Addresses social and environmental justice
Honors elders and uplifts youth
Preserves cultural memory and living traditions
Creates spaces for reflection, accountability, and healing
Activates historic and natural sites as places of learning and restoration


The Menen’s work extends beyond its home base through international collaborations and cultural exchange.

Our Home
The Menen is rooted in Reems Creek, Weaverville, North Carolina. Programs are site-responsive and community-focused rather than tied to fixed public hours.
