About this Event

Remembering. Reconnecting. Reclaiming.

Black women have a rich history and connection to nature, but for many of us, that connection has been interrupted. As we navigate the busyness of our lives, balancing our roles as caretakers, community leaders, executives, mothers, aunties, entrepreneurs, creatives, friends and so much more, it's easy to lose touch with the spaces that nourish us most. Nature offers us a chance to slow down, gain clarity and receive wisdom that we can carry into our everyday lives. Despite a common narrative, that Black women “don’t do nature”, we know the truth; we’ve always belonged here.

We invite you to join Black Women in Nature for the launch of Black Girl Belong: Reclaiming Our Space in Nature, for an immersive 8-week series focused on mindfulness, environmental awareness and ancestral connection to nature. This is your invitation to come home to nature–and to yourself.


What is Black Girl Belong?

Black Girl Belong: Reclaiming Our Space in Nature is an 8-week intergenerational cohort experience designed to reconnect Black women to the expansive healing and holistic benefits of nature. Through a blend of mindfulness strategies, nature-based education and outdoor skillbuilding, participants are invited to deepen their relationship with the land and themselves.

This 8-week series will include:

  • Guided hikes and immersive outdoor experiences
  • Facilitated sessions led by BWIN leaders and guest speakers
  • Reflective dialogue, journaling and creative writing prompts
  • Placement in thoughtfully curated small groups aligned with your personal intentions
  • Guided yoga, meditation and mindfulness sessions
  • Fresh, chef-prepared meals to nourish your body and spirit
  • A vibrant community ready to connect, share and grow with you!

This 8-week series is a cohort based program. Participants are expected to attend all sessions. See program dates and schedule at a glance below:
