Library
Sacred Medicine Sisterhood began this library so that the women in our group can increase their knowledge and their wisdom, passing it on to other women and girls.
Our books, cards, and documentaries have been lovingly donated, and we operate on an honor system, much like a public library. We are always accepting donations, furthering our library.
"The world will never realize 100 per cent of its goals if 50 per cent of its people cannot realize their full potential. When we unleash the power of women, we can secure the future for all.”
