Vision
We envision a world where ancestral wisdom thrives, where traditional indigenous medicine ways are honored, and where the sacred knowledge that nourishes humanity is preserved for generations to come. A world where reciprocity and reverence restore balance—where those who share profound healing and spiritual traditions are supported in return.
Mission
Our mission is to ensure the continuity and vitality of ancestral and traditional indigenous medicine ways by providing direct financial support to the families and communities dedicated to carrying these sacred altars forward. Through this work, we uphold the principle of reciprocity—recognizing that these teachings sustain us, and in return, we must sustain their carriers.
By investing in the economic security and sovereignty of indigenous healers and wisdom keepers, we act as stewards of the sacred, ensuring these traditions endure. We acknowledge the sacrifice and dedication of medicine carriers and strive to ease their burden so that their teachings may continue to nourish the Earth and all its inhabitants.
Purpose
Sacred Ways Foundation is committed to fostering a global shift in how indigenous medicine ways are valued and supported. We recognize that in a world where indigenous wisdom is increasingly sought after, economic insecurity remains a pressing concern for many lineage holders. By restoring financial balance and ensuring healers benefit from the rise of psychedelic capitalism, we affirm the importance of these traditions for planetary well-being.
We serve as a bridge between those who receive these teachings and those who dedicate their lives to preserving them. We act in service to the sacred, ensuring that the next generation has access to these life-sustaining traditions. In honoring the wisdom of the past, we cultivate a future of healing, balance, and interconnectedness.
Guiding Principles
Reciprocity in Action – True gratitude is expressed through action. We practice reciprocity by supporting those who have given us invaluable teachings, ensuring the cycle of nourishment continues.
Economic Stewardship for Indigenous Wisdom – The healers and lineage carriers who safeguard these traditions deserve economic security. Their well-being is essential to the preservation of their teachings.
Honoring the Sacred – We recognize that traditional medicine ways are among the most powerful resources we have to heal individuals, communities, and the planet. We are dedicated to ensuring their survival.
Interconnection & Interdependence – The well-being of all life is intertwined. By uplifting medicine carriers, we support the collective healing of humanity and the Earth.
Sacred Responsibility – To receive the abundance of these teachings is to take responsibility for their continuity. We steward the sacred by ensuring that the wisdom keepers are resourced, respected, and revered.
Balancing the Flow of Energy – Money, like all forms of energy, must flow in balance. Just as we receive healing and guidance from indigenous traditions, we ensure that those who share their wisdom receive the support they need to thrive.
Underlying Assumptions
The world is at a critical juncture, where traditional wisdom is needed more than ever to restore balance to both human and ecological systems.
Indigenous medicine ways are vital resources for addressing the spiritual, mental, and ecological crises of our time.
Without intervention, these sacred traditions risk being lost due to economic pressures, cultural appropriation, and systemic inequities.
Financial support for traditional healers is not charity—it is an act of justice, recognition, and reciprocity.
The practice of honoring indigenous wisdom must be accompanied by material support, ensuring that those who carry these teachings forward are not left behind.
Sacred Ways Foundation exists to restore the sacred balance—honoring, protecting, and sustaining the medicine keepers who sustain us all.
