WHO ARE WE?

The word Arketa means enough in the Greek language. At Arketa Foundation we believe each woman is enough.

 

You are enough. I am enough. Together we are stronger and together we are enough!

OUR MISSION

Arketa Foundation is a nonprofit organization designed to empower women and girls through self-defense.

​

 

Our mission is to increase awareness, confidence, and safety by teaching situational awareness, boundary setting, emotional & psychological safety, and self-defense skills.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

"I have completed the Arketa Foundation Holistic self-defense program. It was incredible.  I now
feel so much more confident and safe being in public.  I want all my daughters and granddaughters to experience the wisdom and knowledge this program gives you. I want them to know how to make good decisions and wise judgements when it comes to dealing with their
safety. It was a life changing experience."

Cindy

"When I had the opportunity to take a class, I jumped at it. Several of my daughters and I had a private lesson. It was amazing to watch as my timid child became more sure of herself, forceful in her movements and loud and strong in her vocal defense tactics. The demonstrations were clear. Don’t back away from taking this class."

Rebecca

"Attending Arketa’s Self-Defense Course has been an enlightening experience. Not only did I learn physical self-defense skills; I have also been taught psychological and verbal aspects, which I feel are just as important. I’m no longer afraid to say, “NO” firmly if I feel uneasy in any given situation. I appreciate the emphasis that was placed on trusting your own gut feeling, as it can save your life, by keeping you from entering a harmful situation."
