Liminal Spaces Retreat: A Strategic Planning and Resilience Workshop for the City of Flagstaff Sustainability Team 🌿

Liminal Spaces All-Day Retreat for the City of Flagstaff, Arizona 

In today’s rapidly changing world, professionals working at the intersection of sustainability and climate change often face a unique set of challenges. Tightening budgets, shifting political landscapes, and the emotional toll of tackling environmental and social justice issues can create an overwhelming sense of uncertainty. For the City of Flagstaff’s Sustainability Team, this one-day retreat is specifically designed to help staff step away from the pressures of daily responsibilities, find clarity, and recharge both personally and professionally.

On August 22, 2025, the Resilient Activist team will host a transformative retreat at Camp Colton that will offer Flagstaff’s Sustainability Team the opportunity to reconnect, rejuvenate, and reignite their passion for sustainability. Set amidst the peaceful backdrop of nature, the retreat will combine nature-based meditations, enneagram assessments for self-reflection, and strategic planning exercises to support the team’s work moving forward.

This offsite retreat provides a much-needed sanctuary for healing, reflection, and connection. It’s designed as a space for team members to pause, reflect, and find grounding in the face of uncertainty. With facilitated mindfulness practices and group discussions, participants will explore how to navigate the emotional complexities of their work and cultivate resilience, both individually and as a team.

Led by The Resilient Activist team, the retreat will provide tools to overcome eco-anxiety and burnout while fostering collaboration and clarity of purpose. Together, the group will create actionable strategies for strengthening their collective impact and charting a path forward in their sustainability efforts.This event reflects the ongoing work of The Resilient Activist in supporting sustainability teams and organizations through transformative experiences that promote well-being, strategic clarity, and long-term resilience.

These practices will support your journey toward emotional resilience, helping you process grief, stress, and eco-anxiety while gaining clarity and strength for continued action in the fight for environmental justice.

Participants will bring a sack lunch, designed with zero waste principles in mind.
