The ARC is a 501c3 nonprofit and organizing platform stewarding regenerative culture, collective care, and long-term systems change through right relationship with land, lineage, and community.

Our mission is to restore pathways of holistic health, cultural continuity, and ecological stewardship by resourcing land-based initiatives, Healing Justice programs, and community-led mutual aid. We work at the intersection of personal healing and systemic transformation — recognizing that resilient futures require both.

 

Our team brings decades of experience working within regenerative healing systems, Indigenous-led wisdom traditions, and global justice movements. We offer not only programming and strategy, but relationship, embodied practice, and ethical stewardship in service of lasting change.

 

OUR PRAYER is to remember and embody ways of living that honor land, lineage, and collective care — restoring practices that sustain health, resilience, and belonging across generations.

We pray to cultivate a culture where healing is not a privilege, but a shared responsibility; where care is rooted in relationship rather than extraction; and where cultural wisdom is honored as living knowledge.

Through The ARC, we steward pathways of Healing Justice, land-based restoration, and cultural continuity — resourcing communities most impacted by harm while strengthening the conditions for long-term regeneration.

 

This prayer is not symbolic.
 

It is practiced through land stewardship, mutual aid, cultural collaboration, and the daily work of tending relationship — with one another, with place, and with the future we are accountable to.

​

TENDING THE CIRCLE

The ARC tends the circle by stewarding relationships — with land, culture, and community — as living responsibilities. We understand healing as collective and relational, and culture as something practiced through care, accountability, and shared stewardship.

​

Our work centers Healing Justice, recognizing that systemic harm lives in the body and that justice requires access to care, rest, and restoration. We create decolonized healing opportunities for underserved and financially marginalized communities, frontline activists, and movement leaders — engaging in reciprocal collaboration rooted in consent, dignity, and cultural integrity.

​

In tending the circle, The ARC stewards land-based initiatives, cultural and educational spaces, healing circles, and mutual aid efforts that support individual and collective wellbeing. We resource Indigenous-led and community-defined priorities, amplify regenerative practices, and build durable infrastructure so this work can endure beyond any single program or moment.

​

Tending the circle is both practice and promise — the ongoing work of holding relationship, resourcing care, and shaping a future rooted in responsibility to one another and to the generations yet to come.

​

What We Steward

As an umbrella organization, The ARC provides governance, fiscal sponsorship, and strategic infrastructure for several interrelated funds and initiatives. Each fund supports a distinct area of impact while contributing to a shared long-term vision.

​

The ARC Programming & Land Project

Homebase & Regenerative Land Stewardship — Kingston, NY

​

The ARC Land Project is the long-term foundation of our work, dedicated to establishing a permanent homebase for land stewardship, cultural education, and collective healing. In its early phases, the project includes programming in collaboration with our sister project, Tierra Valiente, serving as a bridge toward ARC’s future homebase and long-term land stewardship vision.

​

This project supports the acquisition and regeneration of land in Kingston, NY, where The ARC will cultivate a living ecosystem of learning, care, and reciprocity. The land will serve as a site for gatherings, education, and regenerative practice rooted in Indigenous stewardship methodologies and ecological responsibility.

​

This is stewarded by Karina Turtzo and it supports:

• Programming in collaboration with our sister project, Tierra Valiente- Costa Rica

• Regenerative land stewardship and restoration

• Indigenous-informed models of caretaking and reciprocity

• A future holistic healing and education center

• Long-term infrastructure for ARC programs and partnerships

 

This fund is about continuity — ensuring that The ARC’s work is grounded, durable, and accountable to future generations.

• Healing Justice circles locally and internationally
