About this event

Are you ready to embark on a healing journey in a safe, supportive space, designed specifically for women of color?

Over the course of eight transformative sessions, we’ll reconnect with ourselves, release generational trauma, and create a solid foundation for healing—all from the comfort of your home.

In Session 2 of this 8-session series, we will explore the topic of trauma—what it is, its various forms, and the profound ways it affects us, especially as women of color. We’ll examine how trauma impacts us both individually and collectively, influencing our daily lives, our behaviors, and the way we interact with the world.

We’ll also focus on the physiological aspect of trauma, specifically how it is stored in the body. This understanding is key, as trauma often leaves lasting imprints on our physical being, manifesting in ways we may not always be consciously aware of. By incorporating somatic practices, we’ll learn how to become more attuned to these stored emotions and sensations. These practices will serve as tools to help release trauma from the body and facilitate healing.

Through grounding techniques and mindful movement, we’ll develop ways to respond to the body’s signals, creating space for deeper healing and integration. The goal of this session is to provide a foundational understanding of trauma and its impact, empowering you to engage with it in a way that supports your ongoing journey toward wholeness and well-being.

Following this series, we invite each attendee to join us for a 2-day Sisterhood Camping Retreat in the NYC area. For more details, please see the FAQ.


Frequently asked questions

I've registered; how do I get workshop information?

You’ll receive an email with the workshop link two days before the event. This workshop is exclusive to registered attendees only.

Why is this workshop at no cost?

I believe that every woman of color deserves access to healing, regardless of financial circumstances. Our communities have long been denied opportunities for holistic healing due to systemic inequalities. It’s important to me that we create spaces where healing is accessible for all.

Who is this for?

This workshop and retreat is open to adults (18+) who identify as women and are part of the BIPOC and African diaspora communities. It is designed for women seeking a deeper connection to themselves, healing from shared experiences of trauma, and the formation of a supportive sisterhood.

What if I miss a meeting?

The informational portion of each session will be recorded, so registered attendees can access it afterward. However, shared group discussions will not be recorded to maintain privacy.

Will I need to pay for anything?

While the workshop is completely free, there is a cost associated with the optional two-day camping retreat. The retreat will be $250 per person , which covers your lodging, meals, and all activities. You’ll just need to bring your personal bedding and other essentials.

Can I choose to join the workshop and not attend the retreat?

Yes, you can choose to participate in the workshops without attending the retreat. The workshops will provide valuable tools for self-healing and connection, even if you decide not to join the camping retreat. However, the retreat is a culminating experience designed to deepen the work we’ve done to

I’ve never been camping before. Do I need prior experience?

No prior camping experience is required! During the workshops, we’ll cover the basics of camping and help you prepare. This is a great chance to explore nature in a supportive group with experienced campers. You’ll feel guided and encouraged throughout the journey!

Can I bring a friend or child with me?

This particular retreat is designed to create a safe, intimate space for the women participating in the workshops. To maintain that environment, it’s limited to only the registered group members. This helps ensure everyone is fully present and connected to the experience.

What do I need to bring for the camping retreat?

You will need to bring your bedding (e.g., sleeping bag, pillow), personal items (e.g., toiletries), and any specific items you might need for outdoor comfort. A detailed packing list will be provided closer to the retreat date

What kind of accommodations are provided at the retreat?

We will be staying in tents with an indoor sleeping area available for those who prefer it. The site includes basic amenities like showers and toilets for your

Is travel included?

Travel is not included in the cost. However, if you’re in the NYC area, we’ll coordinate group travel to the retreat location. Attendees may also have the option to participate in a carpool.

What is the location of the camp retreat?

The retreat will be held on private property in the tri-state area, within two hours of NYC. The exact location will be shared with registered participants before final commitment.

Will there be support if I feel emotionally overwhelmed during the workshops or retreat?

Absolutely. This program is designed to offer a safe and supportive space for emotional healing. As a trauma-informed coach, I will provide support during the sessions, and the group will be there to hold space for one another

What if I have dietary restrictions?

We accommodate various dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. However, if you have highly specialized dietary requirements, we recommend bringing some of your own food. Please inform us in advance so we can work together to meet your needs.
