a part of our commitment to healing the flow of money and for joining us in seeding healed futures. 2024 OfferingsWith unrest comes a commitment to healing individually and collectively and we are excited to be able to host and offer space for this to happen somatically and communally. February 2024 marks the beginning of Communal Consultations for Bodies of Culture, White Bodies and White Perceived Bodies of Culture. These spaces are open to all, and we are so excited to be with you!
