We Are The Medicine Initiative

​​

This is a call to relearn the ways of our ancestors. To come together and heal in sacred manners, To realize that our bodies are a direct representation of the Divine and are deserving of the highest treatment of love and devotion. And to do so it takes a great deal of inner work to unlearn the ways of oppression. The ways that have beaten people into submission in putting what we can produce before who we are. The ways that have imprinted the mutilation of our bodies through drugs and chemically contaminated food and skin care. The ways of destroying our relationships and sense of self worth. Again, this is a call to relearn the ways of those who came before, to reclaim our selves. This is a radical call for freedom.

​

For those who answer we are putting together a series of workshops and ceremonies designed to not just provide healing but to educate people on how to heal themselves and their families. The intention with We Are The Medicine is to remember our connection with nature through our connection with each other, to bring back the days where our ways of healing was taught parent to child, and looked like joy. 

This is about singing the songs of our ancestors, cooking food that is nourishing to the body, taking part in dance and movement. It is deciding to no longer be ignorant to that which has been poisoning you, and to learn that which will give you life.

 

We have workshops, events, and retreats throughout the year to provide this education throughout the country. We are based in DC and Maryland. We have partners in and travel to Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. We are in a time where the need for reconnection and healing is profound. These workshops are more than just educational experiences—they are pathways to reconnecting with the wisdom of our ancestors. 

 

In communities where disconnection from traditional healing practices has been deeply felt, we aim to restore this knowledge, empowering individuals with tools for self-healing and communal well-being.​We serve to bring sacred medicines to these communities, ensuring accessibility to transformative healing experiences. Beyond providing access, we train participants to administer their own medicine, fostering autonomy and sustainability in their healing journeys.

​

Join us as we honor the sacred traditions and awaken the medicine within us all. Together, we can heal, reconnect, and rise.
