“In spring 2023, staff at Northeast SARE (Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education) appreciated a reflective and nourishing EmpowR Transformation retreat to deepen our relationships with each other and to support our continued commitments to building our personal and organizational anti-racist practice. Our team needed to create time and space to develop more sustainable practices so we can continue navigating the complexity of change presented in diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice efforts. Retreat facilitation invited us to lean into other ways of knowing and to support expanding our capacity for intense and challenging conversations. The collaborative design process also held space for our team to slow down, re-ground in our bodies on the land and practice communal care, together. The retreat was perfect for both welcoming in and orienting new staff as well as supporting experienced staff members to deepen into their learning.”

“Thank you for taking the time to teach me and others in community about how to start deconstructing white supremacy culture within ourselves. Our weaving retreat helped me see how to move beyond white guilt and shame and to understand that these systems are designed to erase ancestral culture and keep us separate. And while it’s not easy to talk about these things, it’s important because it helps us find our voices to advocate for change.”
