Invest in Healing-Centered Leadership for Educators

Return to the River: The Sweetgrass Path is a restorative leadership retreat created for women of color in higher education and community-facing roles. Taking place August 27–29, 2026, at Cedarbrook Lodge in SeaTac, Washington, this gathering centers healing, reflection, and preparation for the academic year ahead.

Sponsorship is an opportunity to invest in educator wellness, leadership sustainability, and equity-centered professional development, at a time when burnout, retention challenges, and emotional fatigue are deeply impacting schools and institutions nationwide.
