About This Project:
Parents and caregivers carry the weight of a hurting world while protecting their children's joy. This retreat offers them the same holding they give their children: a restful space with hands-on healing practitioners, self-paced mindfulness activities, and take-home reminders. Inspired by the idea of Black parenting as a collaboration with the future, we designed it around rest and spaciousness, with childcare on site.
