Join OYA Retreats on our last in-person retreat of 2023!
This urban retreat is one of our most popular. You’re guaranteed to leave it feeling differently than when you arrived.
Instead of allowing others (family, friends, colleagues, society) to write your story, you have to own your own truth - past, present and future. To heal is to embody the wisdom that you don’t have to hustle to be worthy of love and joy. There is nothing required of you to do first, before you are deserving of peace.
What to expect
The half-day is designed across two parts.
The first session will create an environment, within which the group can hold, see and hear each other’s experiences, complexities and contradictions through journaling, yoga, somatics and interactive mindfulness practice.
The second session will give space to release that which no longer serves and unlock our capacity to be our full selves. We will close with a sound bath to allow the different emotions that have arisen over the course of the sessions to settle as we clearly envision our self-defined purpose and sense of belonging.
The sessions will be led by Stacie & Fatuma.
Retreat places are reserved for Black women and women of colour.
Course Date
This is an urban retreat and will complete in one day - 21st October.
We’re excited to be hosted again at She’s Lost Control, Valentine Road.
