This comes up over and over again and it’s important for us all to remember.

Do you want to be a part of something big? Do you want to be a part of changing the lives of indigenous people? We have a group of 25 indigenous folx who will b...e walking through 13 months together to (re)learn (re)claim (re)awaken the knowledge around reproductive health through an indigenous lens and wrapped around in ceremony. This mentorship will be fully supported and mentored by indigenous birthworkers, knowledge keepers and elders. We need your support!!! The group has committed to this journey and using the knowledge in a good way to improve the lives of our people and the health of our communities. Many of the mentees are being lovingly supported and encouraged by their communities, places of work, or supporting organizations to cover their costs. However, some are also paying out of pocket, travelling distances or taking time off of work to make sure they can attend the gatherings and ceremonies. If you have walked this life, you know what commitment to ceremony looks like. We are looking for donations for our journey- either sponsorship of an indigenous person to attend which the funds are used to support the time given by elders, knowledge keepers, guest speakers, protocol and gifts. We will use extra funds for offsetting costs for the mentees' travel, accomodation, extra workshops and ceremony attendence, etc. If you are wanting to be a part of this beautiful journey, please consider donating a monetary gift, sponsoring a spot, or donating some kick ass swag for our mentees and our teachers. We will also be having gifts for our mentees as the start and walk on this journey, so if you have a place of business, WE would love to test YOUR products out and share your amazing products with our families. Conditions are in place for businesses that qualify, such as WHO Code Compliant, Cultural & Gender Inclusivity, Environmentally Friendly. Please contact us for more info. {Disclaimer: We are a grassroots organization and can provide a receipt or payment, but we are NOT a registered charity so the receipt may not result in a tax break, if you are donating solely for that purpose.} QUESTIONS?
