MEET US IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST!
March 23 – 26, 2023
The goal of this 3-day retreat is to address these questions within an intimate gathering of folx who are committing to remembering our holistic selves – as creatives, servant leaders, laborers, researchers, caregivers, entrepreneurs, and connectors. There are structured individual and group writing times as well as options for co-curated activities to cultivate joy and wellness. Our work in this space is rooted in Black feminisms, indigenous / critical ethnography and music.
If you are interested in information for the 2024 Retreat, email mbillye@blackfolxarerich.com with RETREAT as the subject head.
