Support the Bent Birch Movement Retreat Center

To our beloved community of activists, artists, healers, cultural workers, facilitators, dreamers, behind the scenes weavers,

In a time calling for both courage and clarity, places of refuge like Bent Birch are essential. We've set an ambitious fundraising goal of $50,000 by December 31, 2024. A successful year-end fundraising campaign will ensure that we can tend to the critical repairs and provide our community a safe, healthy, welcoming space for years to come. Will you join us in building Bent Birch’s foundation for the long haul?

The Bent Birch Retreat Center is manifesting a long-held vision by leaders in the region – for a gathering place where we can rest, heal, learn, and dream together on sacred lands and in natural beauty.

Through our community and our connection to the land, we’re learning how to steward a retreat center that supports us in building a more just and resilient world. As we prepare for the next phase, we remain grounded in our collective vision and committed to getting into right relationship with all that this project touches. Your donation will help lay the essential groundwork for a sustainable future.

We’re grateful to be realizing this dream alongside you, knowing that together we’re building something meant to endure and to sustain our communities on the long journey to freedom. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the land soon, and until then:

May we find moments of rest and grounding amidst the chaos. May we continue to uplift, support, and protect one another—no matter what lies ahead.

With warmth and gratitude,
