The word Idaltu represents our sacred ancestry as human beings - our emergence as a species and our birthplace of Africa. Our ties to our original selves. Homo sapiens idaltu, now extinct, live on in their imprint within each of us. “Idaltu” is from the Saho-Afar word meaning 'first born'. The first of a new generation of beings, thinkers, doers and healers.

Idaltu works within the framework of safety, compassion and social-emotional awareness to facilitate the mental wellness of those within your organization

Idaltu believes that organizations play a role in employee’s self-preservation efforts, at every level. The preservation of one’s truth, goodness and talent strengthens the fabric of the company as a whole.

Idaltu believes that liberated people are able to contribute whole-heartedly to the organization if they are given the freedom and support to do so.

At Idaltu, we nurture the unification of self. We know that it matters greatly if employees feel safe to be their whole selves in the work environment. And we know, as Audre Lorde said, “I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.” Wholeness is freedom from all that attempts to separate us from ourselves and our unique contributions to the world.

​

At Idaltu, we want your organization to thrive. We want you healthy, happy and whole. And we will work with you to cultivate a fortified and inspired community of individuals.

SELF PRESERVATION

MENTAL WELLNESS

LIBERATION

COMMUNITY BUILDING

WHOLENESS
