Sarita

Sarita Doe is a parent, steward, artist, educator and student of the Ecocene, born on Houma lands to a Cajun-Celtic Father and Andean-American Mother, and raised in Richmond, Virginia, land of the Monacan people and Powhatan River. 

Punk rock and being of more than one culture nurtured her practice of echo-location, or finding herself in relation to the beings and stories of a place. She collaborates with habitats and communities to paint movement maps, activate dream visions, and rebalance within Empire for planetary liberation.

She is a student of native ecosystems, Queen Hollins of the Earthlodge for Spiritual Transformation, Olivia Chumacero of Everything is Medicine, the Run4Salmon, and Lidagat Luna, her and champoy’s 8-year-old child and healer.

Sarita is a cofounder of the DIY PhD to legitimize learning in body, mind, spirit, emotion and habitat for our deep callings and fulfillment in this life. She is a cofounding steward with School for the Ecocene Cooperative for nurturing ecopedagogías and pathways of repair as a planet.

She has taught ages 7 to 77 for over twenty years with a background in Critical Pedagogy, BA in Latin American Studios, and MFA in Painting. Her paintings have been published and exhibited widely. She is currently cultivating habitat, living cosmologies, and play with pamilya in Huchiun, Ohlone Lands. In 2020 she published Textbook for the Ecocene with Co-Conspirator Press at the Feminist Center for Creative Work.

Sarita offers mentorship and consulting in the areas of Earth medicine, Earth-centered education, habitat stewardship, autoethnography, book creation, art practice, Earth business generation for autonomous income, and emotional-spiritual wellness with peer counseling.
