We completed our first cohort of Healing Ourselves in November 2024, a healing retreat designed for BIPOC and BIPOC-led. Stay tuned for future cohort announcements. Whether you’re taking the first steps towards understanding racial equity and BIPOC-led healing or seeking to deepen your commitment to anti-racism and decolonization, our workshops offer a space for learning, growth, healing, community, and transformative action.
Title Track is committed to positively impact the experiences of all people in Michigan and understands a focus on racial equity is imperative. As we approach our fifth anniversary on Earth Day 2024, we will be sharing updates on our racial equity programming this coming week highlighting a different program each day.
We’re thrilled to welcome author, activist, playwright and teacher, Maryann Lesert, to State of Water. Maryann’s new novel, Land Marks, will be published on April 16 and is the culmination of more than 2 years of research where she visited all of the fracking sites across Michigan.
Tune in to the new State of Water as we talk to Tom Grotewohl of Protect the Porkies, who are organizing against the development of the Copperwood Mine in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Join the effort and learn about some important, time-sensitive calls to action!
For the occasion of Women’s History Month, Title Track wishes to give our deepest gratitude and love to Sally Van Vleck. Not only is Sally the cofounder of our parent organization (the Neahtawanta Research and Education Center) and a founding board member of Title Track, but she is a singular hero who has been a touchstone and a guiding light to us as an activist, organizer, healer, daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and now great-grandmother.
Check out this wonderful conversation with Araya Montero of Two Hearted Midwifery in the new State of Water episode. Araya shares reflections on her deep connection with Lake Superior, how she chose to pursue the path of midwifery, and the power and presence of water throughout the birthing process.
Join us on Saturday, March 23 at the Ark in Ann Arbor for Sing for Mother Earth – a concert featuring Native American Music Award winners Keith Secola and Annie Humphrey, Joe Reilly and the Community Gardeners, and the All Nations Dancers.
Many thanks to author Maryann Lesert for her generous support of Title Track! Pre-order Lesert’s new novel, “Land Marks” on Bookshop.org during the month of March and all proceeds will be donated to Title Track.
