What We Do
We are committed to respecting life; understanding and appreciating the purpose of each living thing, regardless of species, race, religion, ethnicity, origin, sex, gender, or any other βlabel'β given to oppress authenticity.
Although in its early stages of development, C.A.R.E. is commissioned to develop wellness programs, safe and inclusive lodging experiences in AgroTourism, where BIPOC community can retreat and experience healing for mind, body, and spirit.
Our mission has already touched so many lives who have made (re)commitments to serve on the side of LOVE and reject their ego in order to heal. The pursuit of self-actualization is a rocky road far less traveled, and perpetually denied to a people as worthy and deserving as any other.
AgroTourism is a beautiful way to introduce travelers and BnB guests to farm retreats, spiritual centers, and educate others on the significant impacts of gardening/farming, climate, sustainability, Permaculture, and nature therapy. C.A.R.E. is raising awareness for the trauma that white supremacy perpetually inflicts on the BIPOC community, and supporting its community by working to develop healing spaces for BIPOC community and Changemakers to retreat. Our goal is to practice Agrotourism, not only to experience the privilege of rest and peace, but also for climate justice and the high value of spiritual rehabilitation for scarred people. There are many people who need your support to share this transformative experience. We hope to gain your support in empowering sufferers of trauma to participate in BIPOC-centered wellness programs that address BIPOC-specific challenges.
REST IS RESISTANCE.

We bring awareness to the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences, Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome, and Chronic Toxic Stress to BIPOC community, and the necessity for healing. This is an ongoing issue that effects the economy, the climate, mental and physical health, and collective consciousness, however, often is overlooked due to deep-rooted misinformation and White supremacy.
