**Recognizing the urgent need for accessible resources and healing spaces, we are embarking on a fundraising initiative to create a community center and sustainable support system hub that will serve as the heart of "Plant Family: IHEAL."** 

**This center will provide a dedicated space to:**

- **Cultivation:** Grow medicinal and food plants.
- **Learning:** Intergenerational classes and elder teachings.
- **Healing:** A vibrant cultural healing center.
- **Resources:** Access to vital support systems.
- **Marketplace:** Support local artisans and sell handmade goods.
- **Project Space:** Free space for personal and community initiatives.
- **Community:** A safe and supportive environment to connect, heal, and thrive.



*Plant Family: IHEAL" addresses critical health and ecological challenges faced by many tribes by nurturing the profound relationship between Indigenous medicine and ecology. Through Plant Family songs and cohort building, art, expression, and healing, the project will revitalize vital cultural practices and contribute to the holistic well-being of the community, fostering a strong sense of identity, unity, and responsible stewardship for generations to come.* 



Cultural Community Healing Hub Center & Land

An organization focused on Arts, Culture, Equity, Accessibility, Ecology and Restoration. Received our nonprofit status in 2022.

We are Heartful Rootz, an accessible, inclusive QT2S (Queer, Trans, Two-Spirit) -BIPGM (Black, Indigenous and People of the Global Majority) creative wellness community dedicated to overcoming injustice, cultivating unity, equity, and evolution. Since our initial roots in makers markets, we have since evolved to nurturing a Calpulli group that is Queer, Trans, Two-Spirit lead, facilitating cultural recovery and collective healing. Additionally, we are initiating digital collaboration projects, including "Plant Family".

Our commitment revolves around providing radically progressive support for all members, whether makers, farmers, artists, staff, or volunteers, who align with our shared journey towards collective liberation.

At the core of our philosophy is the understanding that the deepest act of love for one another starts with the HEART; the essence that drives us to dismantle the impacts of colonialism and imperialism, enabling us to reclaim our roles as nurturers and guardians of this earth.

We strive to authentically engage with our communities, fostering safe, affirming, and supportive networks that encourage growth, renewal, and revival. Beginning in the Seattle metro area, we aim to expand these transformative efforts throughout Washington state and beyond the west coast.

While our initial focus centers on supporting QT2S BIPGM-led businesses and collaborations, our vision extends towards reclamation - reclaiming our languages, cultures, medicines, and traditions to reconnect with our roots, communities, and the land. This journey is vital for the revitalization of Black and Indigenous communities and the global community as a whole.

In our pursuit of holistic health and wellness for QT2S BIPGM communities, we acknowledge and confront the systemic obstacles posed by racism and white supremacy. Our organization is dedicated to creating a nurturing environment that facilitates reclamation, renewal, and reconciliation, leading to collective liberation of the mind, body, and spirit.

Furthermore, we envision growth through empowering QT2S BIPGM youth with creative and entrepreneurship classes, with a focus on mentorships and internships, particularly tailored for Black and Native foster youth. Our collaborations with farmers and herbalists aim to establish food sovereignty, native horticultural development, and sustainable agriculture, creating safe and nurturing spaces for growth, collaboration, healing, and the rediscovery of our cultural heritage.

Our mission at Heartful Rootz is to uplift QT2S BIPGM communities towards resilience, cultural reconnection, and virtuous living, as we strive for unity, empowerment, collective well-being.
