The Medic-Healer program is a high-level, two-phase educational program consisting of approximately 3,500 hours of classes, labs, clinics, and intensive field training.

The first phase is spent as an apprentice, gaining a strong foundation of skills and knowledge. The second phase is spent as a journeymxn, solidifying both skills and knowledge through advanced studies, student teaching, and remote field team missions meant to test competency and readiness.

A Medic-Healer must be able to care for their people in any situation or scenario. Therefore this educational program has been designed to equip the student with a high level of personal sovereignty.

Classes include but are not limited to Indigenous Plant Practices, Emergency and Acute Medicine, Clinical Herbalism, Clinical Nutrition and Cooking, Advance Medicine Making, Emergency birth work, Ancestral living practices, Defense, and Cultural Competency.

The program is free for those accepted and prioritizes Indigenous, Black, Racialized, and LGBTQ.

Housing is a human need and right. Through Project Home, we advocate for harm reduction and no-barrier houseless shelters, the overturning of harmful local housing policies, and work to create realistic, accessible, rapid housing solutions for those experiencing houselessness.

Sowing la Futura is an interactive ancestral skills community educational program meant to empower and create sovereignty for vulnerable populations including Indigenous, Black, and other racialized people of color, as well as LGBTQ, working-class, and houseless communities.

Past programming has included adobe oven building, fire-building skills, emergency shelter building, food foraging, medicine making, water purification, weaving, and gardening.

Sowing la Futura programming is open to the public and is free, donation-based, or low cost depending on the program being offered.
