Chrysalis Training and Rest Retreat
We believe that rest is the answer. The rest retreat is a sacred pauseāa space for those on the frontlines social repair to rest, reflect, and reimagine. Set within a peaceful, natural environment, this gathering calls together social healing practitioners to rest, dream, and remember. Our body is speaking, and we need to listen. We believe that reconnection with nature and self is a path toward remembering who we are - a part of the beloved community.
