Uptown Sanctuary/weaving hope through collaboration

MISSION: Women collaborating to heal the trauma of incarceration

VISION: We who have experienced the trauma of incarceration weave a new tapestry of hope and healing

VALUES:

• A safe place for women to explore our spirituality and creativity in an atmosphere of sobriety, develop our artistic skills and collaborate to create community based public art in a sustainable way.
• A welcome refuge for women regardless of age, economics, education, sexual orientation, gender identification, race, ethnic origin, citizen status, physical abilities, mental health challenges, recovery journey, spirituality, political beliefs or veteran status. *
• A sacred intention for those who are affected by the issues of human trafficking.
• To honor this sky, land and water as its own being, which sustains the original people of the Ho-Chunk Nation, this uptown neighborhood, this uptown Madison neighborhood, the settlers who established Grace Episcopal Church and the women of this project who share the values of living with the earth for future generations.

*Safety for all is essential to Uptown Sanctuary

We are a sustainably run, community, fiberarts studio dedicated to women returning to their families and communities from the trauma of incarceration.
