February 17-22, 2025

Move from Fatigue to Flow at our 2025 Retreat Guided by the insights of DEI pioneer, award-winning consultant, and author Mary-Frances Winters, this retreat offers a sanctuary for reflection, renewal, and growth. There is collective unrest and uncertainty surrounding the upcoming election and while we don’t yet know the outcome, we do know that, we’re tired. Regardless of what happens, we’ll need time together to recharge and support one another. Through the lens of Mary-Frances Winters' acclaimed book, Black Fatigue: How Racism Erodes the Mind, Body, and Spirit, we will explore strategies to protect ourselves from the damaging effects of these times. Let’s heal, learn, love, and lead—together. Join us February 17-22, 2025 for a retreat centered on Radical Self-Care, Real Connection, and a Safe Space.
