🌿 The Season Changes — and So Do We
As the environment shifts and the days grow shorter, many Indigenous communities observe this time as one of rest, remembrance, and renewal. In this educational session, the Shanenawá community shares how seasonal transitions are marked through rituals, rhythms, and reflections that align with the natural world.
Participants will learn about traditional practices that honor balance, prepare for the months ahead, and strengthen community bonds through intentional change.

How seasonal cycles are observed in Shanenawá culture
The role of rituals in supporting reflection, gratitude, and preparation
Examples of non-ceremonial seasonal practices (gathering, storytelling, rest)

The importance of honoring change as part of living in rhythm with nature
