You are lovingly invited to partner with us in planting and growing a restorative healing community and ecosystem rooted in Decolonizing Relationality, Land Stewardship, and Liberationist Practices.
The Agape Center for Healing Arts is a space+time for collectivist, spiritually+grounded, transreligious, and land+wisdom practices. Our labor of love integrates healing arts from diverse traditions, ancient philosophies, movement practices, ecological learning, and decolonizing approaches to assist individual+community detox from systemic oppression and colonial conditioning, and to restore communal balance, harmonious connection, and joy with teeth.
Multiple retreats have already occurred, and a nonprofit was recently established on Lenni Lenape ancestral land (Philadelphia), operating in São Paulo and Santa Catarina, Brazil. Agape offers spiritual retreats, experiential workshops, and community development programs intentionally designed to be invitational, collaborative, inclusive, and transformative.

“The essence of capitalism is
to turn nature into commodities
and commodities into capital.The live green earth is
transformed into dead gold bricks,
with luxury items for the few
and toxic slag heaps for the many.”~Michael Parenti
