As an opening to the 2024 San Juan Islands Agricultural Summit, OCPA and SOURCE paper are excited to announce an evening of FILM AND COMMUNITY CONVERSATION with Lummi Nation based production company, Children of the Setting Sun Productions (CSSP), and Spirit Farm from Navajo Nation. All are welcome to join!
The evening will begin with a welcoming from Lummi Tribal members, followed by two short films that share perspectives and practices that nourish communities and honor Indigenous ways of knowing: “Our Sacred Obligation” by CSSP and “Spirit Farm” by Thriving Communities. Following the films there will be a Q+A dialogue with CSSP and Spirit Farm crew members.
Before the evening's events, Farm to Ferry food truck will be cooking up delicious local fare in the lot adjacent to the theater. Come early to support our local farmers and food truck!
In addition, an “Offering Table” will be available at the screening for the community to contribute food and/or gifts, which will be distributed to the honored speakers from the film screening and the Traditional Foodways workshop being held at the SJI Ag Summit on Friday, March 8th. This is a beautiful chance to show gratitude through gifting. We thank you.
*$10+ suggested, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Thanks to the generosity of community sponsors, all ticket proceeds and donations will go directly to the speakers.
With Gratitude,
SOURCE paper + OCPA

Thank you for your interest in submitting to
THE LEAPING FOOL Winter Writers Series!
The theme for the first of our series is GOOD WORK
We are asking writers to share existing or newly cultivated work that intersects with the three spheres of skill, energy, and spiritual understanding. Take it literally or don’t. Step back further and find the extraordinary in the ordinary. How does spirit, skill and focus show up when enacted? Inspired by the first and last card of the Tarot, we invite you to explore with humility. All forms of writing are accepted for submission.
We are grateful to all with the willingness to share. We look forward to hearing from you.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS NOVEMBER 1st
