connect. community. collaboration.

THE WANDER WOMAN RETREAT is an intimate gathering for mature Black Women to retreat, relax, and recharge. While disconnecting from the tensions at home, you are allowed to connect with other Black women and reconnect with yourself. The 10 women are handpicked to ensure a safe, positive space aligned with similar energies and goals at an exclusive location on the African continent. While focusing on adventure, wellness, and stillness, the multi-layered retreat gives you the opportunity to wander into cultural experiences with global and local African women exploring your roots and building your community with lifelong allies for future collaboration and support.
