Why Lachiwana?
Lachiwana is a 501c(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to disseminate resources and information about creating comprehensive community-led ecological care to those impacted by systemic exclusion and invalidation.
We prioritize the experiences of people who are most marginalized by the oppressions of white supremacy, racism, poverty, transphobia, ableism, and restrictive policies. We catch people through the cracks of the medical, the capital, and the political system.

Programs
Embodiment Autonomy
We honor and support cultural practices for a healthier society by gathering people in time-immemorial practices, body workshops, harvesting and/or cultivating food relationships, somatic releases, community-led-holistic-gender-affirming surgery recovery care, and supporting births of all kinds. Lachiwana educates established centers of ceremonial medicines to better serve and receive two-spirit peoples and our complexities. Releasing misogyny and white supremacy from our bodies allows us to fully experience healing.
Land-Based Libration
Being in right-relation to land will take generations of re-imagining and practice. Our Land-Based Liberation programs aims to deepen relationships with the natural world around and within us. Our Rooted Dreams program is a Queer, gender-expansive land acquisition effort aimed at building a better, less extractive future. We partner with local, State, and grassroots groups to encourage a better, cleaner world for our future ancestors.
Network Incubation
Our Network incubation program focuses on the simple principle: uplift each other to create strong, holistic, resilient, relationship-centered, communities, organizations and movements. We increase the capacity of our fiscal sponsees because they are grassroots, community-led projects. Our support allows them to grow sturdy roots and cultivate skills like budgeting, financial literacy, fundraising, bookkeeping, scaling, networking, human resources, payroll/benefits management, and other core services.
