rooted & rested Residency

What to Expect

  • A Safe and Affirming Space: rooted & rested Experiences are designed exclusively for Cousins to foster a sense of belonging, safety, and shared understanding.

  • Holistic Healing Activities: Each Experience features activities like guided meditation, movement practices, journaling, and creative expression.

  • Cultural and Ancestral Grounding: We honor the ancestral wisdom and practices that have sustained our communities and incorporate these into every aspect of the Experience.

  • Community Connections: Build meaningful relationships with a collective of changemakers who share your vision for liberation and justice.

rooted & rested Residency is an immersive, restorative experience intentionally designed for nonprofit leaders of the global majority. Our Residency provide a sacred space to pause, heal, and reconnect with your purpose while prioritizing your well-being.

In a world that often demands endless productivity, we center rest as a radical act of resistance and renewal. Through intentional practices, cultural affirmation, and community care, our Residency help Cousins leave behind the grind and step into a space of restoration and possibility.

We believe rest is a right, not a privilege.

Scholarships are available to ensure accessibility for those who may need financial support. Information will be available soon.
