Equal parts woodland, floodplain wetland and pastureland, The Respite is a rare alluvial forest on a tributary of the
Tar River in the Piedmont of North Carolina.
Stewarding 23 acres of Occaneechi Saponi land, we welcome nature-based immersion for artists, healers, cultural and frontline organizers taking time for restful resistance.
“The Respite is more than a retreat location. The Respite is alive, serving as a compassionate facilitator and nourishing haven for folks. The work I’ve done with white folks around anti-racism and spirituality has been greatly influenced by this place. ”
