Eartheaven is a psychophysical sanctuary in the Catskills, NY—a collectively operated regenerative farm, residence, and gathering space. We are dedicated to collective liberation through BIPOC-centered care work, creative practices, workshops, and the cultivation of traditional plant medicines from the postcolonial diaspora. In addition to BIPOC-centered programming, we create space for all people to reflect on their ancestors, deciding what to carry forward and what to leave behind, while collaborating on new frameworks for coexistence.

Activation Residency is a satellite artist residency known for its restorative programming. The residency is dedicated to creating opportunities for artists to receive care, connect, and nurture transient realities in natural environments. Primarily taking place in the forests of the Catskill mountains, the residency program is designed to enrich artists’ experience of gathering around peer-led knowledge sharing and creative practice.

Activation Residency is fiscally sponsored by New York Foundation for the Arts and is eligible for tax-deductible donations.

As land forward woven futures, we are passionate about using our skills to bring people together around creative and caring conditions.
