It’s time. It’s time to step away from the noise, the obligations, and the weight of everything we carry. It is time to lean into sisterhood, into softness, into spaces that truly see and hold us. Welcome to the 4th Annual Relax, Release, & Restore Retreat, where Black women come to exhale, recharge, and reconnect.
This year, we’re taking it deeper, bolder, and even more luxurious in the serene beauty of Palm Desert from October 9 to 12, 2025. Over four days, we’ll create space for rest, renewal, and real conversations—because true self-care is not just about candles and massages; it’s about releasing what no longer serves us and embracing the peace we deserve.
Why You Should Be Here:
🌿 A Sanctuary for the Soul
Nestled in luxury and surrounded by breathtaking views, you’ll experience an intentional space curated just for us by us. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be enveloped in an environment that whispers: You are safe. You are worthy. You are enough.
✨ Sisterhood is Our Safe Space
This retreat isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about relationships. We are each other’s refuge. You’ll be reminded that healing happens in the community through shared moments, deep conversations, and intentional connection.

Available Add-Ons
After a day of intentional relaxation and releasing (Friday & Saturday), we invite you to continue your experience in one of the resort’s newly renovated Oasis Cabanas at the heart of the JW Marriott’s main pool.
This is your time to slow down, sip, snack, and connect with yourself and your sisters.
Each private cabana is designed with comfort and elegance in mind. It offers a spacious outdoor sectional, three padded chaise lounges, an umbrella for shade, a cooling fan, a mini refrigerator, and dedicated personalized service.
Enjoy light bites, refreshing beverages, and meaningful conversation as the sun begins to set. Whether you’re stretched out in silence or sharing laughter with new friends, this kind of relaxation reminds you: you are allowed to feel this good.
Come as you are.
Leave a little lighter.
Itinerary
At our opening evening, we are kicking things off with flavor, laughter, and connection: Tacos & Toasts – A Sisterhood Welcome.
Join us for a laid-back evening filled with delicious tacos, bubbly sips, and soul-centered vibes as we ease into the weekend together. This isn’t just a mixer—it’s the beginning of our collective exhale.
Come as you are. Meet your fellow sisters. Toast to new beginnings, deeper connections, and the magic that happens when Black women come together with intention.
Dinner is casual, but the energy is rich. 💫
