The Witches & Warriors Retreat is a program for BIPOC poets and movement workers to learn, write, and dream together.
Bringing together the radical creativity of poets with the audacity and expertise of activists, this biennial retreat gathers poets and activists/organizers from across the Northeast and Mid Atlantic regions of Turtle Island. Activities include workshops, discussions, writing sessions with faculty, rest and play time, and a public reading. Fellows are asked to take what they learn at the retreat back to their communities through a public event or project, seeding new ideas for creative movement-building throughout our region.
This free retreat provides both nourishment and fire for those on the front lines of the multiple crises we face right now. And it’s deeply needed in this moment when organizers are stretched thin and poets and artists are looking for ways they can more effectively use their art to help create change. Renowned movement poets Danez Smith and Jamaica Osorio will mentor the participants and share their work and experiences.
