We are hosting Vesper Meadow's first ever overnight Campout for BIPOC Leaders!

~~~~~~This will be an event for individuals that self-identify as people of color~~~~~~

 Black and brown bodies can carry a lot of unconscious stress and tension, and community leaders do not always have the time and space for rest and restoration as we navigate personal and collective crises. Our aim is to provide an event where our bodies, minds and spirits can relax and rejuvenate through time in nature and low-key activities designed to bring joy, reduce stress, and harmonize our selves. And what better place to do that than in the full bloom of summer, surrounded by a healing landscape and fellow humans dedicated to health and community?! 

Some thoughts from two of our community partners and event facilitators:

“In these times, we need spaces to rest, digest, and regenerate. I am looking forward to facilitating at Vesper Meadow’s BIPOC leaders campout in June. I will be guiding a land-based grief process to support BIPOC leaders in grounding with the body of the earth. In our evening together, we will be connecting to self, land, and community, asking what the earth can help hold for us - to release the burdens and stress that is too much to carry on our own.” Desiree Coutinho, LCSW, Root Sense Healing LLC

“ Vesper Meadow is a safe space to explore and reflect inward on one's own journey with healing trauma, loss or renewal. The hosts at Vesper Meadow invite participants to be mindful, vulnerable, and aware of our bodies, senses and thoughts as we explore open discussions about our emotions, actions and intentions for healing.” Gabriel Barrera, local artist ScenicG

This event will be full of relaxation and restoration on the land and in community. The campout will be held on Friday, June 26th - Saturday June 27th at the Vesper Meadow Restoration Preserve.

Keeping within the spirit of a relaxing event, spots are limited. RSVP to hold your place!
