Kickback and Relax with Journey ONEderland at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens
and Sunday, October 25th • 10am – 5pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOCATION: Boothbay, ME
Our Annual Kickback At The Gardens is a space for rest, rejuvenation, replenishment, reconnection and remembrance. We’re delighted to partner with the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens (CMBG), artists, wellness practitioners, and local chefs/caterers of the Global Majority to offer a free, relaxing, and family-friendly weekend experience. This event is a multicultural gathering–centering and uplifting Black, Brown, Indigenous people and other people of culture and their mixed families.
This event is made possible with dedication and generous support from our collective team and our community of funders, donors, sponsors, and beloved collaborators and partners. We look forward to sharing a moment with you in the gardens!
Saturday is intended to be spacious and fun. Roam the garden trails at your own pace or hop on a golf-cart tour. Receive a massage, experience a yoga therapy session, connect with our amazing collaborators, meet new people and share sweet time with beloved community members. Indulge at the art stations and contribute to our community altar, check out the trolls and enjoy the deliciousness served fresh off the grill. There will be live drumming, singing, and dancing into the evening, so make sure you stretch!
Sunday is a Day of Remembrance & Honoring Our Ancestors. Together we will tend to our grief and gratitude. We’ll share traditions and ways we remember our loved ones. There will be time for circle, prayers, and offerings. Nourishing food will be provided and invitations to share songs and poetry.
