What we’re about

SENTIENT IS A 4 DAY BODY JUSTICE RETREAT IN NATURE

Body Justice: The revolutionary act of extricating oneself from the perils of over 500 years of faulty societal, familial, cultural, political, religious and medical programming surrounding your body!

We offer a wide array of workshops and experiences which invite participants to embark on a journey of connection and empowerment. We partner with facilitators who are aligned with this vision as well as inspired about being an integral part of our Body Justice movement.

Ethical Nudity: A powerful blend of vulnerability & empowerment.

Many of our attendees embrace the unique option of being nude in nature – but we are by no means “anti-clothing”. Our retreat stands by its mandate of being clothing optional and nude neutral. Regardless of wearing clothes or not - we espouse your freedom to move at your own pace without undue pressure or harassment.

SENTIENT: Alert, Aware and Responsive

SENTIENT is a CONSENT FIRST retreat with an established set of community agreements that each participant is required to adhere to. You can learn about our agreements and expectations here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT-HqzLfw_M
