Our Purpose

The Stinging Nettle Brujxs Healing Collective is a call to healing in its most radical, decolonized, ancestral-vibing way.  It is a collective that strives to create visibility of ancient healing and cultural traditions. We are led by multigenerational Black, Indigenous, Latinx, POC femme-identified vessels who are artists, mamas, brujxs, nurses, educators, healers, yerberas, students, yogis, and more.  Our collective is committed to the liberation and healing justice of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, POC communities, and our supporting allies. In our work, we recognize the intersectionality of the ways that homo/transphobia, racism, white supremacy, privilege, patriarchy, sexism, colonization, environmental injustice, and other forms of oppressions, impact the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.  SNBHC affirms its beliefs in uprooting these oppressions with healing justice as the catalyst.  Stinging Nettle Brujxs Healing Collective uses skill-shares, workshops, pop-up clinics, community events, herbal walks, conferences, and retreats to co-create spaces for medicine to transcend into wellness.We want to do this work because it is necessary-especially given the political and social climate we are living under. When we reclaim our very existence and create our own spaces, we commit to dismantling a system not meant for us to exist in.
