Spirit of Activism Retreat ✨

2025 Spirit of Activism Retreat - October 12th

(Rain Date: October 19th)

Join us for the 2025 Spirit of Activism Retreat, a transformative day of connection, reflection, and nature immersion designed for environmental activists and those seeking to deepen their connection to the natural world. Co-hosted by Patti Ragsdale of Botanical Belonging and Sami Aaron with The Resilient Activist, this retreat will take place at a serene forested location and offers a peaceful space to step away from the demands of daily life, slow down, and nurture your spirit.

Throughout the day, you’ll be guided through mindful practices that help you reconnect with yourself and the earth. 🌏The retreat will include a mix of activities such as guided walks through the woods, opportunities for solitude and contemplation, and engaging group discussions. These practices will support your journey toward emotional resilience, helping you process grief, stress, and eco-anxiety while gaining clarity and strength for continued action in the fight for environmental justice.

Participants are invited to bring a sack lunch, designed with zero waste principles in mind. There will be plenty of time for personal reflection and sharing. 🍜

Participants will be invited to explore nature through both structured activities and solo time, where to journal, meditate, or simply sit in stillness, connecting with the land and allowing the wisdom of nature to be a guide. ✨

Whether you're looking for a space to recharge, seek clarity, or simply deepen your relationship with nature, this retreat offers the tools and community to help you find balance and resilience. As we navigate challenging times, the Spirit of Activism Retreat is a powerful opportunity to step into a space of healing, renewal, and community with like-hearted individuals who share your passion for the earth. 🌞
