Hestia's Rest is Resistance BIPOC Scholarship Campaign

Dropping into the Fall Season: Cacao, Breathwork, and Sound Healing Ceremony

Fundraiser for Hestia’s Rest is Resistance Scholarship Campaign for more BIPOCs to rest on sacred lands

Sat, Nov 16

12pm-3pm

$44

Location: The Owls Nest is at Malibou Lake in Agoura Hills

Join us for a deeply restorative and intimate afternoon at the Owl’s Nest in Agoura Hills on Saturday, November 16.

This special cacao, breathwork, and sound healing ceremony is held by a gifted network of local BIPOC healers to bring our nervous systems back into balance and to rekindle our sacred connection to spirit.

Let’s take a collective pause together during this descent into the darker, slower rhythms of the fall season.

Dropping into a state of peace and groundedness in our hearts can have a profound, immeasurable ripple effect for our communities too! So come and practice self + community care with us on November 16.

Your participation supports our Rest is Resistance Scholarship Campaign to raise $250K for 100 BIPOC leaders in 2025 to take a weeklong rest in nature at Hestia Retreat Sanctuary in Mount Shasta, California and Big, Island, Hawaii.

Since 2014, Hestia has been a safe sanctuary for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color community activists, healers, and leaders to rest, rejuvenate, and dream on sacred land. Their mission is to grow a diverse, intergenerational community of people who are here to change the world by first investing in their own inner change.

In honor of Hestia’s ten-year anniversary this November, their goal is to exceed $1 million in scholarship funding by 2027, significantly increasing access for BIPOC folx from underserved, low-income communities to heal and transform in nature.
