We are thrilled to invite you to the Empowering Justice Transformative Wellness Retreat, a vibrant gathering designed especially for social justice activists, leaders, frontline workers, and change-makers like you. Join us for a day of deep restoration, joyful healing, and intentional self-care on July 22, 2024, from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM at the serene Temescal Beach House in Oakland, CA.

At this retreat, you'll gain valuable insights into how trauma affects our nervous systems, and learn nurturing practices to rejuvenate your spirit while cultivating embodied somatic and creative activities. Together, we’ll take a sacred pause to create a space of renewal, healing, and joy, empowering justice, and fostering our love for humanity and the Earth.

Our retreat embodies the spirit of Audre Lorde's wisdom,
"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."
