This is all about you!!! We want youth to have a weekend to themselves enjoying great food, raw conversation, laughter and relaxation.
Rise and Shine Youth Retreat is a dream getaway! We created a full weekend for you to take a fulfilling vacation all on your own. Support Black Liberation for Black people in Maine and beyond. A place where people of color explore the woods and not feel like we are on white territory. We provide a space for folks to awaken their senses, a place for gathering, a place that embraces our diverse cultures, a place where we can embrace the ways that we speak without code switching. Our mission is to foster meaningful relationships between Black people and nature through cooperative living, wellness retreats, residences, and outdoor exploration/celebration. Rise and Shine Youth Retreat highlights the voices and responds to the emotional needs, creativity and well being of Black, Indigenous, People of Color.
