Welcome to C.A.R.E Wellness Center
The C.A.R.E. Wellness Center is a 501(c)3 charity founded in 2020 and based in Washington state. Christlike Agro-Tourism for Racial Equality (or C.A.R.E.) is tasked with developing safe, holistic spaces for people of color and allies of equality to retreat and combat effects of Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS). Our program focuses on self-mastery, and the holistic balancing of, what we call, The Holy Trinity: mind, body, and spirit.
C.A.R.E. is non-religious and non-denominational, while maintaining its roots in the lifetime journey to understanding, and acceptance with faith in unconditional love. Our techniques are universal, including principles found in Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and A Course In Miracles. Our mission is to foster inclusion of all people in a collaborated effort for inner peace; less ego, less fear, less guilt, and less shame.

Workshops
What if understanding yourself could change how you move through the world?
Our workshops help you uncover patterns, challenge limiting beliefs, and build practical tools for healing, self-mastery, and balance. Come ready to learn, reflect, and see yourself differently.
Self-Advocacy
Your voice was never meant to be silenced.
Learn to recognize your worth, honor your needs, set boundaries, and speak up with confidence. Self-advocacy is about taking your power back—one choice, one conversation, one boundary at a time.
Empowerment Retreat
You give so much to the world. When was the last time you gave yourself space to heal?
Step away from the noise and reconnect with your mind, body, spirit, and nature. Our retreat offers a safe space to breathe, reflect, release, and begin again—with greater peace and purpose.
Be Part of the Change
There’s more than one way to support healing and create new possibilities. Sponsor our work, partner with C.A.R.E., explore opportunities to get involved, or join us at an upcoming event. Together, we can help create pathways to wellness, growth, and a better future.
Healing Needs a Place to Happen.
Our Wellness Center is more than a space—it’s an environment designed to help you pause, heal, reconnect, and grow. Rooted in holistic wellness and community, C.A.R.E. creates room for restoration and transformation.
