At Four Waters Rising, we center wellness equity, creative expression, intergenerational connection, and cultural continuity, especially for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and other marginalized communities. Our work reduces mental health disparities by expanding access to education, collective healing, and creative practices and addressing the deep impact of systemic and intergenerational trauma on self-determination, leadership, and collective well-being.

We imagine a future where communities historically pushed to the margins can thrive in their wholeness, supported by holistic tools, culturally rooted resources, and pathways for healing, preservation, and civic engagement.

Through our programs and partnerships, Four Waters Rising nurtures pride in cultural identity and creative arts and holistic wellness, cultivates spaces for collective belonging, and equips individuals and communities to combat the impact of systems of oppression on overall health, wellness, expression, and futurism.
