This transformative collection features Indigenous and settler peoples who engaged in years of circle work to unpack how colonialism affects their lives and professional practices. Circle work is an Indigenous methodology of building knowledge and challenging unexamined colonial assumptions. It reveals that de-colonizing isn’t linear; it is an embodied process that unfolds on multiple levels. The practices described in this book centre Indigegogy — a relational, land-based, spirit-centred approach to learning that invites vulnerability, reflexivity, and truth telling. While each person engages from their cultural context and position in society, every contributor shares how pivotal, “holy shit” moments during the experience of circle work have reshaped their ways of being.Guided by circle work, digital storying, and land-based teachings, this is an intimate encounter with Indigenous knowledge and lived accounts of people who chose to wake up, to feel, and to act differently in the world.
