<div><strong>Hello and welcome!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re so grateful you’re here and considering supporting this sacred land project.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are <strong>TRiBE</strong> — a community and chosen family of BIPOC, queer, trans, and two-spirit folks brought together by a shared desire to reweave the hoop of ancient and Indigenous wisdom for the modern world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our intentional community was founded 15 years ago by <a href="https://jaimedina.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jai Medina</a> , a two-spirit person of mixed heritage with Mexica roots from South Texas and Mexico. Jai is also the founder and Wayfinder of <a href="https://schoolofshamanicarts.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Balanzu Way School of Shamanic Arts</a>, currently based outside Portland, Oregon.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many in our community are healers, teachers, and community builders. We are deeply committed to service work, though it often comes with financial hardship. Many if not all of us live at the intersection of chronic illness, systemic injustice, and economic marginalization, and we’ve faced the ongoing challenge of being disconnected from land ownership. For over a decade, we’ve rented beautiful places to host retreats and ceremonies, while quietly dreaming of a permanent home.
</div>
<div>We are thrilled to share: <strong>we’ve finally found the land.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Pixan Balam</strong> (“Jaguar Spirit” in Mayan) is a sacred 50-acre property in the Yucatán Peninsula. Previously held by queer stewards as a spiritual refuge, it holds a powerful legacy we are honored to continue. We are now in the process of purchasing, restoring, and reimagining this space as <strong>a retreat center and communal sanctuary</strong> — a home for healing, ceremony, cultural exchange, and ancestral reconnection.
</div>
<div>We envision demonstration spaces to teach traditional arts: preparing cacao, Mayan beekeeping, weaving and spinning cotton, and much more. We also aim to support local Maya teachers and artisans by creating a platform for their wisdom, while honoring right relationship with the Indigenous communities of this land.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What We Need</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>$5,000</strong> to complete the final purchase of the land, which in total costs $150,000. We have already raised $145,000 through private loans and community donations, and are in agreement with the current landowners for a private sale.
</li>
<li><strong>$30,000</strong> to begin essential repairs and upgrades: plumbing for bathrooms and kitchens, installing water heaters and septic tanks, window replacements, and roof/wall touch-ups on the cabanas. The land is beautiful but in need of restoration to become fully habitable and functional for guests and residents.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We know how powerless it can feel to act in the face of sweeping institutional harm. This project is a way you can reclaim agency and offer real, direct care to communities that deeply need it right now. <strong>Every share and every dollar helps.</strong> Supporting Pixan Balam is not just helping us secure community land—it’s helping build a safe haven for queer, trans, and BIPOC folks— and creating sacred space for retreats, ceremony, teaching, healing, and reconnection to ancestral ways, especially for those of Latinx heritage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us build a safe and sacred space where community, culture, and healing can thrive for generations to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With deep gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>TRiBE
</div>
