​Set against the tranquil backdrop of the Caribbean Coast, we orchestrated a 5-day wellness experience in June 2024, exclusively designed for Black women who were ready to grow through generational trauma, step outside of their comfort zones, and get clear about their desires in all areas of life. This initiative was more than a “retreat”; it's was an opportunity to provide a haven for Black women to release, reflect, renew, and rejoice.

This experience was dedicated to capturing and elevating the narratives of Black women whose stories are too often overlooked and silenced. By doing so, we not only offered a voice to Black women's experiences but also celebrated the arts as a vital element of individual and communal healing.


We successfully secured a private villa that served as the cornerstone of our healing environment.

The experiences of Black women are richly layered and complex, marked not only by individual stories but also by a collective history that continues to shape our lives today.

At the intersection of racism and sexism, Black women navigate a unique set of challenges that are often overlooked or minimized by society.

​This neglect stems from a historical context where Black women's feelings and well-being were systematically deprioritized, a legacy that persists in various forms.

Can we talk… for a minute?



​​​Despite these adversities, Black women remain the backbone of their communities, frequently putting the needs of others before their own.

This tendency towards selflessness is both admirable and a reflection of the roles Black women have been conditioned to assume.

It also highlights the importance of acknowledging and addressing the unique forms of grief and trauma that Black women experience.

The need for targeted healing and empowerment initiatives, like this wellness experience is where this work takes place.

The Wellness Experience

Remember to Breathe

Trauma and being silenced from a young age can profoundly impact a person's health, altering their breathing patterns. This suppression can cause maladaptive coping mechanisms like altered breathing, leading to chronic issues and increased anxiety, creating a cycle of stress.
This powerful practice uses controlled breathing techniques to improve mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Rest Is Revolutionary 

Because Black women deserve REST too!!!
In a world that glorifies busyness, participants of this wellness experience are invited to embrace the transformative power of rest.
Rest, especially for Black women is a revolutionary act  of resistance against a society that undervalues our well-being, challenging the stereotype of the “strong Black woman.”

The Healing Energy of Reiki

​Reiki provides a peaceful respite from the fast-paced world, particularly for Black women facing systemic and internal challenges, by promoting deep relaxation, stress reduction, and emotional healing; improving both mental and physical health. It offers a sanctuary for releasing suppressed emotions and finding balance, making it a crucial support system in navigating the complexities of emotional stress and physical conditions linked to stress and grief.

Sound Healing

Benefits include cellular rejuvenation, nervous system regulation, enhances mood, concentration and alertness. It improves emotional well-being and self-healing, reduces pain and inflammation, and decreases anxiety and depression.

Storytelling & Drama Therapy 

Storytelling and drama therapy are powerful creative outlets that allows us to explore and express emotions in a safe and structured environment. This form of therapy encourages participants to delve into personal narratives, facilitating a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. Additionally, it promotes emotional clarity and mental health by allowing individuals to reframe and work through their challenges, leading to increased resilience, empathy, and a greater sense of well-being.

Sacred Movement

Sacred movement provides significant benefits for Black women, serving as a method of healing, empowerment, and community engagement. It allows us to reclaim and celebrate our bodies; countering the scrutiny we often face. This practice enhances personal empowerment and confidence, essential for overcoming internal and systemic challenges.

In embracing this wellness journey, setting aside a day to give back to the community will be a heartfelt gesture of appreciation for the nurturing and vibrant energies that thrives on the Caribbean Coast.

This act of giving and receiving not only enables us to make meaningful contributions but also reiterates the significance of communal solidarity.

The Impact

​​To maximize the impact of this wellness experience, we adopted a strategy that involved pre and post-surveys to assess participants' emotional and mental states before and after the experience, helping quantify its benefits in healing and personal growth.

We've also documented this experience through journaling, photos, and video diaries to elevate the narratives of Black women and evidence of the events effectiveness. ​
