What Are We Building?
To be honest, we don’t fully know. Communities are not built—they are revealed. They emerge through the people who show up, through the songs we sing, and through the spirit that moves between us. As artists, creatives, and seekers, we know that ideas and inspirations have a way of claiming us, shaping us, and showing us the way. We intend to leave space for that—for the unknown, the unpredictable, and the sacred to move freely.
How We Are Building It?
We are building community in West Michigan through connection: to plants, to the land, to one another, and to the wisdom carried in our bodies. Through tending the earth, cultivating reciprocal relationships with the natural world, gathering in breathwork ceremonies, and participating in grief rituals, we create spaces for healing, remembrance, and belonging. We believe that grief, breath, song, prayer, and relationship to the land are all pathways back to ourselves and to each other.
We hold a simple faith: that the ancient knowledge of our ancestors is not lost, it lives in our bones. It breathes through us. We need only keep singing, dancing, listening, and praying, and trust that what is meant to come alive will do so in its own time.
We are learning what it means to belong deeply, to let the land shape us, to walk in reciprocity with the more-than-human world, and to remember that we are not visitors here.
We are kin.
