Our mission is to raise the collective consciousness through the practice and preservation of Indigenous teachings, spirituality, and holistic traditions.
OUR STORY
For millennia, native communities have ensured a harmonious life in the Americas, which has resulted in the development of holistic knowledge systems that serve as a river of knowledge into physical and spiritual transformation.
This includes time-tested awareness of how to mitigate volatile climates while living in balance with Nature and Self.
As we experience the early stages of a climate crisis, exacerbated by human activity amidst a global pandemic, this knowledge is not only threatened, but is now needed more than ever.
Founded in 2022, Red Road Journey builds a bridge that connects these ancestral systems of knowledge to industrialized society, in an effort to tap into our greatest strength as tribal people, our tradition, to bring much-needed healing to the modern world.
WHAT WE DO
Red Road Journey
Red Road Journey is a global Indigenous-led nonprofit, with roots in Arizona and Mexico City, founded on the principle of decolonizing wellness and hospitality.
Our initiative is guided by a Council of Elders from Indigenous communities across North America, including Mexico. We partner with Indigenous knowledge holders worldwide to develop cultural wellness spaces and experiences founded upon the sacred virtues of the Red Road: respect for ourselves, our community, and Mother Earth.
Circular in nature, our model fosters a regenerative economy that centers Indigenous wisdom and sovereignty. All net profits from our projects are reinvested back into partner communities through our Foundation initiatives, completing the circle of reciprocity and supporting cultural continuity globally.
OUR PROJECTS
We are currently developing Red Road Project, an intertribal cultural wellness center just outside of Sedona, a 1.5 hours drive north of Phoenix.
This region, known as Yavapai County, carries profound connection for many tribal nations, and is even the place of emergence for both the Yavapai and Apache Nations.
A cornerstone objective of Red Road Journey is to reclaim the ancestral and historical narrative of Yavapai County and the Greater Sedona area, in honor of our ancestors who make this land sacred.

The Master Plan below offers a glimpse into the design concept of Red Road Project: a world-class restorative oasis, built for humanity, that bridges ancient ingenuity with modern pragmatism - a testament to the timeless culture and tradition of the First Nations from this area.

Net profits generated from our ventures, including Red Road Project and NativeAI, will be directed to the following initiatives of our Foundation - each with a unique mission of restoring health and community to tribal nations throughout Arizona:
"We should acknowledge our strengths (because they've always been there lying dormant), and make a resolve to rekindle all that we forgot, what was, what could be, in healing our communities"
