Becoming a Good Relative with Hilary Giovale

Join the next Resilience and Possibility in These Times for a conversation with Hilary Giovale, author of Becoming a Good Relative: Calling White Settlers toward Truth, Healing, and Repair. Hilary brings rare clarity and humility to the spiritual and strategic journey of repair and reckoning with the harmful legacies of colonialism. With skill and grace, she models how we can choose truth-telling over denial, accountability over paralysis, and generative grief over shame.

She speaks to the grief many feel in the journey to truly understand and heal the legacies and erasures that have shaped us. Facing ancestral history can open pathways toward healing and collective liberation—supporting Indigenous leadership, repairing harm, and reclaiming an embodied sense of belonging within one’s own lineage, without appropriation.

At a time when social fractures run deep, she reminds us that a sustainable, just, and thriving future will be created in deep relationship with our own lineages, with the land, and with one another. Most importantly, it will be forged in the responsibility that comes from being alive and awake in these times.

This conversation will invite us to examine colonial history with depth, honesty and equanimity so we can transform these harmful legacies into a sacred responsibility for the flourishing of Life and a future that works for all.

We hope you’ll join us for this important and exciting conversation.
