Women of color need spaces to come together, listen to each other deeply, rest and grow community. We are in a moment of feeling the collective future in us. This is a moment to go beyond self-care and create collective-care by coming together.

We may feel overwhelmed by our work and the stresses of our lives. We can easily fill our time in ways that don’t take us into our wholeness, our power, and our joy.

The question is: How are we making space for our own freedom?

This retreat will be an intentional space in which we can explore healing together, with room to talk, play, move, reflect and learn from each other. We will be in nature and dream together while we rest and eat healthy delicious meals.

We want to make sure that women are able to participate in this event regardless of ability to pay.  Please support our scholarship fund or let us know if you need scholarship support.  Resources will be distributed on a first-come basis.

Give yourself this gift and join us in joyful community!
