We are so excited for this year’s 8th Annual Ancestral Womb Wellness Gathering! This year, it will be a 2 day experience hosted at historic Warehouse 215 in Downtown Phoenix. We look forward to seeing you!

All are welcome to this LGBTQI inclusive gathering that centers the voices and experiences of Black, Indigenous People of Color.

About the Word Womb

Cihuapactli Collective is committed to making our annual gathering a place where two-spirit, queer, transmen, transwomxn, and gender-non-confirming individuals, parents, and families are welcomed. We recognize that our collective has historically been a cis-gender collective of hetero and queer womxn of color. We also recognize we have centered gender and reproductive words like “womb.” Since our inception, we have deeply valued the opportunity to learn and grow with the community that now surrounds us. Last year’s gathering highlighted the need to engage in critical conversations and reflection about the use of “womb” in our gathering’s name. After several community discussions this year, we have decided that the name of the gathering will remain the same as we engage in further dialogue. We believe we still have a lot to learn from the womb as our ceremonial center, as our collective temazcalli. Overall, we hope that this gathering creates a safe space for shared wisdom, wellness, and rest. We appreciate your continued support and feedback.
