Writing our Resistance:

Subterranean Stories of Survivance

Join us for "Writing Our Resistance", a transformative workshop exploring the power of storytelling as a tool for resilience, care, and resistance. Led by healers Jessica Hua and Marisol Rascon, this event will guide you in crafting your own mythologies of care, embracing quiet organizing, and finding strength in invisibility and the trickster archetype. Together, we’ll reclaim our narratives and create stories that inspire change.

OUR PROGRAMS

A 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 communal care and redefine health justice as centered in belonging and safety. All workshops are led by BIPOC facilitators.

We define communal care as RELATIONSHIPS 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.

Radical 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. 

Somatic Liberation is the result of a healing progression that starts with building intimacy with one's own body-mind-spirit and evolves toward the development of an empowered and sovereign community comprised of vital, resilient individuals. 

In the community partnerships program, Radical Rest partners with organizations that serve the BIPOC community to offer somatic, trauma-informed healing justice programming​ facilitated by BIPOC facilitators who hold communal care at the center of wellness practices.

All programming is tailored to the needs of the community partner and the BIPOC populations they serve.

Resilience is best understood as a characteristic of communities rather than of individuals.
