About Red Clover
Red Clover was once an urban farm located in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, taking its name from a plant that removes toxicity from soil through a vast root system.
We learned a lot from the farm about tending to a complex ecosystem and working together not just for survival but for shared thriving in the neighbourhood — an abundant harvest for body, soul, and community.
Having broadened our scope to work with the complex ecosystem of Settler/Indigenous relations, we are continually working to grow things that will nourish body, mind and community. Providing facilitation, consultation, and training, in response to the calls to action of The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, issued in 2015 in Canada, we help de-mystify the process of (re)conciliation by centering Indigenous leadership and uncovering the "growing conditions" in the particular context in which you find your organization.
Red Clover is an independent faith-rooted non-profit movement, operating under the authority of, and accountable to, Indigenous leaders.
Healing at the Wounding Place specifically engages people of Christian faith in healing and justice while acknowledging that the church has been a primary wounding place for Indigenous communities.
