This rest retreat is for communities that are underrepresented in environmental justice professionals and community leaders at risk of burnout from combating racial and climate injustice. This three-day retreat will offer several optional low to medium-intensity activities for attendees to choose from each day. Together, attendees will spend time connecting with the outdoors, themselves, and each other.
