Desert Discoveries:
A Retreat for Self-Love, Joy, & Rejuvenation

Step into a sanctuary of healing, vulnerability, and self-discovery at our Black and Brown women’s personal reverence retreat. This therapeutic retreat is thoughtfully crafted for those seeking not just rest but also deep emotional excavation and holistic restoration rooted in self-devotion, inner nurturing, and authentic connection.  

 

So many experiences separate us from ourselves. We may struggle with acceptance, forgiveness, self-compassion, and self-accountability. Embrace the desert with two psychotherapists as we guide, support, and facilitate various workshops and nurturing activities that support reflection, introspection, connection, release, and wound repair.

In your daily life, you are tasked with endless responsibilities, routines and commitments. For 3 days, we want to give you the option to let that go. From waking up until nighttime rest, we have wellness activities that you can choose to opt into.

 

We offer you a space of rest and reconnection to yourself. We offer you the opportunity to examine what love of self means to you. The retreat is a restorative opportunity to love on yourself from the inside out. We have intentionally crafted this experience to engage your mind, body and spirit.

Why attend this retreat?

01

Reclaim Self-Love and Self-Acceptance

This retreat is a sanctuary for rediscovering and reclaiming self-love, specifically designed to help you embrace self-acceptance and compassion. Through journaling, guided introspection, and joy-centered activities, you’ll reconnect with your inner self and honor your unique journey.

02

Experience a Culturally Affirming, Transformational Space

Created by and for Black and Brown individuals, this retreat is more than a getaway; it’s an intentional space where participants can show up authentically, embraced by facilitators who understand and celebrate their cultural backgrounds. This is a rare opportunity to experience transformation in an environment where your identity, experiences, and heritage are not just acknowledged but uplifted.

03

Led by Black and Brown Women

The retreat is thoughtfully led by Black and Brown women who bring their lived experiences, cultural wisdom, and ancestral knowledge to every activity. Their guidance ensures that each element of the retreat—from community-building to healing practices—resonates on a deeper, culturally attuned level, fostering a powerful and nurturing environment.

04

The Sacred Energy of Joshua Tree

Joshua Tree, with its sacred landscape and rich history, has long been recognized by Indigenous and marginalized communities as a place of healing and spiritual awakening. Its vast desert expanse, tranquil ambiance, and iconic rock formations create an ideal setting for grounding, self-reflection, and connection with the natural world. The land itself amplifies the intentions of healing, making it an ideal space for renewal and clarity.

05

Community and Connection

Gather with like-minded individuals who understand the shared experiences, joys, and challenges of being Black and Brown. In a world where authentic representation is scarce, this space offers the rare gift of connecting within a shared, uplifting community. Together, you’ll create lasting memories, form genuine connections, and leave feeling part of a supportive network.

06

Holistic Nourishment and Wellness

With chef-prepared meals, holistic wellness practices, and thoughtful activities, every part of the retreat is crafted to nurture and refresh your mind, body, and soul. You’ll leave with tools, insights, and the renewed sense of clarity to carry your well-being practices forward into daily life.
