Zaníyan Center
Zaníyan Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to promoting health through plants and connection with the earth. At Zaníyan, we weave ancestral knowledge with practical skills to strengthen personal and community resilience. Our work grows through many hands and takes many forms:
Community Projects
Free Herbal Tea Station
We serve freshly brewed herbal teas at community gatherings, festivals, and educational events.
Visitors learn how to use bulk herbs, explore simple home remedies, and enjoy a moment of rest
and connection.
Food Pantry & Community Library
Our Growing Resilience Project provides a free food pantry open to all and a Little Free Library.
We offer free seeds, plant starts, and food staples to anyone in need.
We believe food sovereignty begins with access, including access to land, seeds, skills, and culturally meaningful foods.
We begin by connecting with the earth through connection with our neighbors.
Gardening Partnerships for Youth & Families
We partner with Seven Directions Neighborhood Farm and the
Bethel School District Native American Youth Empowerment Program to support
hands-on gardening experiences for elementary-aged children and their families. Together, we
teach planting, harvesting, seed saving, and the deep connections between land, culture, and wellness.
Eagletree Press: Books That Grow Our Work
Eagletree Press is the publishing home for all of Daphne Singingtree’s books. One hundred percent of the proceeds from Eagletree Press titles, including the Circle for the Earth fiction series, the Birthsong Midwifery Workbook, and our herbal and educational texts, go directly to support the Zaníyan Center and help fund our on-the-ground projects.
Our fiction books are part of this work as well. The Circle for the Earth series explores themes of resilience, Indigenous knowledge, herbal medicine, birth and parenting, food sovereignty, and community self-reliance in the face of disruption. These stories help share the same values that guide Zaníyan Center: connection with the land, care for future generations, and practical skills for building just and sustainable communities.
When you purchase a book from Eagletree Press, you are not only getting a story or a study resource—you are helping plant gardens, pour free herbal tea, support youth and families, and keep our community education projects alive.
Educational Workshops
Workshops offered focus on:
- The healing power of plants to support body, mind, heart, and spirit.
- Sustainable food systems that build food sovereignty and long-term well-being.
- Midwifery and natural birth.
- Emergency preparedness, community-centered resilience, and practical skills that help us endure and thrive.
At the heart of Zaníyan Center is a simple truth: connection to the land, reverence for life, and shared knowledge create a strong and sustainable future. We are looking for volunteers. Donations are alway appreciated. Sign up for the newsletter to find out what is coming up next.
