RAD Storytelling
RAD Voices
This short film features Indigenous voices from coast-to-coast-to-coast sharing their stories and perspectives at the RAD Network’s Spring 2023 gathering, “Envisioning the Indigenous-led Conservation Economy”. Watch the video for a glimpse of the gathering and hear from some of the diverse but aligned voices that are coming together to create our emerging network.

Full Moon Network Gatherings
Throughout 2023, the RAD Network hosted monthly, virtual Full Moon Network Gatherings to deepen relationships, learn from one another and envision pathways forward. We came together around the time of the full moon to connect and reflect on one question or theme.
Our first Full Moon Network Gathering focused on Ethical Space (see video below), followed by others focused on core themes like Spirit and Ceremony. Building on these foundational conversations, later gatherings addressed questions such as, “how will we turn our vision into action together?”.
After each gathering, we shared recordings, key learnings and summary notes in our newsletter. For a recap of previous Full Moon Gatherings, check out our newsletter archive and YouTube recordings. (Recordings include opening words, songs and presentations, but we do not record breakout discussions in order to foster a safe space for dialogue.)
