Mission Statement
To provide a safe farm stay, holistic retreat and wellness program to combat Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome by focusing on Spirituality, AgroTourism, and Racial Justice.
Description
The C.A.R.E. Wellness Center is a 501(c)3-approved nonprofit organization founded in 2020 and based in Washington state. Christlike Agro-Tourism for Racial Equality (or C.A.R.E.) is tasked with developing safe, holistic spaces for people of color and allies of equality to retreat and combat effects of Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS). Our program focuses on self-mastery, and the holistic balancing of, what we call, The Holy Trinity: mind, body, and spirit.
C.A.R.E. is non-religious and non-denominational, while maintaining its roots in the lifetime journey to understanding, and acceptance with faith in unconditional love. Our techniques are universal, including principles found in Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and A Course In Miracles. Our mission is to foster inclusion of all people in a collaborated effort for inner peace; less ego, less fear, less guilt, and less shame.
Our first pilot program, the C.A.R.E. Summer Re-Entry Program (SREP), is a research program to serve young BIPOC adults after incarceration at no/low cost to help them reintegrate into their communities and avoid recidivism.
We are still in our development stages and in search of professionals/students who can strengthen our foundation.
