We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to relational learning through nature and peace building in the Tulsa area. At this time, the Maiden Mysteries is our foundational programming. We also work in partnership with a number of local businesses and nonprofits to support creative educational opportunities for Tulsa's youth. Our programs offer a living curriculum centered in community that responds to the needs and interests of each child.
All our programs start with the foundation of spending time in nature. When we learn to observe and listen to the natural world, it becomes a much needed refuge, and provides a template to solutions for our future.
We strive to work with an emerging style of collaborative leadership that recognizes the unique gifts each person brings to the group. We work within an anti-oppression lens, questioning our assumptions and encouraging one another to widen our understanding. All group members are guided into leadership roles when they are ready and willing to offer it to the community.
The creative arts infuse all our programs. We provide opportunities for youth to discover their inner resources and express themselves in unique ways. Depending on the interest and gifts of the group we may include music, movement, writing, poetry, handwork, floral design, plant medicine crafting, drawing, painting, jewelry making, and more. Creative expression is integral in shaping the future.
We recognize and honor the long line of ancestors who have worked tirelessly for a world beyond war and where all people can live a life of dignity and opportunity. We are dedicated to teaching this history to our youth to give them strength, and endurance through these precious times of transition from childhood to adulthood as well as hope for the work they will do in the years ahead.
