The Heart Of
MAUYA
Mauya means “You are welcome” in Shona.
This word reflects the heart of everything we do. Mauya exists to create spaces where people feel invited, seen, and safe to show up as they are. Whether someone is new to a city, reconnecting with themselves, or simply seeking community, Mauya is an open door—a place to gather, create, and belong.
Mission
Through creative workshops, gatherings, and cultural programming, we support personal growth, collective healing, and meaningful community connection, particularly for equity-deserving communities and newcomers.
Vision
To foster communities where creativity, holistic well-being, and self-expression support belonging, healing, and collective care.

Creativity with Purpose
We use art to tell stories, spark healing, and hold space.
Play & Exploration
We make room for play as a tool for healing, connection, and self-expression. Adults deserve joy, wonder, and the freedom to explore, too — our experiences are designed to awaken that inner spark.
Community-Centered
We uplift voices and experiences that are often unseen, especially within racialized and marginalized communities. We lead with cultural integrity and care.
Collaboration
We build together, learn together, and grow together. No idea is too small, and no role is too big when it comes to creating something meaningful.
