The intention of this meditation retreat is to provide a supportive and contemplative environment that centers the experiences of historically marginalized communities while remaining open to allies. Through periods of sustained silence and mindfulness practices, participants will have the opportunity to deepen self-awareness, foster healing, and cultivate inner peace. By prioritizing the unique perspectives and shared experiences of those from historically marginalized backgrounds, the retreat aims to build a sense of community, belonging, and resilience. Limited opportunities to connect in breakout rooms will encourage reflection and mutual understanding, enhancing solidarity among participants while maintaining the retreat's focus on personal introspection and growth.
