Unlearning Systems

We are living in an age of consequence — a time marked by cascading ecological collapse, spiritual disorientation, and systemic violence rooted in the logics of capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, militarism, hetero-normativity, white supremacy and other ideological separations from the living world.


Cactus Collective is an online platform for unlearning these dominant systems and re-weaving our relationship with the animate cosmos. We are a community who are heeding the call to be more contextually informed, relationally attuned and rooted in life-affirming alternatives in a time of breakdown, chaos and renewal.


We center the wisdom of Indigenous knowledge keepers, lineage holders, social movement leaders, frontline organizers, politically-informed healers, and post capitalist thinkers. Through embodied, trauma-informed, ceremonial and relational approaches, we nurture the deep shifts needed to move from separation to reconnection, extraction to regeneration and oppression to collective liberation.
