Let me start by saying this -
Just because the summer is over doesn't mean the opportunity to travel has ended. As Black Women, we are overlooked, overworked, and underserved. The American culture is a treadmill of constant grind, unending competitiveness, and separation of communities.
It is no wonder that our physical and mental health suffers.
Our spiritual and mental health has taken a back burner. Finding balance, and finding ourselves has become an unreachable goal. I have discovered rejuvenation through self-care, meditation, and nature. Through the retreat communities made by these amazing Black Women, I hope you find reset, rest, and inner peace.
Rooted for the Revolution
Embodied Black Girl is an in-person and online space to transform the mental and emotional BIPOC women. I enjoyed the Reclaiming Rage by Jennifer Mulllan. The podcast dives deep into anger and how it is an expression of protection.
OMNoire creates a space for you to take ownership of the vision you have for your life, and provide you with the tools to grow beyond what you ever imagined.
It is a Black Woman-owned and operated yoga retreat. Christina M. Rice the founder of OMNoire retreat says she strives to "...create spaces for women to thrive." On her journey to become a licensed yoga instructor, she did not see representation of us in the wellness space. Retreats are in South America, Africa, and the Caribbean.
Embodying Femininity, Travel, Well-Being, & Healing
Black Women Healing retreat is a chance to connect with your carefree feminine side. A space to enjoy nature, yoga, and go within. It is without question the time spent at the retreat will create a new identity and help you find a sisterhood.
The owner of Black Women Healing Retreat said it best, "I prioritized resting in my feminine energy over capitalism, and in return, I found complete bliss, optimal health, high quality of life and peace, something materialism could never buy."
I have only been to one retreat and I continue to reap the benefits of putting myself and mental health first. I hope to see you at one of the retreats soon.
