Recharge
When you’re depleted from having to constantly rise above marginalization, step off the treadmill into a sanctuary where you can simply BE without explanation.
THE MOST POWERFUL RETREAT FOR WOMEN OF COLOR LEADERS
What are you claiming this year?
You are a leader of your community, organization, family and/or sister circle. You live in many roles simultaneously, from visionary to innovator to caregiver to financial planner to peace keeper… and more. You’re on the frontlines, behind the scenes, in the trenches and in the boardroom.
With so many things on your plate it may feel counterintuitive to slow down… but you know that in order for you to continue to lead and serve you must pause and take time to recharge and replenish. This is a must.
Your spiritual, physical and mental wellness is non-negotiable.
Together, We rise
So often we show up in places and find we are the “only”. The only woman, the only person of color, the only woman of color…
The In Her Power New Year retreat is specifically for bold & soulful Women of Color Leaders who are working towards systemic change that transforms economic, race, and gender inequity.
We know what’s possible when extraordinary women all gather in one place, in service of our individual and collective healing.
In Her Power leaders are bold. Purpose-driven. Generous. Wise.
This is about creating a web of real support, so you know that wherever you go and lead you have a powerhouse team of sisters at your back.
Replenish
Our retreat experiences and practices are designed to hydrate and nourish the corners of your mind, body and soul. You give frequently, without hesitation—allow the experience to pour into you.
Reflection
It can be hard to reprogram our mindsets. Together we’ll make sacred space of inhalation and exhalation to enhance how you lead and live in your power.
Resilience
We can transcend the terrain of this world by cultivating depth of our healing power—ancestrally, individually and collectively.
DESTINATION
Salvador da Bahia, Brazil
Welcome to the Soul of Brazil.
Salvador da Bahia, the first capital of Brazil, dances to its own rhythm. Known as the soul and heart of Brazil, this city will draw you in with the beat of its drums, and the aromas and flavors of its undeniable African heritage.
This rich land inspires you to draw upon your very own richness… and use that potential to renew, recharge, and reflect. This is the energy that will help us all call in the New Year (and new worlds) that we desire and release what no longer serves.
“Each time a woman stands up for herself without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.”
—Maya Angelou
