MISSION
Our mission is to offer care, uplift, and honor the work of
emerging artists and changemakers by facilitating meaningful dialogue and
offering generative & transformative practices to all participants.
FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS
The Chrysalis Institute is anchored in the parallels drawn from our understanding of the natural world in respect to care and interconnectedness.
We hold cultural/ancestral inheritance and expansive futuristic envisioning as imperatives,
sustaining our individual growth and collective liberation efforts.
​
Artists & changemakers are invited into affirming, joy abundant spaces meant to empower and nurture their courageous and transformative trajectories.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The physical home of The Chrysalis Institute is currently on the unceded land of Three Fires Confederacy – the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Pottawatomi.
Great Lakes region Indigenous nations are known as the Anishinaabe (Ah-nish-nah-bay), or original people; their language is Anishinaabemowin (Ah-nish-nah-bay-mow-in).
We recognize, honor, and respect the relationship between the People of the Three Fires, specifically the Match-e-be-nash-she-wish band of the Pottawatomi people, and this land.
