Soft Life Sunday Sessions

Join OYA Retreats for this community event!

"Healing ourselves is not the end of the line, but brings us into relationship with others, and allows us to do the work that brings healing to the wider world." ~ Prentis Hemphill

Carve out time for rest and renewal with Soft Life Sundays, a sanctuary designed for Black women and women of colour. Each session offers a unique opportunity to minimise stress, nurture your wellbeing, and explore practices that nourish your body, mind and spirit.

What to expect

The event is designed with our community in mind.

"Creativity is spirit finding itself in a new place." ~ Jae

Tap into the fresh energy of the Zodiac's new year with an inspiring Soft Life Sunday ritual led by Jae. As we journey deeper into the energy of spring, we'll discover new paths and ways of being with ourselves, each other, and the world. No prior experience needed.
