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.

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.

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.

We actively dismantle colonial structures and thinking in organizational practices. We center Indigenous, Black, and other marginalized knowledges, challenging the dominance of Western paradigms in management and strategy.

We recognize that true sustainability begins with Indigenous sovereignty. We support land reclamation efforts and integrate land-based practices into organizational development.

We revitalize ancestral wisdom as a source of innovation. We challenge the notion of linear progress.

We approach our work as constant learners, acknowledging our mistakes and emobodying the importance of serving others. We are committed to ongoing unlearning of colonial mindsets.
