This zine delves into the scars left by ecological trauma, colonialism, and disconnection, while celebrating the resilience and beauty found in the natural world and our shared humanity.

Printed in its first edition in honor of Cascadian Yule MMXXIV, Woundscapes is a testament to the power of storytelling as a tool for healing and reconnection.

Join us in wandering the woundscapes of Earth and self—where the darkness speaks, the ancestors whisper, and the seeds of renewal await.
