COMMUNITY CARE & REPAIR SPACE

Leaders and organizers of color across the environmental movement are experiencing interpersonal burnout in ways that are limiting our collective ability to confront the climate crisis. To address this, we offer resources for care and repair.

The Community Care & Repair Space is for individuals seeking community within the climate movement. We will support you in assessing your need and strategizing your next, best move, including paid sabbaticals, retreat opportunities for teams, and tools to develop internal policies of rest practice.

 

care TO repair retreat

An in person space for advocates, activists, organizers and leaders to practice rest collectively and to interrogate the harm of the present day work culture. We gathered for our first retreat in spring ‘22. Read a overview of the retreat from our friends at ATMOS here.

Retreat Testimonials

  • "The climate crisis stretches the juxtaposition of planetary urgency with issues of sustainability for those of us in the ecosystem of movements and organizations working for climate justice. CCE is the laboratory cooking up methods, solutions, concoctions, and spells for holistic sustainability in this work. The process is so experiential that I couldn’t quite grasp it until I was at the retreat and in the lab. The potential here is incredible."

    Aya de Leon

  • "The first Care to Repair retreat set an incredible precedent for how we can invest in care and healing for Black women at the level that we need, and incorporate deep reflection and relationship building that sustains our ongoing work."

    Brandy Brooks

  • "It has taken me a while to wrap my mind around what CCE is doing, because it is so meta and profound. In the 90s, I went to an event and I heard the following phrase: ‘I want to find rest in the work not just rest from the work.’ It has stayed with me all this time."

  • "Because of structural racism and sexism, we know that if women of color and specifically Black women can thrive in a community, then it’s likely that everyone can. So the decision to prioritize Black women in CCE is not only a move for justice, it is crucial to the process of applicability for all."
