Healing Our Way Home: A Retreat for Women of Color

Join Healing Our Way Home: A Retreat for Women of Color
November 21-23, 2025
Onsite at Garrison Institute, Garrison, New York

This retreat is a sacred space for cis-gender and trans women of color to come together in community, honoring the fullness of who we are. Rooted in the themes of the book Healing Our Way Home, we will explore the wisdom of our ancestors, the power of joy, and the deep possibilities of liberation.

Together, we will create a refuge of belonging—where our stories, identities, and journeys are held with care. Through practices of mindfulness, we will nurture our collective healing and strengthen our capacity to show up with resilience, love, and freedom in our lives and communities.

Each day will include dharma teachings on healing, joy, ancestors, and liberation; guided meditations (both sitting and moving) to ground and restore us; mindful walking and movement to connect with body and earth; mindful eating to nourish body and spirit; singing and chanting to open the heart; and dharma writing, reflection, and small-group sharing to deepen insight and community connection.

Reading Healing Our Way Home in advance is encouraged to enrich our shared time together (available here). This retreat welcomes the full diversity of women of color—including trans women, gender-expansive people, and all who identify as women of color, regardless of gender role, expression, or physiology.
