Land Acknowledgement
The land where Sorrel Leaf Healing Center is located is the occupied territory of the Wiyot peoples, close to Da’ Dedi’lh, between Jaroujiji (Eureka) and Goudi’ni (Arcata) on Wigi (Humboldt Bay), the meeting place of many nations. Descendants of the Wiyot who lived in the area are now members of the Blue Lake Rancheria, the Wiyot Tribe, the Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria and other communities. “Wiyot peoples, lands, and waters, were violently restructured by genocide. Yet, Wiyot peoples survived, endured, and developed strategies so that they, too, remade and reshaped California.” (Whitely). The Sorrel Leaf Healing Center honors the resiliency and healing legacy of those who continue to caretake this Land and have done so since time immemorial.
​
At Sorrel Leaf, we envision a future in which young people experiencing mental health crises find solace, healing, and connection through their relationship with the land and their community. We are dedicated to creating a land-based healing center that integrates land-based practices of care into treatment programming and are committed to the process of deep healing that occurs with being in right relationship to self, each other and the more than human community and land. Those living, working and organizing together at the Center have the opportunity to learn from each other as humans who come from the earth.
