Centering Our Voices
The Rooted WMN Day Retreat is a sacred space for outdoor respite and relaxation for women of color. This full-day retreat is designed to give BIPOC women the opportunity to expand, release and find joy and healing while forging a deeper connection with themselves.
This experience will foster community, introspection and a safe space for women to soak in the healing powers of community and Mother Nature.
Rooted WMN is an all inclusive outdoor day retreat that offers a suite of classes, mindfulness experiences and movement opportunities tailored to the unique needs of its participants. Because of that, a simple application is required to best determine what activities will best serve you.
The Details
The Retreat will take place on a beautiful lakeside campground just 25 miles east of Atlanta near Conyers, GA. The property address will be shared once your registration is confirmed.
In an effort to amplify the voices of BIPOC women, special care has been taken to ensure that the majority of our vendors and service providers for the event are also women of color.
The Rooted WMN Retreat is limited to BIPOC persons and centers on women of color. That means discussion topics, sister circles, and other activities will focus on the BIPOC perspective and experience. Rooted WMN will be a highly personalized experience, and because of that, capacity will be limited.
We will be following CDC-recommended covid-19 safety protocols. Please visit our FAQ page for more details.
Curated and Custom
As seasoned practitioners in this field, we understand that one size does not fit all-consequently, to ensure a custom and curated experience, we are implementing an application process and “track-based” retreat program. Each of the tracks will have an accompanying class schedule, movement option, and overall purpose.
Once you fill out your application you will be placed in one of the two specially developed tracks. These tracks have been designed to address the needs you designate as important.
