14 SET 2024 · Welcome to this conversation between Co-founder, Layel Camargo, Wellness Practitioner, Erica Gibbons & Artist in Residence and Somatic Scribber Kate Morales, of Shelterwood Collective. We Rise is honored to be in community with Shelterwood, a queer, trans, black, indigenous, people of color-led land stewardship project located on unceded Kashia and Southern Pomo territory in so-called Cazadero, California.
In their 3 years of stewarding the 878 acre forest, the Shelterwood community has weathered wildfire, atmospheric flooding, the strains of the nonprofit industrial complex, and relationship tensions as they discover how to be in right relationship with themselves, one another, local indigenous tribe and the land to bring this project into sustainable being for future generations.
Kate, Layel & Erica offer us a generous deep dive into how Shelterwood is practicing and experimenting with a common thread in our communities: navigating triggers, tensions, & healing while trying to build the next world we want to live in. Shelterwood lets us into their process in hopes of continuing to illuminate an arduous but worthwhile journey.

17 LUG 2024 · Diasporic Care: We Show Up for Each Other
Welcome to Part 1 of 2 of this live recording from our Crosspollination community block party series. This event took place on June 8th, 2024. This episode features our opening prayer* with https://www.wellnesspromoters.net/, & the beginning of our speakers panel, featuring the brilliant hearts & minds of:
Sarah O'Neal, https://sarahadbiboneal.com/ABOUT
Lubna Morrar, https://palestinianfeministcollective.org/

Mansi, https://www.asata.org/

*for the opening prayer, we invite you to gather a sprig of rosemary if you're able. if not & you have access to another plant or special object, we encourage you to get it so you can follow Uzo's guidance as you listen
What we get into throughout these two episodes:
How do we take care of us? What practices sustain us in these challenging times?What wisdoms are we drawing from to strengthen each other & our movements? How are we engaging in a diversity of tactics? For many of us, as we show up for each other here in Huchiun, we are also caring for our communities in our motherlands. We know all land is connected, all waters are connected. Like seeds, we know the power of diaspora, the potency of biodiversity to nourish & create liberatory ecosystems, never forgetting where we come from. From Huchiun to Palestine, from the Philippines to Mexico, we honor our interconnectedness across borders.
Gratitude to We Rise Advisor, teaching artist & theater worker Tierra Allen for MCing this event.

31 MAG 2024 · Join Layla K. Feghali of River Rose Remembrance & Iman Labanieh of Baylasan Botanicals for a timely conversation about Layla's newly released book, https://www.riverroseremembrance.com/book-page. Highlighting lineages of herbal resilience, diasporic stewardship, and unraveling the rippling impacts of colonial violence on our earth and communities, this book about people and traditions of the Levant offers relevant fodder to grapple with the dire times we are in.
As organizers and herbalists with roots in Lebanon & Syria, the ongoing genocide in Gaza has been particularly heavy on our hearts and minds. Many of us have shifted our practices to respond to the needs of this moment including organizing, fundraising, and providing political education. It is our hope that this conversation will provide generative insight into more practical wisdom for action in our local and care-taking communities — for Palestine and beyond.

30 MAG 2024 · https://www.weriseproduction.com/crosspollination is a block party series created by We Rise Production with the purpose of strengthening and deepening existing connections and initiating new ones, after the changing culture and community landscape Oakland experienced in years of social distancing and pandemic.
Our themes will deepen into an exploration of how WE TAKE CARE OF US. We Take Care of Us is a phrase that comes out of BIPOC-led community spaces dedicated to the practice of mutual aid & abolition as a strategy for long-term collective wellbeing. We use this phrase intentionally to lift up & carry forward this invitation in our own communities as we crosspollinate.
We use the word “emergent” – in part drawing on adrienne maree brown’s https://www.akpress.org/emergentstrategy.html – to signify that these organizations’ work reflects a vision they are each stewarding of collective liberation.
We Rise is committed to offering free education and raising awareness on important community work and causes through live events and cultural production. This series of seasonal intercommunity block parties will cultivate cross-pollination of intergenerational and intersectional identities coming together to learn about & support social justice, community safety, local businesses, & celebrate our artistic abundance.

TRANSCRIPT coming soon!
29 AGO 2023 · Born and raised in the Bay, Iranian-American singer-songwriter Adrienne Shamszad hops on the mic and shares her voice with We Rise listeners, debuting her first full-length album in 15 years: Wash It All Away!
Adrienne's music is dedicated to our collective liberation - and is an intimate incantation of her heart. Equal parts silly and heartfelt, Cat and Adrienne get into it on this episode of the We Rise podcast, and share some new jams from Wash It All Away, both live (and spontaneous!) and from the album.
From Adrienne:
"The creation of this album has been a process of making peace with myself, and embracing the life I have now. It is allowing me to let go of a lot that has been holding me back, and grieve the loss of what the passage of time takes from all of us. A beautiful outcome of this transformation is that I have found a way to make use of the old dreams that never bloomed; they have become compost for the new dreams that are thriving.
It is also my life story. The story of longing for true connection, falling in love, catching glimpses of God, and it’s a story of surrender. I hope hope hope these songs will resonate with YOU."
