Colectiva Reclaim + Restore BIPOC Retreat
We listened to the People’s feedback from last year’s retreat, and are now extending to a 3 day overnight retreat! Along with a new private location in Lenape Lands, New York offering beautiful mountain views, bed accommodations and camping options.
Do you want to ground and heal under the oak trees? Do you want to bathe and reset your nervous systems in Forest Spirit? Do you want to restore and breathe in the fresh air and healing essence of nature? Are you ready to spend time immersed in land, ancestral healing, earth-based ceremonies, collective care, connection and breaking bread with beloved BIPOC community?
