Who

WE

Be

A collective of Black and Queer spiritualists, artists, cultural organizers, and activists, The Wind & The Warrior apply indigenous healing modalities, and place-based cultural arts practices, within movements for transformative justice and spaces of mutual aid.

Our intention is to contribute to the sustainable transformation of our relationship to the Earth through economic and ecological shifts to which we are called to respond with great imagination. Grounded in our Black Feminist and eco-womanist values, we facilitate the healing of intergenerational wounds and relationships.

We do this by centering the most marginalized in communities and at the frontlines, i.e. Indigenous, Black, Brown, LGBTQ+, disabled, and poor peoples. We offer ancestral knowledge and practices; we support movement spaces, activists, and leaders to embrace and embody healing practices and regard them as critical to “the work”; we grow community and movement healers through education and training experiences.
