Whispers From Our Ancestors emerged from the regenerative healing experience that Meztli Projects Femme Circle created. A space where Indigenous women from all levels of connection to their Indigenous roots gathered to share stories and teachings of Traditional healing practices to rise again, becoming the priority on which we rely for our medicine – spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and relationally. A practice in which sisterhood was formed and strengthened as pillars to face and piece back our Ancestral knowledge to heal the destructiveness of colonialism and patriarchy. 

Whispers From Our Ancestors exists as a continuum of the Femme Circle to amplify the voices, stories, and teachings from California Native femme as a place to discuss our traditional ways of healing and how, through our ancestral teachings, practices, and community, we combat Western implications with the lens and approach of Indigenous Feminism. We journey through questions together, asking how, as Indigenous femmes, do we balance living in two worlds? Where do we begin if, forcefully, our upbringing wasn't rooted in our traditional teachings? Through this, we deepen our understanding of the impacts of settler colonialism and patriarchy and the forced disconnection, but also build empowerment through shared stories rooted in Indigenous ideology to heal and strengthen our connection to land, to our bodies, to our peoples, and our spirits.
