2025 BYC Ptown Fall Retreat

October 10–13, 2025 | John Randall House, Provincetown, MA
Rested. Rooted. Real.

This fall marks the 5th Annual BYC Ptown Fall Retreat, and we’re returning to the coast with deep gratitude, intention, and love. The Blackyard Collective invites Black queer and trans people in recovery to step away from the noise and into a weekend of rest, reflection, and reconnection. Held at the beautiful John Randall House in Provincetown, this retreat is about soft landings, deep care, and being surrounded by people who understand.

We’re creating a space where you don’t have to explain yourself. Where your healing, your joy, your silence, and your laughter are all welcome. Whether you're craving nature, new community, or just a break from the constant grind—this weekend is for you.

We’ll spend our days hiking, biking, eating, dancing, and people-gazing—while making space for reflection, connection, and spiritual transformation. Come slow down, breathe deep, and be nourished by the rhythms of rest and community.
