Medicine Bowl's mission is to heal our relationship with the planet, the land, and one another.

Our Mission

Medicine Bowl is a relationship fueled queer and trans, Black and Indigenous led land-based strategy for liberation. We are a constellation of organizers, farmers, medicine people, and land stewards who believe we can nourish, feed, house & build alternative infrastructures for our communities and ourselves. Nestled in the Green Mountains of Western North Carolina, Medicine Bowl is a home and a hub for healing and movement building in the Global South.

Our Vision

Medicine Bowl envisions a Global South with sustainable institutions which recognize the connections we have to one another, the planet, and to spirit. This is liberation.

Theory of Change

We are Black, Indigenous, Brown, Queer, & Trans Visionaries who understand the relationship between land and power. Medicine Bowl envisions a 2, 20, and 200 year strategy for liberation for the Global South. A key focus of that being building power, resilience, and healing with communities of color -- particularly Black and Indigenous peoples of this land: the Lumbee, and the Eastern Band of the Cherokee. In addition, we are a resource for rural white poor Southerners, who seek to be in right relationship with BIPOC communities and land.
