Our Restorative Residency Experience for Leaders and Healers​
​
Many of the systems shaping our lives and work were never designed to sustain the people carrying them forward.
The Village creates space for leaders and healers to reconnect with themselves, deepen their restorative practices and strengthen how they lead in the midst of complexity and change.
​
Through intentional community, restorative practices and dedicated time for reflection, the Village supports participants in deepening restoration, strengthening connection and expanding their vision for themselves, their work and the future they are helping to shape.
The Village centers women and gender expansive leaders and healers of color working for progressive change and is intentionally inclusive of trans and queer folks of color within our broader community.
The Village Restorative Residency Experience
​The Restorative Residency experience is made up of five gatherings including:
-
3 online Restorative Vision Circles;
-

The Restorative Vision Circle series is the first step in the Village experience.
Through three virtual gatherings, Villagers create intentional space to pause, reflect and explore the patterns, practices and demands shaping their lives and leadership.
​
We also begin to share reflections, wonderings, challenges and opportunities with fellow Villagers, building trust and relationship.
​
Together, our community engages restoration, connection and visioning as leadership practices—deepening awareness, clarifying intentions and expanding how we resource ourselves in life and work.
The Liberatory Practice retreat is a week-long, in-person experience offering spacious time, access to nature, restorative practices and intentional community.
​
​The Village cultivates ways of knowing that have been diminished by systems built on speed, extraction and separation. Together, we explore restoration, connection and visioning through reflection, practice and shared experience. Nature serves as a partner and teacher, helping Villagers renew perspective, deepen awareness and expand what is possible for their lives and leadership.
​
At the heart of the gathering is agency—the freedom to shape a restorative journey aligned with your needs, questions and intentions. With space to slow down and reconnect with what sustains you, Villagers strengthen how they move forward in life and work.
The Restorative Integration Circle invites Villagers to pause, reflect and explore how restoration, connection and visioning are taking root in their lives and leadership following the in-person gathering.
​
Together, we reground in our intentions, share insights from our re-integration journeys and consider how we will continue cultivating practices that sustain us over time.
This gathering also provides an opportunity to connect with Villagers beyond your residency cohort and deepen your relationship with the broader Village Ecosystem.
Upon completion of the restorative residency experience, Villagers become part of the
Village Ecosystem which hosts ongoing opportunities to center restoration, connection
and visioning within our intentional community.
The Village residency changed the trajectory of my life. It allowed me to reconsider where I am in my purpose and most importantly, think about if I got swept up in the 'doing' of things. This residency allowed me to refocus my attention and recognize that my well-being is of value."​

The New Seneca Village team provides clarity on the distinction between Village leaders and healers to support potential Villagers in choosing the Villager offering that best resonates with them
in this moment.
For leaders navigating complexity and change
New Seneca Village creates restorative experiences for leaders and healers seeking space to reconnect with themselves, deepen their sense of purpose and strengthen how they lead in life and work.
Through intentional community, restorative practices and relationship with nature, Villagers expand what is possible for themselves, their work and their communities.
For practitioners who offer restorative practices
New Seneca Village recognizes that those who support the healing and growth of others also need space to restore, reflect and be supported in their own journeys.
Through a range of modalities and approaches, healers support Villagers to restore capacity, deepen awareness and reconnect to the possibilities available for themselves, their work and their communities.
Our residencies create opportunities for practitioners to deepen their own restorative practices, strengthen community and continue evolving their work.
