UnBound BIPOC Women Healing 2024 retreat registration open!

To reclaim who we are as Black Women from a mind, body, and soul perspective using the vehicles of Retreat (withdraw & step away), Respite (rest) and Recreation (play) through healing circles and therapeutic activities in sacred space communally. To work somatically, deeply in the nervous system, while setting the conditions and intentions, as an invitation to the Black Women's system/body to do the work of healing. 

This is an opportunity to gather our parts and heal woundedness. Historical wounds, spiritual wounds, father wounds, mother wounds, racism wounds, discrimination wounds, relationship wounds, all the wounds. Wounds and injuries occur generationally, personally, communally, and existentially. We have the opportunity to use the power of community to invite healing individually and collectively. Wounds and parts show up in our lives and become barriers to the authentic, healed you. Much like we protect and guard physical injuries, unconsciously, we protect internal wounds in our nervous system/brain/body. Wounds can become a barrier and inform your life experience unknowingly. UnBound Black Women Healing Retreat  is an opportunity to heal wounds and tap into your system to UnBurden and Heal! Welcome, this space is curated for you and your wounds.

Thank you for respecting this sacred space for Black, African-American, Caribbean, African, Bi-Racial women of Black descent, Black women of the Diaspora worldwide.  Must be 18-years old+ to attend.

NOTE: For the record, it's important to identify my social locations and identities...it is not my intention to mess with anyone's theology, however, having been raised Baptist, as an adult, as a graduated seminarian, I recognize there was a great deal of traditions taught through my religious catechisms. So, yes I am Christian lending self to the more spiritual side of things. I continue to seek perpetual humility through my spiritual journey, always in awe by the Grace of God, The Almighty, The everlasting King and Messiah.  WE are not doing any devil worshipping, we are expanding recognizing the power of movement to dislodge trauma and using known practices to support your personal system in doing the work of healing.

 IMPORTANT: UnBound Black Women Healing Retreat is NOT individual/therapy and we do not provide Substance Abuse support. Individual therapy is not offered at this event, we will follow a group/communal frame for "gatherings".
