Dear Aniwa Family,
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who contributed last month, your love and generosity have carried Aniwa through challenging times and made it possible for this sacred work to continue. You are the lifeblood of this movement, we honor the trust you place in us and really feel the love from this community, it is so special!
As we carry on with our work after last gathering, your support continues to keep Aniwa alive, and to begin preparing for next year’s gathering, we urgently need to raise $30,000 by the end of September. The cost of securing land, paying for passports and visas for new elders, production, and creating a space where Indigenous wisdom can flourish in CA is real, and your gift ensures this work continues, accessible to all who seek it.
Aniwa is more than an event, it is a sanctuary, a gathering of hearts, a movement of change, and a beacon of hope in these challenging times. Every donation plants a seed: for the teachings that shape our lives, for the connections we share, and for the generations who will follow in our footsteps.
The United States is experiencing one of the most challenging energetic times of our era, and the weight of this moment is deeply felt by many. The wisdom, healing, and blessings of our elders are needed now more than ever, and the legacy of this work will be the most precious gift we can leave for future generations, a path open to a more harmonious and thriving future.
If Aniwa has touched your heart, if the memory of our gathering still lingers in your soul, please stand with us now. Your gift, big or small makes all the difference.
All donations are tax deductible.
With deep gratitude and love,
Vivien Vilela
Founder & CEO, Aniwa
