Passion-based Mastery

Original Medicine is organized with working class communities chronically impacted by systemic structural and cultural oppression contextualized by housing insecure, economically insecure, queer, and neuroauthentic experiences. Intersecting regenerative land-based cultural practices and urban organizing tactics restores foundational relationships with a more profound decolonizing impact than traditional survival programs or isolated local organizing.
Collectively owning and stewarding land through this holistic, intercultural framework integrates original knowledge, human harmony, and ecosystems-based approaches, honoring our collective indigenous ancestry while appropriately integrating relevant modern scientific insight.
