Stewardship in a Time of Exponential (Psychedelic) Growth
Panel Abstract In this panel a new generation of stewards come together to explore, share and envision an ethical community based future where reciprocity and kind awareness are key qualities of the psychedelic and plant medicines paradigm. “What can we learn from Indigenous stewardship?’ It does not seek to reduce the labour of earthwork; it is by tending the lands that we come into Right Relation. Indigenous stewardship requires getting more people out on the land. And for us this is a good thing. Earthwork gives our people the opportunity to heal from the traumas of colonialism by engaging the land in ceremony and in community; this is how they pass on their land-based teachings to future generations. “What does stewardship look like in our lives today?” This question must be asked to evaluate where our mindset is. Stewardship is being responsible for the things that our planet has given us.
To help build a framework, we will begin unpacking this idea of stewardship through four important universal principles. 1. The principle of ownership. 2. The principle of responsibility 3. The principle of accountability 4. The principle of reward.
