Village Lab SalonA village is an interdependent community gathered around care, witnessing, reciprocal support, skill sharing, spiritual vibrancy and communal economic resilience.
The Village Lab Salon provides somatic experiential workshop for BIPOC folks to reimagine care infrastructure and redefine health justice as centered in belonging and safety. All workshops are led by BIPOC facilitators. We define care infrastructure as A RELATIONAL FIELD that fosters the seven elements of sustainable wellness: meaningful connection, nourishing food, healthy physical movement, purpose-driven activity, emotional integrity, environmental integrity, and, of course, restorative rest. |

Immersion RetreatsRadical Return encourages reconnection with self, village and the natural world for BIPOC folks through immersive retreats in outdoor settings
Retreats feature healing, spiritual, and community care practices as well as opportunities to work 1x1 with BIPOC holistic wellness providers and, of course, RADICAL REST. Because our individual bodily wellness is a microcosm of planetary wellness, Radical Return Retreats also feature opportunities for learning ecological connection and stewardship practices. |
