Become a Restoring Collective Peacebuilder. It’s time. You can help stop the violence.
We activate and mobilize Indigenous peacebuilding wisdom, replacing colonization violence with Indigenous restoration and harmony culture.
We train and support Indigenous Peacebuilders to host Ayataway Circles with their local communities, and replace cycles of colonization trauma with Indigenous cultural ways and uplift, affirmation, and belonging, creating peaceful relations and communities.
We support Ayataway Circles over time to build up family and community relationships of respect, belonging, appreciation, self-authority, and collective uplift.
The Circles become integrated parts of your community, a trusted place for healing and relationship healing, conflict resolution and repair from harm, culture and celebration, growing community actions of joy and uplift, learning, and creativity.
We tailor our foundational Restoring Toolkit to integrate with your community's gifts, wants, topics, and collaborators. We invite you to mobilize and bring in local good ways and wisdom and make the Circles your own.
Our Community Workshops combine hands-on cultural making in every session, from weaving and drum making to storytelling and medicine gathering, decolonizing our relationship to land and each other.
I feel safe here. I feel connected. And I feel uplifted...that I can go into the hardest situation and handle it in a good way...because I know that the way is in me. The workshop brought that out in me. And every thing that I've learnt here, the tools, the skills, the relationships, has been useful.
