Outdoor Learning Conference 2026

This session explores the deep connections between identity, food, and land. We invite participants to gather on the land to share food, stories, and presence. Izzeddin will share traditional Palestinian dishes such as hummus, حمص and bread, recipes from his Mother. Jade will share the cakes of her childhood taught to her by her Grandmother. Together we shall eat, around the small fire. Through cooking, conversation, and shared experience, we hope to create a space where culture, belonging, and healing emerge through the stories carried in our foods and in our homelands. Through this shared meal, we reflect on how food carries memory, how stories connect us, and how the land holds space for belonging and care.
