Come and
put it down.
A one-day retreat for Black women who are ready to rest, properly, and be held by three women who've spent years doing this work.
You've built a life that looks like it's working.
From the outside, it is. But you know what it costs you to keep it that way, and you're tired of being the only one who knows. Rest, for you, has become another thing to schedule, optimise, or feel guilty about. This retreat isn't that.
"The one everyone calls when things go wrong."
"The one who shows up early, stays late, and somehow still has the answer."
"Tired of being the only one who knows what it costs."
This is for you if
Who you leave as
Not fixed. Not full of new tasks. Just closer to yourself than you arrived.
How the day moves
Arrive and land
Doors open at 10:30 for a 11am start. Phones go in a basket by the door. No agenda to brace yourself against, no requirement to have it figured out before you arrive.
Together
Guided time with our three facilitators, exploring what's really running underneath the high-achieving exterior. The exact shape of this will take form as we finalise the day.
Feel
Space to feel what rest actually feels like in your body, not just hear about it, with lunch and refreshments in between.
Close together
Space to notice what's shifted, and what you're carrying differently, as you head back into your life this evening.

A few honest questions
Is this therapy?
No. It's coaching, embodiment and community, held by three qualified practitioners. If you're in crisis or need clinical support, this isn't the right space, and we'll gladly point you towards one that is.
How many women will be there?
Spaces are limited so the room stays intimate. We'll confirm final numbers closer to the date.
What should I bring?
Just yourself, and something comfortable to sit and lie down in. We provide mats and everything you need to rest on, so there's nothing to bring for that. If you know you fluctuate in temperature, you're welcome to bring an extra blanket or wrap. Lunch and refreshments are included.
Are dietary requirements catered for?
Yes. Let us know when you book, and we'll take care of it.
What's your cancellation policy?
A 50% refund is available if you cancel a month or more before the event. No refunds are available after that.
Is the venue accessible?
Yes. The venue is all on one floor with no stairs.
