A Space to Stay Connected

This is where the path will begin. Inside The Welcome Grove, you will find guiding lanterns: our community agreements, safety reminders, a map of the forest, and quiet check-ins from the guardians who help keep this space safe. If you ever feel lost or unsure, this grove will always be here to help you reorient and breathe.

Tucked within the trees, there will be three quiet trials—each one carved out for survivors of a specific path: sexual assault or harassment, domestic or dating violence, or stalking. Known as The Trail of Echoes, these spaces will offer music-inspired prompts and gentle reflection.

At the roots of a great listening tree, The Story Hollow will welcome your voice. Whether you speak in lyrics, lines, or silence, this space will hold survivor stories with care. Share your own when you are ready, or read the stories of those who came before.

In Thorn & Bloom, the garden will grow wild. Here, survivors will reflect on the connections that shaped them—family, friends, lovers, or chosen kin. This space will hold tangled roots and fresh blooms alike, and it will welcome honest conversation about boundaries, trust, heartbreak, and love in all its forms.

A small fire will glow at the heart of the forest. Emberlight will be a protected space for survivors reclaiming their relationship with the body. Here, you may explore sexuality, touch, desire, numbness, or autonomy—through story, music, or quiet reflection. This will not be a place of pressure, only permission.

Sometimes, even in the quietest forest, you need somewhere quieter still. The Still Clearing is a place to pause—when your breath shortens, your thoughts scatter, or the weight of the path grows heavy. Come here to ground, to reset, or simply to rest. You do not have to speak. You do not have to explain.

There will be a stone in the forest that hums with every song it’s touched. The Songstone will be a space to share the music that holds your feelings—whether it’s a playlist, a lyric, or a sound that helped you survive. No explanations are required. 

Inside The Hollow Refrain, survivors will leave fragments behind—unfinished lyrics, whispered melodies, verses that arrived in dreams. This will not be a critique space. It will be a soft place for raw work, musical emotion, and ideas still finding their shape.

Once a stronghold, now a place of gathering. Survivors will find one another in the ruins of what was—a shattered castle tucked deep within the forest, overgrown but still standing in its own way. Here, we will host circles, conversations, and special events.
