Kiowa writer and poet N. Scott Momaday spoke into our humanness that “[w]e are what we imagine. Our very existence consists in our imagination of ourselves. Our best destiny is to imagine, at least, completely, who and what, and that we are.” Drawing from that wisdom, in this key note space, we will engage in a practice of (re) rooting – a form of (re) imagining – our power as a collective endeavor of who and what and that we are: as interdependent, as Being-centered, as a species that thrives when we are attending to ourselves and one another in a Good Way. In a world that can often feel like a relinquishing, a forgetting, of the power of the collective, for this keynote time, we will engage in a ritual of remembering – with acknowledgement to Potowatami author and botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer – of all the ways in which we embody “I Am because We Are” as a story of our collective power.
