A Living Altar for LiberationSelenite &amp; Sage Healing Homestead is a land-based nonprofit project rooted in rest, remembrance, and reclamation.This work exists to make liberation&nbsp;livable&nbsp;&mdash; not theoretical, not performative, and not rushed.We are building toward a permanent homestead where healing is practiced in daily relationship with land, body, and community. A place where education, art, nourishment, and accountability are held together &mdash; not fragmented across systems that exhaust people and extract labor.This homestead is an expression of shared work:the meeting of&nbsp;LadySpeech Sankofa&rsquo;s ancestral art and orature&nbsp;with&nbsp;Desire&eacute; B. Stephens&rsquo; liberation and decolonization praxis. Here, art becomes medicine. Education becomes a ceremony. And community becomes something we practice, not something we promise.At the homestead:<ul data-end="2218" data-start="1866" fr-original-style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;"><li data-end="1966" data-start="1866" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Children are supported to learn in relationship with the earth, not in opposition to their bodies.</li><li data-end="2087" data-start="1967" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Caregivers are resourced to unlearn fear-based, colonial models of control and return to trust, rhythm, and belonging.</li><li data-end="2218" data-start="2088" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Healers, unlearners, and community builders gather to rest, remember, and strengthen their capacity for accountability and care.</li></ul>The Selenite and Sage Healing Homestead is a place where repair replaces separation, where harm is addressed upstream, and where community can take root slowly and with integrity.Why Land MattersHealing, accountability, and education require a place.A permanent homestead allows this work to be stewarded with stability, safety, and continuity &mdash; beyond lease cycles, urgency, or exclusivity. It allows programs to unfold seasonally, relationships to deepen over time, and care to be offered without extraction.This campaign supports the&nbsp;long-arc goal of permanent land stewardship&nbsp;so this work can remain accessible, grounded, and held with dignity for generations to come.There is no deadline here.
