Who are we?
We are:
the Wellsprings of Umoja foundation
WellU for short.
WellU is an egalitarian faith-based 508c1a not-for-profit fellowship foundation that restores faith in hue’m’nity.
WellU starts with the question:
“What interconnection point can guide us all towards a wellness that blooms from within?”
Interconnection point for all = Umoja
Wellness that blooms from within = Wellspring
the Wellsprings of Umoja, boom.
WellU answers this question by rooting into the first experience of home we all had in this physical reality of being Nourished within the Greater Wholeness of the womb.
WellU then utilizes this creation imprint to co-create that womb-like home experience in every moment, and, thus, naturally nurtures:
W.i.s.dom (Wellness, Interconnection, Sovereignty)
in relationship w/ Source, self, everyone, & Earth through
Communion

What makes us unique?
The Wellspring / A wellness that blooms from within / Sovereignty oriented by Wellness
It’s ALL about the language, because in many ways, language is what makes us hue’m’n.
Most initiatives organize their ethos in abstractions like goodness, peace, love, etc. And while that seems all well and good on the surface, when it’s really dissected it’s easy to see that we can’t really know what those ideas mean to everyone. This is because of the fundamental principle to all hue’m’n language that:
Abstractions are ALWAYS relatively defined.
Which creates a beautiful innate sovereignty in our capacity to define every abstraction for ourselves. But this doesn’t help us all to organically and authentically connect by wellness in a sovereign way.
So, instead of basing our ethos in abstractions, we anchor into our common physical reality. But this goes deeper then the physical reality we experience day in day out because most of the physical reality we experience today is simply a result of our human projections made physical. Our roads. Our homes. Our pollution. Our lack of engagement with the forest, while at the same time our massacring of the natural predators and larger prey that would manage the forests along with us, and thus the experience of the “wilderness” we have now. It’s hard to reference and honor physical reality when it’s been so tainted with our delusion of separation from it. But that doesn’t take away the fact that something needs to shift with how we relate to the earth, ourselves, and each other.
For this reason, even though the physical reality is our anchor – that’s only the beginning of refining a base that anchors us within sovereign wellness.
So for us, we reference a physical reality that is a universal, primal, self-referential experience we all had of being Nourished in the Greater Wholeness of the Womb.
We utilize this creation imprint to co-create this womb-like experience in every moment and, thus, naturally nurture a sovereign wellness based connection with Source, self, everyone, and Earth.
And we truly believe that if we can inspire others to anchor into this creation imprint as a guiding light for connection and co-creation that would be enough to inspire people to begin to nourish themselves. And eventually, they would be nourished enough within this context to begin to consider the whole of existence, and all the while they will be creating the very textural frequency of those aforementioned abstractions that most initiatives use to try to create the world they want to see. Except in this way, we’re not telling people what to do, to think, or even how to define their thought – we’re just reminding them that they have an anchor in their lived experience that can guide them and we’re revealing to them how that could be enough and much better even then the attempt to qualify life based in passed-down judgements of good or bad. Judgments that actually limit our capacity to experience and listen to the wisdom of the life that pours through our veins and the veins of every living being in existence. Because when we listen the inner direction that simply based in what is most nourishing within the Greater Wholeness is always there. We just have to follow our yum by way of Womb.
Umoja / Unity / Unifying Factor for All
In addition to most initiatives being based in abstractions, something else that tends to happen in these altruistic spaces is they are usually led by men who identify as white and, regardless of whose leading the mission, rarely do people talk about race, the implication of someone identifying as white, or even whiteness as an identity at all. But the presence of it, with the continued identity being held by those who either identify as white or identify others as white, is still there.
So we’re addressing this head on by using the word Umoja instead of Unity (which is what Umoja means in Swahili). Because, yea, in many ways it could be easier to just call our work the Wellsprings of Unity. But we’re choosing to use Umoja because we want to directly address the impact of how these ideas of identity either connect us or separate us.
And, in doing the refining womb-aligning work of WellU, we have evolved these ideas to truly support connection. I mean, in some ways we haven’t needed to evolve the ideas. We just needed to acknowledge the implication and stand fully in it.
