Where Rest Fuels 
TRANSFORMATION

​The B.E.ST. Robin’s Nest 501(c)(3)(formation pending) is a sanctuary where rest fuels transformation for individuals and families navigating trauma, transition, and systemic neglect. Rooted in ancestral wisdom and radical care, we provide healing, support, and skill-building to help people rebuild with dignity and purpose.

Robin’s Nest is named for three matriarchs: Beatrice, Ethel, and Robin, whose legacy of strength, care, and spiritual wisdom lives on in this work. This social, physical and spiritual sanctuary was built in their honor and designed to hold those the world often forgets: foster youth, single parents, returning citizens, survivors, caregivers, and grieving families.

Founder's Note

The B.E.ST. Robin’s Nest is a sanctuary for those who have been stretched thin by survival or oppression and deserve a safe space to heal, rest, and rebuild. Rooted in the legacy of three powerful matriarchs who understood that real healing takes time, our community-centered nonprofit provides housing, healing, and holistic support for people navigating trauma, transition, and systemic neglect.​

​

At The Nest, participants can take the time they need to grieve, create, reconnect, and grow. Whether they’re learning new skills, tending to the land, working on an ancestry project, or simply sitting in silence, every person who enters this space is seen as whole, worthy, and enough.

​

This is more than a program, this is a movement. A soft place to land. A sacred place to rise. While we secure funding and partnerships for this movement, we invite you to peruse the website of our partner, Learning With Lincoln, LLC, here.
