A queer, white, able-bodied woman in her 40's from a mixed middle/working class background, Darcy's work focuses on: supporting white people and others with privilege in dismantling systems of oppression internally and externally; building resilient networks of relationships across lines of difference; and building community capacity for meaningful acts of redistribution, reparations, and rematriation with People of the Global Majority.Rites of Passage have been part of Darcy's life since her coming of age journey when she was 13. The descendant of early Quaker settlers, British coal miners, and Ukrainian peasants, her early encounters with nature and ceremony instilled in her a deep sense of belonging and connection with the more-than-human world. Her formal and informal education brought understanding of the colonized and colonizing contexts of these experiences. Synthesizing these realities is the core of Darcy's work, from guiding multi-day wilderness excursions for youth to teaching courses and workshops in person and online.Darcy loves dancing (especially under the full moon), learning to make Slavic folks dolls, and preserving food and plant medicines. She makes her home along the Methow River in Okanogan County, Washington, the stolen land of the Mətxʷú people. Rites and Responsibilities: A Guide to Growing Up is her first book.показать меньше
