Sarita Doe, neé Sarah Dougherty, born 1983
I am a queer Celtic~Bolivian Earthworker, parent, painter, author, and educator living in occupied Ohlone Lands. I paint stories, regenerate habitat, and cocreate pedagogy in service to global movements for Indigenous sovereignty and planetary liberation.
My painting practice has moved from oils to natural pigment and gouache. I sit in offering and witness to the relationships held in place to learn more about where I am. I love collaborating with ecosystems, elders, youth, and movements to help them express their medicine through ideation and illustration.
As a School for the Ecocene cooperative worker-owner, I love supporting planetary scholars in creating their own cohort-guided learning programs in a DIY PhD.
Our consulting, mentorship, and curricula supports change-makers in connecting to Earth Medicine, mapping their wildest dreams, and bringing their project ideation into reality.
The Ecocene is our era for the Earth, rooted within ancestral practices of living as a reciprocal ecosystem. The Ecocene is real, emergent, and imagined in the face of late-stage capitalism, fossil fueled wars, and environmental devastation. We are the ones we have been waiting for.
