Self-Care is prioritizing yourself first. It is listening to your mind, body and spirit. It’s taking care of yourself on a daily basis. Self-love is vital for black women because too often taught are black girls taught to put everyone else’s needs before their own. As women, we tend to be nurturers and supporters by nature, but this nurturing and supporting of everyone else's welfare, can leave us feeling burnt out. The retreat is a chance to unwind from the stress that you may experience from everyday life. Sometimes we just need a reset button, without distractions just to connect back with ourselves in order to restore and rejuvenate.
We create an environment of family, connection and sisterhood. This is a settingwhere you can truly be yourself and fall in love with the women opening their hearts right beside you. Our highest intention is to support one another in birthing more love into the world. Everything we do is for Love.
Most of our participants attend the retreat solo and they meet new people at the retreat, sometimes the women attend with their friends or family while also meeting new people at the retreat.

ActivitiesYin Yoga Every morning the group will take a guided gentle and healing yin yoga class at the jungle house surrounded by the sounds of nature. Yin Yoga is a gentle slow-paced yoga, intended to allow the individual to tune into themselves through introspection, pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation and gentle yet challenging poses to ease the mind, body, and spirit. Yin yoga allows us to work with our feminine energy, and it targets parts of the body that yang yoga may not. Yoga works with the nervous system, so its not just spiritually but scientifically heals. With a consistent practice, yoga has been know to cure depression, anxiety and other chronic illness. Its an ancient practice and a form of healing. Meditation With a group of like minded women, you will explore self enlightenment, gratitude and inner peace. Silent Time There will be several periods of silent time during the retreat. This is a meditative retreat so we practice calmness and allowing ourselves to tune within. Medicinal Plant/Chocolate Tour Enjoy a medicinal plant tour led by a local medicine man.

Women of Color Self-Care Retreat is a vegan retreat, all meals are cooked with quality ingredients. Animal by products are not allowed within the retreat space , no exceptions. We provide delicious plant-based meals by our private vegan chef. As we abstain from animal by products in the kitchen, we also abstain from alcohol throughout the retreat. This abstinence will be in effect whether guests are in the retreat, or are enjoying some well needed personal time. When practicing self-love and healing the vessel should always be clean. Alcohol and wellness don't mix, in fact it is the complete opposite of self-care. Normally in black culture it is traditional to involve alcohol in everything but we have shifted the culture for the positive by providing black women an opportunity to be free of things that do not serve them during their journey with us. Our goal for the alcohol cleanse, is to keep the vibrations high so that you may have a meditative and restorative experience.
Self-Care is possessing enough self awareness to correct the behavior of over-functioning for others while under functioning for yourself.
