Memengwaa Transformative Experiences

Our name "MEMENGWAA" symbolizes profound transformation, resilience, and the beauty that emerges from change!

WELCOME TO MEMENGWAA

Memengwaa is an Indigenous women-led organization dedicated to healing, transformation, and reclamation. We provide land-based, culturally grounded wellness experiences that address the critical gaps in health, trauma, and addiction care for Indigenous communities. Rooted in traditional teachings and guided by love and spirit, Memengwaa offers sacred spaces where individuals can reconnect with themselves, the land, and their ancestors, embracing a journey toward balance and renewal.

LAND-BASED HEALING

Holistic healing through reconnecting to the land, and building sustainable practices for continued wellness. An interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit will guide participants through a three-phased journey: Body Renewal and Detoxification, Trauma-informed Healing, and Strengthening the Spirit.

VISION

We envision a future where communities reclaim their wellness, sovereignty, and connection to the land through holistic healing, cultural revitalization, and self-sufficiency. Memengwaa is committed to fostering a world where individuals, families, and communities thrive—guided by the wisdom of our ancestors and the strength of our traditions.

MISSION

We are dedicated to creating intergenerational health by blending traditional Indigenous teachings with modern therapeutic approaches. Through land-based detox, addiction services, ceremony, cultural knowledge sharing, and trauma-informed support, we provide sacred spaces for transformation. Our mission is to heal both people and the land, empowering individuals to embody their gifts, strengthen community connections, and walk the path of mino-biimaadziiwin—the good life.

Why Memengwaa?

Memengwaa was created to offer an alternative to the failing systems that do not serve our people. Born from lived experience, we understand the urgent need for spaces where healing happens without judgment—where individuals can process trauma, reclaim their identity, and rediscover their strength. Our work is about more than recovery; it’s about restoring the health of our people and the land, ensuring future generations grow up connected, resilient, and thriving in alignment with traditional ways of being.
