Wellness retreats for Black women are on the rise.
In case you needed a reminder, Black women NEED to constantly put energy into protecting our minds, bodies, and spirits. Especially those of us who live in the United States in this tumultuous political climate.
By now, we all know that intentionality in life is super important. Healthy living, emotional well-being and spiritual wholeness are necessities nowadays. That’s why wellness travel has become one of the leading trends when Black women seek a blend of fun, cleansing, relaxation, and self-discovery.
Whether you’re interested in yoga, a healthier living alternative, or implementing holistic wellness into your daily life, these workshops and retreats offer a little something for everyone.
With so many activities and events on their itineraries, consider them your first step and an easy way to ‘om’ your way to bliss.
We’ve rounded up some of the best wellness retreats that were specifically curated for Black women, by Black women that won’t just speak to minds, but your bodies and spirits as well.

Women of Color Healing Retreats to Promote Wellness
The website describes the retreat as an experience born out of a desire to “connect Black ‘Americans’ (Africans) to nature and themselves.
Each retreat has its own unique aspects. The retreat’s goal is to bring women together for healing and community building. It will all take place in the gorgeous jungles of Costa Rica.
During the retreats, the women have enriching women-centered workshops, connect their minds, bodies, and spirits through yoga, go hiking on rivers, swim in the bluest oceans, meditate amongst themselves and each other, and practice holistic self-care in a community of people who mirror them.
