Wild Seed Liberation Land: Creating Sanctuary for Women of Color Leading Change

The Need: Women of color—particularly Black and Indigenous women—carrying community work, healing, and organizing face extraordinary pressures that can lead to exhaustion and burnout. There are few spaces designed specifically for their deep rest and renewal.

Our Vision: A continental network of sanctuary spaces where women of color can pause, restore, and return to their communities with renewed energy.

Two Connected Approaches:

  1. Colombia Sanctuary Hub – A 13-acre peaceful retreat outside Medellín offering extended stays (4-8 weeks) in a supportive environment, secured through long-term community partnership.

  2. Distributed Sanctuary Network – Partner spaces across across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), Europe, and in the US so movement leaders can rest, recover, and survive the work.

Our Impact Goal: By 2028, we aim to serve 80-140 women annually through our combined Hub and Network locations, all through referral-based access that honors community knowledge.

The $9M Campaign Supports:

  • Development of our Colombia sanctuary with sustainable infrastructure

  • Operations for 5 years across all locations

  • Capacity building for partner spaces in our network

  • Organizational systems for long-term sustainability

Why This Work Matters: Sustainable leadership requires spaces for restoration. When those carrying community work have opportunities for meaningful rest, they can continue their vital contributions with greater resilience and presence.

Our Leadership: Wild Seed Liberation Land is led by and for women of color, with particular attention to the needs of Black and Indigenous communities. We welcome white women as accomplices, not allies- meaning: you show up to resource, to listen, to redistribute power and to step back when asked. This is not your space to occupy… it is your responsibility to protect.

Join us in creating spaces where rest is recognized as essential to sustained community leadership. Your support helps build infrastructure for renewal that benefits not just individuals, but entire movements and communities.
