TOGETHER ON THE LAND, PEOPLE SHIFT TOWARD COLLECTIVE, RECIPROCAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH NATURE, AWAY FROM EXTRACTIVE INDIVIDUALISM-A CENTRAL VALUE AT THE AHIMSA COLLECTIVE. THROUGH SHORT AND LONG-TERM HEALING STAYS, THE CENTER PROVIDES REFUGE FOR COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, FORMERLY INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS, SURVIVORS, JUSTICE WORKERS, AND QUEER PEOPLE, OFFERING A MUCH-NEEDED SPACE FOR REST, REFLECTION, AND GROWTH, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE ESCAPING HARMFUL CONDITIONS. HEALING IS ESSENTIAL, NOT A LUXURY, PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE WHO OFTEN LACK ACCESS TO TIME AND RESOURCES FOR RECOVERY. JUSTICE MOVEMENTS FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTER INTERNAL CONFLICTS THAT HINDER COLLECTIVE PROGRESS, UNDERSCORING THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-CARE AND HEALING IN SUSTAINING TRUST AND SOLIDARITY. THE PROJECT SEEKS TO FOSTER BELONGING, COMMUNITY, AND INTERDEPENDENCE, CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE CAN HEAL FROM TRAUMA IN NATURE AND RECONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER. HONORING THE AWASWAS-SPEAKING UYPI TRIBE OF THE AMAH MUTSUN TRIBAL BAND, THE PROJECT RECOGNIZES THAT THE LAND HAS LONG BEEN IN STEWARDSHIP WITH THE NATURAL WORLD AND ITS FIRST PEOPLES. 404698 0 0 LIFE COMES FROM IT - LIFE COMES FROM IT HAS AWARDED OVER $18 MILLION IN GRANTS TO MORE THAN 250 GRASSROOTS INITIATIVES FOCUSED ON RESTORATIVE AND TRANSFORMATIVE JUSTICE, INDIGENOUS PEACEMAKING, AND LAND-BASED HEALING.
