Oaxxanda Berry Creek: A Sanctuary for Renewal and Connection

Posted by

·

Nestled within the serene, unceded Konkow territory, Oaxxanda Berry Creek, in what is affectionately  known as Black Mountain, is a breathtaking 10-acre land development brought to life by the Oaxxanda Cooperative. This pristine landscape, enriched by a crystal-clear, flowing creek, is flourishing into a beacon of rejuvenation, learning, and sovereignty for our people.

A Place to Reconnect with Nature

A sanctuary where our community can gather, reflect, and heal—Oaxxanda Berry Creek is a safe and sacred space dedicated to:
🌿 Youth and community empowerment
 Survival skills & rites of passage
 Mindfulness & holistic well-being
 Restoration of ancestral traditions

Regenerative Agriculture: Reclaiming Our Birthright

Through the practice of permaculture and sustainable living, we are restoring our connection to the abundant Earth. Oaxxanda Berry Creek serves as a living laboratory where we cultivate food, hone essential skills, and reclaim our sovereignty—one harvest at a time.

Afro-Eco Village: A Vision in Progress

As we nurture this land, we are thoughtfully developing essential infrastructure, homesteading spaces, and tiny homes—each designed to harmonize with the natural environment. These additions will enrich our camping and retreat center, fostering long-term community engagement and healing.

A New Beginning: Welcoming You in 2025

The Oaxxanda Cooperative is delighted to share the upcoming grand opening of our camping and retreat center in Berry Creek, CA. Acquired in May 2023, this land bore the scars of the 2020 North Complex Fire, but through dedication and collective effort, we have been restoring its vitality.

With immense pride and essential help from Restorative Economies Fund and Repaired Nations, we have already:
✅ Installed a new well and septic system
 Built two cozy cabins
 Begun extensive dead tree removal & land restoration

We are working diligently to prepare for our grand opening in May 2025, where we will officially welcome our community into this sacred space of renewal, learning, and togetherness.

Join us as we build, reclaim, and celebrate the legacy of our ancestors while creating a thriving future for generations to come.
