    Origins

    Hello, I’m Maria Vamvalis. Anayennisi grew out of lived inquiry, my doctoral research in holistic climate justice education, and collective wisdom. It is grounded in more than two decades of work in teaching, curriculum design, facilitation, and international collaboration. I advance regenerative action and practices by rooting learning in connection, compassion, and responsibility.

    Wisdom

    Anayennisi supports a mycelial network of individuals, collectives, and organizations orienting toward regenerative pathways in times of great reckoning. To tend to this field, I share insights, resources and stories through the Collective Weaving newsletter.

I acknowledge the traditional territories of the Michi Saagiig Anishinaabeg, covered by the Williams Treaties, and affirm the enduring sovereignty of Indigenous peoples.

With gratitude and respect, I commit to responsible relationships of reciprocity as part of regenerating more just and life-affirming futures on these Lands and beyond. Honouring treaties is foundational for enacting climate justice.
