About Us
Since February 2021, Seeds Of Ancestral Renewal (SOAR) has been cultivating systems of care to support the BIPOC community of Northern California. Rooted primarily in Wiyot, Winnemem Wintu, and neighboring Native territories, SOAR draws on the abundance of strengths, brilliances, and creativities of local BIPOC caretakers to establish services for BIPOC individuals and families.
When we say “caretakers,” we mean the countless people that sustain our community: the cooks, the auncles, the housecleaners, the grassroots organizers, the death doulas, the birthworkers and babysitters, the farmers and herbalists, the revolutionaries and movement-builders.
SOAR is an intentional action of solidarity, not charity. We recognize that only together, in reciprocal respect and support, can we continue flying for generations to come.
