SUMMARY:Radical Hope in the Woods
DESCRIPTION:Image: 400-year-old Live Oak at the Whitney Plantation in New Orleans. Photo by Ashley Cullen-Williams\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRadical Hope in the Woods\n\n\n\nRadical Hope in the Woods is a restorative\, community-centered experience designed to reconnect the Black community to the land\, to one another\, and to the wisdom carried in our bodies and stories. Held on the sacred grounds of Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods\, this gathering invites participants to slow down\, breathe deeply\, and remember that healing is both personal and collective. \n\n\n\nWe will begin with a guided walk and talk through the forest—an intentional experience that blends reflection\, folklore\, storytelling\, and connection. As we move along the trails\, we’ll explore themes of radical hope\, resilience\, and belonging\, grounding ourselves in nature while honoring the histories and experiences of our ancestors. This is not a hike for distance\, but a journey inward and together. \n\n\n\nFollowing our time in the woods\, we will gather for a family-style Sunday dinner—a shared meal rooted in care\, nourishment\, and community. \n\n\n\nCome as you are. Leave grounded\, connected\, full\, and reminded that radical hope can be cultivated together with the outdoors.  \n\n\n\n\nregister\n\n\n\n\nRadical Hope in the Woods is supported by Healing Illinois. Healing Illinois is a racial healing initiative of the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) and the Field Foundation of Illinois.
