Jazmeen will be facilitating a space for us to reimagine the interactions we have with the reality building entities we share the world with - invertebrates, bugs, insects...and through this, to reimagine co-opted relationship we have with the ecosystems we are a part of, and the land we exist within.
We are sold, fed and filled with perceptions, ideas and behaviours of the land we are part of, the ecosystems around us, and the human and non-human organisms that live with us.
The smallest of the small can be the fractures in these toxic structures...they can show us the cracks in the systems built to keep us in, and guide us through divesting, dismantling and building futures with their othered bodies.
Through creativity, criticality and unravelling, perhaps we can unearth a love or respect we already have hidden away for these ecosystem builders, and use it to gather autonomy.
Jazmeen Isa Qureshi (they/she), is an interdisciplinary ecologist, social scientist, marine biologist, journalist, writer, systems thinker, advisor/consultant, experienced facilitator, researcher, poet and lover of bugs, she is studying a PhD at the Global Sustainability Institute at ARU. Her research (and a core of all her other work) centres "Queering Ecology"; working within decolonising / dismantling / reimagining / anti-oppression frameworks in conservation and ecology, and understanding a variety of ancestral teachings/storytelling mechanisms on ecology and queer theory, and her own work "Queering" Ecology (workshops, creativity, etc.).
She has worked with hundreds of organisations, institutions and collectives across the country, including Force of Nature, RSPB England, and Unearthodox. They draw on their muslim, trans, non-binary, dyke form, mind and existence; gathering, speaking and dismantling where they can, and escaping where possible.

Nervines are herbs used to soothe or repair the nervous system. But what differentiates them?
In this session, a blind tea tasting will allow participants to discover creatively how a herb makes them feel, without knowing what the herb is.
We will then learn about the traditional and biomedical uses of these herbs, and go around the farm to meet a range of nervines growing around us.
