This isn’t your typical OMNoire retreat.
It’s like the grown-up version of summer magic, where soul work meets sisterhood, and joy is the main event.
The Aligned Life Retreat is one of our most expansive experiences yet. Think luxurious campfires, creative workshops, healing sessions, sunset conversations, poolside joy, and the kind of sisterhood that lingers long after you return home.
Set in the sacred stillness of the Arizona desert just before the summer solstice, this 5-day retreat marks the midpoint of the year, a powerful moment to pause, reflect, and realign with the life you desire and deserve.
You’ll gather with a vibrant collective of Black women including retreat leaders, wellness practitioners, and those simply craving space to rest, play, and be poured into.
And like the best parts of summer, there will be space: Space to laugh. To connect. To do absolutely nothing.
We’ve made this our most cost-accessible retreat yet.
Luxurious by design, intentionally priced, so you can say yes to yourself without the overwhelm.
Because joy should be in reach. Because delight is a practice. Because alignment starts within, and everything good flows from there.

Message From The Host
When I first dreamed up this retreat experience, I kept coming back to one word: freedom.
Not just the freedom to rest, but to feel light. To play. To reconnect with joy in a way that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. To be in community, without expectation or performance.
This retreat is a soul reset wrapped in sunshine, sisterhood, and sacred play.
And 2026 holds deep meaning for me.
It marks the 7-year anniversary of my biggest retreat to date where 100 women gathered in Arizona for a moment that shaped the vision for the work I still love to do.
So it only felt right to return to this sacred landscape and this time with retreat hosts, healers, and wellness facilitators by my side, to co-create a joyful, soul-stirring experience that reflects where we are now and where we’re headed next.”
We’re bringing together the best parts of summer.
Imagine sunset hangs, connection that sticks, laughter that lingers, and layering them with purpose.
Workshops that move you.
Conversations that change you.
Spaciousness that heals you.
This is your chance to remember who you are and what you need, before the world told you otherwise.
And it’s already waiting for you in the desert.
