If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.

TONI MORRISON

As children, we often allow our imagination to run free.

We dream. We believe.
We show up fully.

Somewhere along the way, the complexities and responsibilities of life into adulthood can silence the adventurer within us. 

What would happen if we invited ourselves to tap back into that childlike energy? What might it feel like to become the author of our lives and REIMAGINE our stories? To recreate what’s possible for our lives?

Join Black Women In Nature in Hocking Hills, Ohio on October 6th–8th for a three-day retreat engaging in sisterhood, relaxation, and mindful movement while embraced in the beauty of Mother Nature.
