We came together in 2015 after experiencing a lack of community support for families & womb health. Since then we’ve humbly led the effort in Phoenix to bring Indigenous families together to share knowledge, wisdom, and provide care for those in need.
Overview of our past work below:
A celebratory message from our Elder Dr Crescenciana Rodriguez Nieves - traditional midwife, healer & surgeon.
Our signature event:
annual ancestral womb wellness gathering
June 2021 - held virtually for the first time
The theme for the gathering this year:
The Caracol ~ Spiral ~ Atecocolli is used throughout the world as a ceremonial calling of the ancestors. This Atecocolli is also a symbol of our connections to the elements and a reference to the Cihuapactli Collective’s origin story which involved responding to a mother’s call. This year, the Atecocolli also symbolizes our annual gathering as a calling to our relatives from afar while we manage our home fires, families, mental health, and overall wellness.
This year’s artwork was created by Comadrita Yvonne.
