Women Who Carry the Moon

They stand before the full moon—
two daughters of the old Earth,
wrapped in turquoise light
and the quiet strength
of generations.

Their braids reach like rivers
toward the stories they inherit,
each feather a promise
carried forward
with steady hands.

They do not bow to the night—
the night bows to them,
recognizing in their silence
a power older than fire,
gentler than dawn,
yet capable of shaping worlds.

Side by side,
they hold the wisdom
of every woman
who has ever healed a wound
with her voice,
her courage,
or the simple act
of continuing on.

And the moon,
glowing full and bright,
leans close to bless them—
for even the sky knows
that women like these
do not just live on the land…
they keep the land alive.

Healing happens when culture leads the way. Wellbriety Certified Treatment Centers (WCTCs) across the U.S. and Canada embody this truth by integrating the Wellbriety approach into their programs and walking alongside Native individuals and families on their recovery journeys.

Wellbriety Certified Treatment Center – Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest, Inc. (NARA).

NARA has served the community since 1970 by offering culturally grounded education, health care, and substance use treatment to Native people and all who seek support. As an Indian-owned and Indian-operated organization, they provide a full circle of care through residential treatment, outpatient services, family programs, wellness initiatives, and transitional housing. Guided by a Cultural Director and informed by Native tradition, NARA attracts individuals from more than 255 tribes. Their commitment to healing includes the integration of White Bison curricula such as the Medicine Wheel and 12 Steps, Mending Broken Hearts, and Understanding the Purpose of Life.
