Indigenous Healing Center

The Indigenous Healing Center (IHC) is an intertribal collective of youth and Elders working to support the unique health and wellness needs of Indigenous families in the San Francisco Bay Area. Through the lens of culture as first medicine, the IHC works to strengthen the cultural identities of children, youth, adults, and Elders by creating spaces for Indigenous spirituality. While also providing salaries and supporting the livelihoods of Indigenous spiritual leaders and healers, IHC projects involve training in Indigenous approaches to holistic health, community health care services using Indigenous medicine, convenings of Indigenous medicine practitioners to strengthen communities of care, Indigenous language revitalization, and traditional land-based practices including ceremonies and beekeeping.
