Nourish your spirit and strengthen your connection to the land at Morning Medicine: Coffee & Kinship, a virtual gathering exclusively for Indigenous women land stewards. This event offers a welcoming space to share stories, find support, and deepen your roots in community and healing, all while enjoying your morning beverage together!

This gathering is open to all Indigenous women who feel called to steward the land, regardless of regional affiliation. Morning Medicine is part of WIR’s Rooted in the Land program, which focuses on holistic care to nurture women’s physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.

Join us for our first-ever book club field trip to the Pryor Mountain Mustang Sanctuary outside of Billings, MT, on July 13. The center will provide a brief presentation, followed by a self-guided tour to see the site and horses.

Last fall, we delved into "Desert Chrome" by Kathryn Wilder, a powerful narrative intertwining grief, motherhood, and a return to the desert. Wilder's story on the Colorado Plateau, bordering a mustang herd, celebrates America's mustangs and explores ways to protect them and their habitats in the arid West.

Inspired by these themes and our love for horses, we decided to organize this field trip to experience firsthand the sanctuary's connection to the natural world and the wild mustangs that inhabit it.

Details:

• Flexible Half-Day Event

• Start Time: 10 AM MST

• Meeting Location: Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center, 1106 Rd 12, Lovell, WY 82431

The Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center is located just east of Lovell, Wyoming, on Highway 14A. It is situated east of the Cal S. Taggart Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area Visitor Center.

We're delighted to offer this event at no cost! 

Just a friendly reminder to pack your own lunch and snacks and arrange your transportation to and from the center (we encourage bringing a friend and carpooling).

We can't wait to spend the day with you!

These offerings will take place from mid-summer to early winter; we are currently in conversation with women in SD, ID, TX, CO, WY, and MT.
