An offering to the Great Mother: A Water Altar and Regenerating 1/4 Acre
The Mni Wichoni Project integrates regenerative practices and an indigenous world view to reweave people back into healthy relationships with themselves, each other, the land, the elements and the Great Mother, creating a resilient ecosystem where both people and the land thrive. Money raised in this campaign will go directly to completing an altar to water, which will serve as a reliable water source, to regenerate a ¼ of land, reintroduce native, resilient and decorative species, increasing bio-diversity, soil health and beginning the process of long term resilience. This project is led by locals, integrating the diverse communities that surround the land.
Project story
The Mni Wichoni Project
Our Vision
The Mni Wichoni Project weaves regenerative practices with indigenous wisdom to restore humanity's relationship with the land, water, and each other. In Taos—a region facing desertification and inequality—we're building a living laboratory to demonstrate that arid desert can become thriving ecosystem.
Your support will complete an altar to water and regenerate a quarter-acre of land, reintroducing native species while restoring soil health and biodiversity. Led by locals and rooted in diverse community partnerships, this project proves that healing the earth heals us all.
The Challenge
Taos embodies a paradox: a destination for the wealthy alongside a community struggling with housing costs and food insecurity. Meanwhile, desertification threatens the region's future. Like civilizations before us, we're depleting the resources that sustain us.
The Solution
We start small: completing our water altar and regenerating a quarter-acre as proof of concept. This creates a demonstration space where community members experience firsthand the transformative power of regenerative agriculture.
With rigorous scientific monitoring and community engagement, we'll track soil health, biodiversity, and social impact. The goal extends beyond this phase—eventually developing affordable housing and food security for our neighbors using earthship architecture and regenerative land stewardship.
Why This Matters
Every transformation begins with one raindrop. This project is ours.
