ABOUT
At Milpa Studio, we draw inspiration from the concept of Milpa - an Indigenous technology that embodies principles of interconnectedness, sustainability, and reciprocity. We cultivate transformative growth for non-profits and collectives across Turtle Island.
Just as the Milpa system fosters diversity and mutual support among crops, we nurture organizations where all elements work in harmony.
VISION:
To cultivate a thriving ecosystem of organizations, non-profits and collectives across Turtle Island, to grow sustainably, bring ambitious projects to life in harmony, and create lasting positive impact in their communities.
MISSION:
Milpa Studio empowers non-profits and collectives with holistic management solutions . We foster organizational growth that is based on synergy, a people over systems mindset, and innovation.
VALUES:

We honor the wisdom of matriarchal leadership systems and circular ways of organizing. Our work recognizes the central role of women and two-spirit people in maintaining and protecting Indigenous knowledge systems and governance structures.
Reciprocity:
Like the Milpa system, we nurture relationships based on mutual care and responsibility. We recognize that all work must contribute to the collective wellbeing of our communities and the land.Justice:
Humility:
We approach our work as constant learners, acknowledging our mistakes. We are committed to ongoing unlearning of colonial mindsets. We remain accountable to communities and recognize that true wisdom comes from collective knowledge and ancestral teachings.
