A: New Seneca Village exists to create a nurturing and sacred practice space and community of leaders and healers who are deeply connected to their inner wisdom, recognize the transformative power of restoration, connection and visioning and are committed to strengthening this connection as an essential part of their leadership in life and work.
We envision a space where Villagers are fortified in their purpose and vision, leading from a place of sustained and nourished leadership. Through the Village experience, leaders and healers center abundant resources — time, space, connection to nature, restorative practices, intentional community and higher consciousness.
Our intention is to accompany Villagers who are actively engaging in their own restorative journeys— leaders and healers who are ready to deepen their restorative practices and lead with greater purpose and vision for the sake of our collective futures.
A: Villager feedback is essential to co-create the Village restorative residency experiences, evolve our offerings and further define (and fundraise for) the intentional community of New Seneca Village. Surveys help to inform the design of future residencies and the Village project at large.
We ask Villagers for approximately 4 to 6 hours to provide feedback through surveys and possibly interviews because we know that their input is invaluable in ensuring that the Village continues to thrive and meet the needs of all those involved.
A: We are glad you asked!
Our Legacy Vision is to acquire land and develop a permanent retreat center to support our community in perpetuity within an environment designed for them.
We would like to be responsive to our Villagers restorative wants and to support long-term sabbaticals, multi-week group residencies or long weekends, in addition to the current New Seneca Village restorative residency experience offerings.
Our Legacy Vision will be community driven (land trust run by Villagers and native folks whose land we are on) and committed to the mission of restoration, connection and visioning, as well as land stewardship.

New Seneca Village Testimonials
This was different than any other retreat space that I had been to.
The fact that it was cultivated intentionally and dedicated to WOC, nonbinary people of color and intergenerational exchange - all amongst people whose lives are working for racial justice and liberation - is a powerful combination.
I was surprised at what is possible when we create flexible and open containers for play and rest. I was surprised that we were encouraged not to center talking about work! What a relief.
I was delighted at the moments of laughter and the ways that folks were drawn into rites of passage and letting go in many ways.
