ABOUT BURNING CEDAR SOVEREIGN WELLNESS

Burning Cedar Sovereign Wellness is a community hub providing gathering space and culturally-focused programming for the Tulsa urban Native community. Centering art, story, ancestral foodways, plant medicines, land-based healing, and traditional movement practices as living, evolving pathways to individual and collective health, Burning Cedar Sovereign Wellness provides culturally grounded programs that educate and empower future generations, support Native food producers and land stewards, and share regenerative practices that reflect our original instructions to care for the earth and one another.

The Garden at Burning Cedar is a community teaching garden rooted in ancestral seeds, traditional growing practices, and cultivating relationship with the land. It serves as a living model of Indigenous food sovereignty, cultural preservation, and sustainable urban agriculture, featuring a seasonal community vegetable garden and over 60 species of native plants, each of which have culinary, medicinal, ceremonial, or ecological significance.
