Konsènan Retreat la
YON RETIRE ENTÈJENERASYONÈL, PERYÒD .
Li se byen li te ye ke stigma kiltirèl ak mank de edikasyon règ ka lakòz laperèz ak wont pou ti fi kòmanse vwayaj règ yo nan menarche (ensidan nan premye peryòd la). Anplis de sa, gen fwaye ant jenerasyon kote paran yo ak fanmi ki pi gran yo te fè fas ak stigma peryòd ak kondisyon sante repwodiktif ki gen eksperyans an silans.
Love Your Menses' Menstrual Wellness Retreat se yon espas ki an sekirite ak gerizon pou tifi ak paran/gadyen yo pou angaje yo nan dyalòg enpòtan sou sante repwodiktif, pataje istwa peryòd, jwenn aksè a resous yo bezwen pou yo byen ak pwospere, ak bati sè.
Retrè sa a pral prezante:
Atelye Byennèt
Yoga / Meditasyon / Masaj
Oratè envite
Brunch & Dine
Aktivite Amizan
& PLIS TOUJOU!

Brimfield se yon ti vil nan Massachusetts Santral li te ye pou santiman ti vil li yo, lanati, ak pi gwo montre antik. Jis sitiye 60 mil de Boston, 43 mil de Hartford, ak 26 mil de Springfield, destinasyon sa a se sèlman yon èdtan oswa mwens kondwi lwen pi gwo vil ki tou pre.
Nan retrè sa a, ou pral rete nan yon bèl kay atizanal ki gen yon konsepsyon modèn louvri ak yon santiman cho fèm. Kay la koutim bati chita byen wo sou yon kornich ki bay sou ti mòn woule ak bèt yo pâturage. Rilaks epi jwi fre dra pwòp, chanm parfe nonmen ak anviwònman an trankil. Anbyans briyan an, Ospitalite zanmitay ak manje kwit lakay pral pote ou tounen ane apre ane.
Deyò trankilite
"Lè w pare pou yon souf lè fre w ap jwenn zèb vèt kaka kleren, flè kaprisyeuz ak yon gran galri devan. Rafrechi nan pisin lan oswa kouche nan solèy la cho sou patyo pave nou an. Sware ete yo bèl alantou men an. bati yon twou dife nan jaden."
Santi brikabrak
"Lè ou rete nan youn nan chanm yo, ou pral fè eksperyans cham ak favè sa a ki te fè kay sa a yon pi renmen nan mitan anpil envite satisfè. Chak chanm trè byen ekipe ak konfò ou nan tèt ou. Ak pi lwen pase chanm ou manti tout nan bèl zòn komen ki disponib pou fè sejou ou konsa detann ak agreyab."
Modèn Open Design
"Kè kay la se gwo kwizin nan peyi, prezante kabinèt faux fini, kontwa savon ak yon gadmanje. Rilaks alantou zile a uit pye oswa jwi yon repa fanmi nan tab la fèm fabrike men. Ki sa ki fè kay la tèlman espesyal se plan an gran louvri. Konsepsyon sa a pèmèt yon gwoup gade televizyon, youn jwe jwèt ak yon lòt jwi yon konvèsasyon long sou yon vè moxtails, tout nan distans gade youn ak lòt men separe ase pou kontinye ak aktivite endividyèl yo."

As a Puerto Rican woman who is married to a Black man and mother to three promising Black children and as a social justice activist in the community, this issue was personal to her. In the spring and summer of 2020, community members began reaching out to Tara to ask how they could support the Black community. A list of Black-owned businesses did not exist for the Cape region, and therefore, Tara created one as part of Amplify's first endeavour.
