About Us
Restore Forward is a cooperative, land-based healing and reconciliation entity launched by Black Women’s Blueprint, a 501 c(3) Black Feminist organization. Restore Forward holds the greater vision of advancing well-being and stewarding journeys where people can be seen, held, and heard by each other.
Located on 300 acres in upstate New York, Restore Forward designs and delivers its land-based healing program, farm programs, crisis intervention and mental health services, reproductive health services, retreats, and its transformational Institute offerings.

Restore Forward weaves ancestral and traditional methods of healing: for the Earth itself as we restore the land, for each other as we restore broken relationships, and for ourselves as we rebalance connection, at a time when our world feels more fractured than ever.
