Clan Mother Hua Anwa, a revered Métis Elder of Mayan and Cherokee descent and an adopted Chumash, has spent her life in service—offering healing, ceremony, and spiritual guidance to her community. Through Circles of Empowerment, she leads the annual Long Dance, Full Moon ceremonies for women, sweat lodges, weddings, memorials, and countless other teachings that bring connection, healing, and strength to those who seek her wisdom.

But in today’s economy, elders like Hua—who rely on donations and reciprocity rather than a paycheck—are being pushed to the margins. Inflation, skyrocketing rent, and the increasing economic pressures brought on by political decisions that favor the wealthy over ordinary people have made it nearly impossible for someone like Hua to make ends meet. With only a small Social Security check and the donations from her work, she’s struggling to cover her most basic expenses, especially housing.

Why Your Support Matters:

We’re living in a time where elders and wisdom keepers are undervalued, while the cost of living continues to rise at record rates. Every month, Hua faces the harsh reality that her sacred work—the ceremonies, healings, and teachings that hold so much power and meaning—cannot pay the bills in the face of rising rent, food costs, and ongoing economic instability.

Your donation will:

• Help cover Hua’s rent and basic living expenses.

• Allow her to continue leading powerful ceremonies and spiritual gatherings.

• Support the preservation of traditions and teachings that our world desperately needs.
