From June 5th to June 11th, we will be hosting our 2026 social ecology summer intensive course in partnership with the Native Roots Network at their Wenem To•s landbase in Shasta County, just outside Redding, California. Our summer intensive courses are week-long in-person, in-depth programs in which participants dive headfirst into the ideas and practices of social ecology: grassroots organizing, direct democracy, and revolutionary social transformation. This year's theme is Restoring Right Relations: Indigenous Social Ecology and Land-Based Pathways to Liberation. We'll explore the complexities of tribal politics, neighborhood organizing, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, dual power, and much more, and come away with lasting relationships. Whether you are a budding activist entirely new to social ecology and the revolutionary left tradition, or are arriving a veteran movement intellectual, we have crafted this gathering with you in mind.

There are many more details to come regarding specific programming content, schedule, and housing. (Note: when registering, please leave ticked the box reading "Allow the Institute for Social Ecology to contact me." This is necessary for you to receive essential updates about the event.)

Low-cost indoor housing is available though limited, along with free camping for all participants. Registration covers all meals. We plan to organize airport and bus station pick-ups for those arriving in Redding by air travel or public transportation. Invite your friends and comrades, and we hope you can join us!
