Online Self Care and Healing retreat for black women and women of colour
4th April 10.30 am to 12.30 pm
Join this nourishing retreat, a sacred pause to reclaim rest, healing, and your wholeness.
In a world that so often asks us to be strong, resilient, and self-sacrificing, this is your invitation to soften. To exhale. To be held.
Together, we will experience deep relaxation and meaningful renewal.
This session will include gentle, body positive yoga, deeply relaxing meditations, and intentional space for reflection and learning.
Every practice is offered with care, accessible, affirming, and rooted in the belief that your body is worthy exactly as it is.
Through powerful, honest conversations, we will explore how to care for ourselves more intentionally, caring for body, mind, and spirit, while gently unpacking and rewriting the harmful stereotypes that leave us feeling exhausted and never “enough.”
Here, we practice being at home in our own skin.
We honour our softness as strength.
We nurture ourselves without guilt.
Together, we begin to loosen the grip of racism and sexism on our nervous systems. Together, we remember that caring for ourselves is not selfish, it is powerful.
Come as you are. Leave feeling restored, affirmed, and reconnected to your truth.

"All parts of the day were stimulating, validating and rejuvenating to the mind, body and spirit in ways I have not experienced in other 'holistic' settings - but have been always seeking. What a lovely experience. I've been talking about it all week. I've been wanting to experience the BIPOC retreat for some time, and was so glad I could make this one! The intention they've poured in is apparent and appreciated. Thank you both." Destinee Desiree |

”The retreat allowed me to reconnect with myself in a way that I hadn’t in such a very long time. I was able to take time to pause, breathe and listen to my body and mind. It was wonderful being surrounded by women that looked and sounded like me that had a similar mindset. I hope to attend a future session.” Monique |

"Being a part of the day retreat was such a wonderful experience. Practicing yoga, meditation and learning together in this supportive and healing space with likeminded folk left me feeling energised and inspired. What a joyful way to practice care for ourselves." Noemie Djossou "Attending the retreat was the start of my healing journey and helped me to focus on my mental and physical wellbeing goals. It was a very safe space to learn and grow with likeminded people. The day retreat was culturally specific and I learned more about my African Caribbean heritage. You have created something very special." Annishia Buss |

"Thank you for such an empowering session, I woke up the next day on a high!!!!
The space you held for us all was absolutely beautiful and the thing I kept saying last night was...Finally some one who understands me... You have given me the tools to diminish those fears about not feeling guilty about speaking up and saying it exactly how it is. You understand the struggles and the ones our ancestors faced. We are both healing and uplifting each other. Aisha |

“It felt safe… like family.
The retreat spiritually energised me. I walked in feeling flat and tired, and left feeling so much happier, calmer, more understood, and like I was part of something bigger. In a white-majority society, it felt so heartening to be in a place with only BIPOC Women.” Shabnam Kwofie |

"The retreat was such a wonderful safe and healing experience.
I felt my nervous system and soul truly relax. I had such a peaceful nights sleep. I would recommend the retreat to anyone looking for self care with like minded people that feel your soul." Amma Acheampong |

"The retreat was such an incredible, powerful, and healing day. I gained so much and I left feeling such a kinship with everyone. The space is safe, communal, supportive and allows you to really lean into your emotions and sense of self. I highly recommend Emma's retreats and workshops for your self care and healing journey. Emma led us through a yoga session that was inclusive for all levels and body types and helped us relax into the day in such a calm, nurturing manner. We then had an incredible healing circle session with a holistic therapist, which was so empowering, supportive, and emotional. The session focused on womb health and all of our collective health/fertility experiences as black and brown women. Knowing we aren't alone in what we have experienced, and being surrounded by such compassionate and supportive women was immensely healing and freeing." Natasha Dsouza |

"After the retreat the transformation was so amazing honestly, I was focused, I felt so confident, calm and strong. I regained my energy and I will credit your retreat as a reminder that I needed to come back home to me." AK |
