A SPRING 4-DAY LEADERSHIP HEALING COHORT RETREAT.

Transforming Leadership Through Land as Medicine, Medicinal Nutrition & Holistic Reconciliation with the Self, Others and the Earth.

At Restore Forward, we believe that land is medicine , and that whole-person recovery is impossible without reconnecting our bodies, minds, spirits, and environments. Our Spring 4-Day Leadership Healing Cohort Retreat offers an immersive reconnection to self, purpose, land, and community for leaders who carry extraordinary responsibility in this era of burnout, ecological collapse, and institutional strain.

Leaders today are navigating unprecedented pressures: rising chronic illness, organizational crises, trauma saturation, mental fatigue, ecological grief, and the cumulative weight of systems in decline. Our planet is suffering ,  and our bodies are mirroring this imbalance. GMO foods, plastic toxins, polluted water, industrial stress, and extractive systems create chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, the underlying causes of autoimmune disease, cancer, cardiovascular challenges, anxiety, depression, and collective strain. 

Yet conventional approaches treat these issues in isolation, ignoring the deep environmental and social roots of harm.

This retreat offers a different path,  one grounded in regeneration, relationship, and ecological truth.

OUR CORE FRAMEWORK

1. Integrative Healing Pathways

We provide holistic, evidence-informed care that blends functional medicine, mental health, somatic healing, traditional practices, and naturopathic support. Leaders will experience:

• Metabolic and longevity assessments

• Nervous system regulation sessions

• Trauma-informed emotional processing

• Breathwork, movement, and restorative practices

• Plant-based ancestral foods

• Detox protocols for inflammation, oxidative stress & immune resilience

Our goal is to help leaders restore clarity, immunity, and internal equilibrium so that they can lead sustainably.

2. Land-Based Recovery & Ecological Stewardship

Healing begins in relationship with the Earth. Participants engage in:

• Forest immersion and somatic nature practices

• Ecological grief and resilience circles

• Herbal apothecary workshops

• Regenerative farming & seed stewardship

• Grounding rituals, water ceremonies, and ecological restoration practices

Leaders will leave with a deeper understanding that ecological health and human health are inseparable, and that their work must reflect that truth.

3. Community-Led Infrastructure & Cooperative Care

We introduce leaders to models that reimagine institutional culture, community health, and resource stewardship. Sessions include:

• Cooperative governance practices

• Collective resource design

• Restorative conflict transformation

• Organizational trauma first aid

• Mutual-aid health strategies

• Community ownership and distributed care models

  
  

This track helps leaders shift from scarcity-based, burnout-driven cultures to regenerative, cooperative ecosystems of care.

Over four days, cohort members will be held in an intentionally designed healing environment featuring:

• Beautiful land-integrated accommodations

• Nourishing, plant-forward meals

WHY THIS MATTERS

We live in a time when leaders are asked to carry more than any single person can hold ,  while navigating systems that harm both people and the planet. Healing leaders are healing institutions. Healing institutions are healing communities. Healing communities is healing the Earth.

This retreat is an invitation to step into a new paradigm: one where healing and leadership are inseparable, where land is medicine, and where the Earth becomes a partner in our transformation.
