The Bees of Indigo Sacred Space Oaxaca aka the Indigo House is a BIPOC ancestor house that centers on the healing arts, cultural learning, ecological preservation, ancestral demystification, creative research, charity, and alternative sacred practice that connects us all with the land (we occupy, migrate to or forced upon) in the connection through our ancestors and each other.

​

The Indigo House's mission is to support the collective call toward personal and community empowerment that moves us toward indigenous sovereignty. We believe in the vitality of community building through creative expression that creates and sustains learning environments to unpack history, decolonize oppressive frameworks, encourage healthier practices, bridge generational understanding, build tangible solutions through creative projects, and celebrate collective cultural diversities throughout our diasporic lineages.

At Bees of the Indigo, we work together as a community of local and international BIPOC creators to nurture foundational practices toward legacy sustainability and building better worlds for our generation and generations who will continue our movement towards liberation. We value justice against systemic oppression and the human right that every person should have access to proper living conditions, balanced nutrition and health, financial stability, wholistic survival skills, creative healing medicines, and a whole-person approach to education.

​

Through education, our guiding light is to build with communities to develop projects that support equitable development toward dismantling barriers that divide and disrupt our efforts toward personal and collective freedom. Through fostering education for holistic development, we use the creative cultural arts to expand opportunities that reduce disparities, encourage healthier lifestyles, and express as well as archive the powerful narratives of our people.

​

Through events, services, the garden, vacation/creative guest room rentals, virtual and in-person workshops, and the artist residency, our mission is to embody sacred learning as a thriving watering well for each one, teach one. These frameworks include brainstorming, researching, and exchanging the liberatory wisdom we are all learning along our personal journey(s) that nurture:

​

-New, Old, and integrated Cultural Traditions

- The rejuvenation of Joy and Rest

-The reclamation of Resilience and Integration

— Sustainable Innovative and Practical solutions

We believe that injustice will never prevail over the power of people working divinely toward a collective mission.

Welcome to Bees of the Indigo, community. let’s build together.
