Nesscapades
1-DAY LOCAL EXPERIENCE
This one-day retreat invites BIPOC artists and activists to step into Vanessa’s legacy: a space of rest, play, and creative renewal. Designed to reflect her adventurous heart, the experience offers curated art engagements, nourishing meals, seamless transportation, and the freedom to reconnect with joy.
Offered in local communities around the United States, honoring the legacy of Vanessa (”Ness”) Little through art, community, and adventure. Nesscapades celebrates the vibrant spirit of Vanessa Little—artist, activist, and beloved community builder—who approached life with bold authenticity and boundless enthusiasm. Just as Vanessa wove connection through every journey, this gathering fosters kinship among those who create, advocate, and honor the beauty of living fully.

Replenish Retreat
3-DAY REGIONAL EXPERIENCE
To sustain the work of art and activism, we must first restore ourselves. The Replenish Retreat is a fully curated experience (excluding transportation) designed to reset overstimulated nervous systems through nature, embodiment, and intentional community. Over three days, engage in kayaking, forest hikes, and yoga to reconnect with your body’s wisdom. Evenings unfold with firelit storytelling and stargazing, while chef-prepared meals nourish both body and soul.
Communal dancing, emotional processing, meditation, and other modalities invite release—of tension, of creative blocks, of burdens carried too long. Here, rest is not luxury but birthright: nap in a hammock, linger by the lake, or simply exist without demands. This is a space to remember your intuition, forge bonds with kindred spirits, and return to your practice renewed.
