California Dreamin’

We're excited to share our newest retreat offering, The SoulFULL Slowdown, taking place later this year in the serene oasis of Joshua Tree, California from October 11th-14th, 2024. This special weekend kickback is centered around Black millennial homegirls and homegirls of color to kiki, kick it, and connect with others who may be feeling overworked, overwhelmed or just long overdue for some time away to focus on themselves.

Our initial application period has closed, but complete your vibe check to join our waitlist! Learn more about this year’s retreat!

How it works✨

  • In order to ensure that The SoulFULL Slowdown is the right fit for you and that you can fully benefit from the experience, we require all interested homegirls to complete a vibe check. This form allows us to learn more about you, your intentions for attending the retreat, and what you hope to gain from the experience. We want to ensure that the participants in our intimate gathering are aligned in their desire for personal growth, self-discovery, and connection with like-minded individuals. By completing the form, you are taking the first step towards joining us in Joshua Tree this October.

    Be sure to read through our FAQs before completing the vibe check!

  • At The SoulFULL Slowdown, we believe in the power of authentic connections and meaningful conversations. That's why we don't use the word "interview" when inviting selected individuals to join us for a Zoom chat. Instead, we see it as an opportunity to have a relaxed and open conversation with you about what you shared during your initial vibe check.

    During our chat, we'll dive further into your interests, experiences, and goals to get a better understanding of how you can benefit from this beautiful community. You’ll also have the chance to ask any questions you may have about The SoulFULL Slowdown.

  • We only have ten spots available for The SoulFULL Slowdown and we will be extending invitations to join on a rolling basis, so please keep an eye out for an email from us.

    Please note that spaces are not confirmed until selected participants have paid their deposits. We will have a waiting list in case selected attendees are unable to join us or if additional spaces become open.

  • Pack your bags and come along for a weekend of healing, hanging out, and making memories that will last a lifetime. Cali is calling – are you ready to answer?

What past attendees said!

  • It was amazing to have women pour into me, and I feel as though I will have memories and connections for the rest of my life! I have been telling everyone about this experience and can’t wait for the next retreat.

  • Since I’ve returned home, I’ve constantly said “sometimes you don’t know how much you need something until you have it” I didn’t know how badly I needed a safe space, sisterhood, community, and to release and relate until I went to this retreat. This retreat was quite literally EVERYTHING I needed it to be.

  • I had an absolutely amazing experience. It was my first retreat, and felt like one healing Black Woman sleepover. My happiness was next level there. I returned back to the US a different woman.

  • This was very much needed. I came in with my wall up and afraid to let anyone in, but the girls did an excellent job facilitating an open environment with no pressure to be yourself . I felt beyond comfortable being in a foreign country with these girls. From the activities to the location, everything was great. I left feeling so different about myself in a good way with some things to work on but they helped facilitate a new outlook on myself. This was definitely much needed and appreciated. It's so great to see what they are doing for black and brown girls such as myself. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

  • Thank y’all for showing me how to make wellness an everyday practice in so many different ways. I’m really proud of the time that we spent here, the work that was done & the love that we shared. I’m forever grateful.

  • I struggle to put this experience into words because I feel so much of it in my heart. This was exactly what I needed: healthy connections, loving community, space to be with myself & space to be myself. I was in a season of needing to be nurtured, and thankfully a lot of care went into this. This retreat was a great opportunity to rest, reflect, share, receive and love. My heart feels more open. I feel excited and full of possibility. I feel seen and supported. The connections are genuine. The conversations are real. The time spent is an asset. What we created together is so special. I am so grateful.
