Whether it’s in our bodies, our relationships, our workplaces, our ancestry, our environment, or our broader living community, by sharing authentic narratives, forgotten and remembered practices, and modern insights, our goal is to uncover what healing means here, for all of us, and how it can be a source of inspiration both within this community and beyond it.

This project aims to create a space for understanding healing as a holistic, collective, place- and land-centered process—embracing the body, heart, mind, spirit, and our deep connection to the more-than-human world. It is a platform for us, by us, about us to capture the dreams our community has for the future we want to build together.

Individualism can teach us to seek out (and tell) entertaining and memorable yet inauthentic “hero narratives.” This is the collective fantasy that one singular figure is responsible for profound social change. In this space, we believe true leadership, change, and healing in community come from many voices, actions, and shared efforts. We will never center the story on one person or organization. We won’t solely focus on founders, leaders, or singular authority figures. We are committed to celebrating the collective nature of healing by seeking out a range of voices contributing to a shared dream.
