Cihuapactli Collective A COLLABORATIVE SPACE FOR INDIGENOUS WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN TO SHARE WISDOM ABOUT HEALTH & WELLNESS, ANCESTRAL FOODS, PRENATAL, BIRTHING, AND POSTPARTUM

Cihuapactli’s (womens’ medicina) vision is nurtured by Indigenous women and our semillitas as a collaborative effort to share knowledge and wisdom about health & wellness, traditional foods, art & expression, as well as ancestral/traditional prenatal, birthing, postpartum, and womb wellness. We envision un mundo donde quepan muchos mundos, a Zapatista inspired worldview. We understand that the leg

acies of colonialism and patriarchy continuously perpetuate our collective dignity. As such, we ask that each of us be inclusive to all muxeres without judgement. We are composed of women of all ages, stay-at-home mothers, queer families, health educators, youth, activistas, artists, students, doulas, midwives, promotoras, mujeres en academia, and the list continues! We meet via platicas, play dates, workshops and provide safe space for healing as we address the challenges of being Indigena and juggling life!

It takes a village to support a birthing person and their family. It also takes a village to support birth workers and end-of-life workers who serve those families.

All of us can use some help as we’re stepping into our calling and strengthening our skills and knowledge.

If this resonates with you, consider supporting someone on their path of service to our community.

If you’d like to make a contribution that goes toward a scholarship for an individual interested in any of our two upcoming trainings (Sacred Community Birthworker Training or Death Comadre Curriculum), you can donate to our general fund and designate which program it’s for.

No amount is too small and all contributions support the wellbeing of our community. Tlazocamati! 🙏🏽 Gracias! Thank you!

Excited to share pieces by local artist Sharah Nieto! Sharah completed the install of her wheat paste mural on our wall. The mural honors the central role women play in the community as healers, caregivers and vessels to bring life into the world.

Tlazocamati Sharah for your beautiful work! 🥹🙏🏽❤️

A beautiful recap of our 9th Annual Ancestral Womb Wellness Gathering: Our Sacred Duty to Mother Earth 💚

It’s been 3 weeks and we are still walking with the joys of this day sharing space with you all Spaces of Opportunity and ffc_phx 💚

May we continue to walk with the guidance, wisdom and knowledge we received from our very own community.

Thank you again to everyone that made this day happen! We deeply appreciate you!

Shout out to Joel Farias Godinez Jr. for this heartwarming reel. Grateful for the documentation and the memories it reawakens in us! 💛

Our organization is growing. For 10 years, we have offered mostly free services throughout Arizona and beyond. As the political landscape changes, many organizations like ours have had to be creative with our fundraising. So we are turning to you, our community, for help. Being able to count on your monthly donations means we can continue to offer quality, community-focused, consistent programming. We have tiers of contribution starting as low as $7.

There are two ways for you to give.
1) Sign up on Patreon, where your monthly donation gives you access to exclusive content, videos, education, recipes, meditations, and more.

2) For those of you who want a simpler transaction, head to GiveButter, where you can create a recurring donation.

We know that many worthy organizations are making similar requests during this time of year. We appreciate your consideration and your continued support.
