Homecoming is a trauma-informed, nature-based retreat created for those seeking a return to rest, connection, and renewal. Together, we will explore what it means to return to ourselves, one another, and the land through nature, community, embodied practice, and collective healing and liberation.

Created in partnership between Harriet’s Wildseed and Acorn Adventure, this experience integrates clinical insight with Afro-Indigenous healing practices, offering a culturally responsive and embodied approach to restoration, reflection, and nervous system regulation.

Held at Silvae Spiritus, a forest sanctuary intentionally designed to support connection with the natural world, this retreat invites participants to step away from constant output and return to themselves, their bodies, and the land.

July 11 carries the energy of completion and awakening. This gathering is an intentional return to Mother Earth as first mother, and to the body as a living site of memory, healing, and wisdom.

Retreat Experience

Homecoming provides a structured and supportive space that integrates education, embodiment, and rest. Participants will move through guided experiences that support nervous system awareness, emotional release, and reconnection to self and community.

Retreat elements include:

• sensory-based sound bath and meditative immersion

• guided ritual and intentional ceremony

• trauma conscious yoga and body-based movement

• forest bathing and nature immersion

• sweetgrass braiding and cultural practice

• facilitated community dialogue and reflection

Each element supports regulation, presence, and access to internal and collective resources.

• recognizing how stress and trauma are held in the body
