About the Village
New Seneca Village (Village) is a restorative residency experience that invites leaders and healers to access expansive resources (time, space, access to nature, restorative practices, intentional community and higher consciousness) for the sake of nourishing and sustaining their collective visioning for a just future.
We center Black, Indigenous, women of color working toward justice and are intentionally inclusive of trans, gender expansive, and queer folks of color within our broader community.
You can learn more about our work via the annual updates below.
New Seneca Village entered its fifth year in 2026, a milestone that marks sustained momentum and growing impact.
This year we’re launching an ambitious fundraising campaign to realize our Legacy Vision and secure the next chapter of our transformative work.
This role is integral to amplifying and resourcing our work as we scale.
Criteria for Success
New Seneca Village is a small team made up of proactive, engaged and spiritually aligned team members. We know that holding a container for restoration and transformation requires presence, intention and a rigorous attention to detail.
Successful candidates for this leadership role must be able to actively contribute to a high-functioning and scaling work environment that holds collaboration, intention and accountability as foundational to our success.
This experience seemed to be crafted with such intention, care, love, and thoughtfulness. The location was beautiful, off the ocean, surrounded by green spaces, delicious meals, and delightful spaces, and prompts to support the questions and conversations I enjoyed being in before, during, and afterwards. Thank you for this life changing opportunity.
