When Black Women Heal Retreat: Centering Rest 7/10/2025
In a world that often demands your labor but overlooks your healing, Centering Rest is your call to pause and prioritize your rest. This half-day retreat focuses on recognizing and uprooting your beliefs about overworking. It is designed exclusively for women who identify as Black, African American, or descendants of Enslaved peoples in the Denver metro area to reclaim rest as an act of freedom and self-care.

What You’ll Experience and Receive:
Guided restorative practices and mindfulness rituals designed to restore participants to a greater sense of wholeness
Intentional time for reflection, connection, and renewal
Culturally grounded healing spaces created with deep reverence for the lives and needs of Black women
Guided support from expert facilitators to develop a rest plan that can be utilized upon completion of the retreat
A Rest Plan Resource to support you in assessing your current rest practices, and then guide you in developing an actionable rest plan
A grounding gift to honor your commitment to choosing yourself
What Makes this Retreat Stand Out:
This isn’t just a wellness moment. It’s a healing intervention. Centering Rest is a retreat for us, and by us, created by two Black women scholars, a clinician, and facilitators deeply committed to racial healing, resilience, and liberation. It centers your full humanity, not just your coping mechanisms. There are no panels, no PowerPoints. Just permission. Permission to rest. Permission to release. Permission to be.
Who Should Attend:
This retreat is for Black women in the Denver metro area who:
Feel called to re-examine and redefine their relationship with rest
Are holding emotional exhaustion, burnout, or unspoken grief
Are seeking time in community with other Black women
Want to explore rest as a form of resistance, healing, and reconnection.
