Tepeyac Mountain Sanctuary co-creates spaces where activists, artists, healers, warriors, builders, growers, and visionaries at the frontlines of resisting and surviving colonization can come together to rest, reflect, listen, learn, manifest, honor, and deepen our liberation practices.
Our Work
We work at the intersection of social justice movement work and an understanding of the impacts of personal, collective and ancestral trauma on our bodies, spirits, relationships, and collective imaginations. We believe in the value of being in communities of practice where we can be supported in our healing practices while also deepening our understanding of principled struggle.
We are bringing together our network of healers, facilitators, cultural workers, and spiritual practitioners and creating powerful spaces for people to rest, reflect, connect, practice and learn together what it means to be in right relationship with ourselves, with each other, with the Land, and with the ways we move towards liberation.
Here are some examples of what we are doing:
- City of Asheville Climate Justice Initiative: Bridging BIPOC leaders and organizers with the City of Asheville in mapping climate vulnerability zones, defining climate justice strategies, and building equity capacity among city staff.
- Land Project Learning Circles: Gathering land project founders across NC to build capacity around land acquisition and stewardship, organizational structures, funding models, disaster resilience hubs, and more.
- Healing from Helene Children’s Library: Distributing children’s library sets of trauma-informed, bilingual, and BIPOC centered books into our communities and classrooms to support families impacted by the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
- Healing from Helene Story Circles: Bringing therapists, cultural workers, and trauma-informed facilitators together to hold space for community through storytelling, somatics, and art therapy.
- Día de los Muertos Care Packages: Delivering Day of the Dead kits with candy, led candles, marigold craft supplies, and pan de muerto for families to have supplies to honor their ancestors
Please support us in deepening our community of practice and building sanctuary spaces that are created by us for us!
