Sanctuary in the City is a black led, woman led organization founded with the awareness of the need for accessible, safe, and affirming healing spaces for Black Indigenous people of color.  Growing and healing from race-based trauma and stress through focus on the whole self, for all BIPOC, is the primary purpose of this organization.

Through community programming, grant funding and scholarships, The Sanctuary In The City focuses on equitable access to educational opportunities, access to wellness modalities, fair pay Black and Indigenous wellness practitioners and educators and community healing events. 

We exist within a capitalist system that demands resources and creates barriers of access within our community. Our work is centered around making access equitable, peaceful and fair. As a 501c3, we are focused on raising money to pay for programming, provide community grants and scholarships for BIPOC and pay a fare living wage to Black and Indigenous wellness practitioners and community educators. 

Every donation moves the needle forward to our intention of regular donation based and free offerings that hold safe, affirming and healing spaces for our community. Each contribution provides opportunities to support others who seek equitable access to regular classes, trainings, workshops and healing opportunities. Our belief is that individual and collective healing are deeply intertwined. When we invest in the healing, education or expansion of an individual we are investing in the ripple of healing.

Our work is only made possible through collaboration and donations from those who see and understand the importance of this liberation work. Please consider supporting us with financial donations, supplies and space donation. Resources looks like many things and in this work we are re-imagining the possibilities when we all come together.
