Rooting in Collective Memory: An Afternoon with Las Gurisas
Lorena Rodriguez Lezica
In a world overwhelmed by tragedy and unrest, resilience is being modeled by local changemakers. By sharing their stories and connecting them as one community, we aim to shift dominant narratives and illuminate a new way forward.

Where resilience takes root
Since 2022, the Omega Resilience Awards has empowered more than 100 grassroots changemakers through fellowships and research grants—enhancing the capacity of those who are crafting new ways of living, sharing, and gathering in the face of complex challenges.
OUR COMMUNITY
ORA is brought to life through annual cohorts of fellows and research grantees, alongside a small, dedicated team. We are listeners, makers, and meaning seekers—connected across disciplines, geographies, and lineages. Though our work spans many forms, we are united by a shared commitment to resilience: for humanity and the biosphere.
