A Place for the World
to Recover
Our Mission
Our mission is to advance a pedagogy of well-being and steward the journeys where people can be seen, held and heard by each other and the Earth. With two flagship centers, Restore Forward offers both a sanctuary for healing and a site to repair harm, where all people can achieve wholeness.

Our Centers
Restore Forward anchors its work in two connected Centers that make health, healing, and connections to the Earth possible in a joyful community with more than 150 partners and allies.
Reconciliation Center
The Reconciliation Center is a site for repairing harm. The Center builds on a vision for holistic reconciliation and our understanding of healing across individual connection, family and human relationships. Through this center we blueprint every community’s capacity to repair harm. Working with land, space and nature, we bring people together to create paths to peace and reconciliation.
Black Women's Blueprint
Black Women’s Blueprint is the sanctuary for the protection of Black women’s sovereignty and dignity. The Center empowers Black women, girls, and gender-fluid people to advocate for human rights and to secure gender and racial justice through the eradication of sexual violence, and through access to full-spectrum reproductive health services.
