Abstract
This chapter explores the concept of forest bathing and a “cripped” walking pedagogy immersed in a disability justice lens as a strategy for revolutionary prep and community building with youth from an urban center. Mixing personal reflections from childhood and with nature, the author weaves this with a reflection on a day-long artistic exploration on the Bruce Trail, in Ontario, on Northern Turtle Island with youth from Lawrence Heights in T’karon:to. This chapter considers the radical possibilities of sharing drawing practice with environmental knowledge to ensure the next generation survives any future changes or revolutions.Keywords
