Women of Color Camp-Out: 4-Day Empowerment Retreat

Balanced Rock has been offering a Women of Color* (WOC) Wilderness Retreat since 2004, offering programs that provide empowering opportunities for WOC to gather in supportive communities while exploring beautiful natural areas and connecting with the lands.

This campground-based, retreat-style program includes mindfulness practices, hikes and shared adventure, yoga, journaling and personal reflection, facilitated group experiences and much more! We want to dedicate this retreat space to women of color who seek to connect with their spiritual self in nature through a campground-based setting.

Through sharing and reflecting on both challenging and uplifting stories in tandem with nurturing self-care practices, we create a welcoming and supportive space for collective healing in nature. Each one of the participants and instructors comes with their own wisdom, and everyone has something to offer and something to receive from each other.

Come reconnect with yourself and find peace. We want our participants to walk away with a feeling of empowerment for their own self-care so that they can take care of their community and the earth.

A dedicated space for women of color* who seek to connect with their spiritual self in nature.