Like blackness for instance. One way that many people define blackness is simply having African ancestors. But there’s also the, also, generally accepted perspective that all of humanity comes from Africa. So in that way, wouldn’t all of hue’m’nity be considered black?
However, some ideas do need to be turned on their head in order to support the intention of an all-inclusive, sovereign wellness oriented connection.
Like whiteness, which is fundamentally – when held as an identity – an identity based in separation. To be white is not be colored or black. So this idea needs to be evolved in some particularly distinct way if it’s going to support connection. So, what WellU’s Counsel of Guides have done is we have taken whiteness out from an identity and turned instead into an experience that everyone can have from within of a celestial star like white light that shines ever more brightly when held in the blackness of the WombVerse.
So, in evolving these ideas, we use Umoja because it’s based in Swahili – a language that was created by many different African tribes and nations to be a bridge between them. So, in utilizing this language in our title we are holding the fact that we are calling in an identity that we can all share, that addresses the issues of racial politics head on.
And, just one more note on blackness. The reasoning of an African ancestry of hue’m’nity, while being a strong one, doesn’t have to be the only anchor towards a universally accessible identity of blackness. We can also relate to blackness as the black experience we all had while being created in a womb, the black soil by which our food is most nourished, or even the black cosmos of which we ascribe so many of our aspirations and dreams. Whatever reasoning you can find yourself within, we believe it to be accessible to anyone with the desire to find an identity based in connection and so this is why we choose to emphasize it by utilizing Umoja in our Fellowship’s title.
Family Focality
To be family focal to us means having spaces that support children’s budding sovereignty, while also exposing them to a wide variety of skills and trades that are relevant to today’s society. And at the same time, supporting parents in ways that honor our individual needs as men and women and our needs as couples.
Over the past half century or more we’ve seen a continuous erosion of children’s freedom to play and, corresponding with that, a continuous decline in young people’s mental and physical health. If this trend continues, we are in serious danger of producing generations of future adults who cannot find their own way in life.
Instead of witnessing adults in the village performing the tasks of the village, children spend increasingly more time being babysat by screens, and with domestic abuse and divorce rates skyrocketing, parents are really feeling the brunt of lacking village support as well.
WellU is creating spaces where children’s free play is prioritized inside and outside, spaces located around the activities of the community – with youth accessible versions of everything we do as a community always present.
WellU also prioritizes the wellness of the parents by leading retreat spaces that support both the women and men separately and together, by taking turns and having village support with the children.
Egalitarian Access, Design, & Governance
Dynamic Access
We recognize that a truly resilient economy is built on more than just money.
Money is only one form of exchanging value but there are other more grassroots ways. We’ve all heard of bartering, right? This can be done between individuals, as well as to a group.
And behind every exchange is a commitment and the ability to honor your word in this moment or in the future.
With this, we open our services to exchanging value in a dynamic way, taking into account where people are and what they can offer, to us or to our larger ever expanding community.
Intentional Design
Our intention is to support integral wellness. That is, of course, wellness on the physical realms, mental, spiritual, and also, social.
In a world that profits off of our sickness, exploits our bodies, time, and energy as resources to be extracted at the expense of our health, stress levels are skyrocketing every year
Extreme wealth is being concentrated in the hands of a few families the world over and economic inequality is growing and these higher levels of economic inequality are linked to worse health outcomes in everyone, not just the people in poverty, but even the richest families are affected because of their toxic efforts to continue to maintain and grow their wealth despite the suffering of so many.
So we’re taking all this into account by making the largest most grandiose spaces of WellU’s 7GenPlus Network’s anchors, the collective wellness spaces.
And then having personal long and short term living spaces be humble, functional, and of course beautiful.
Non-authoritarian Governance
WellU’s governance style is intentionally egalitarian because we believe that in order to support a world based in sovereign wellness we need to first start by honoring the sovereign wellness of our own collective. We do this by utilizing a Counsel of Guides’ consensus vote to make our decisions. We also have a simple process for any member to be able to become a Guide within the counsel no matter who they are, what they have, or where they come from.
