The Aligned Life Retreat

Hosted by OMNoire Founder, Christina Rice

“Your most aligned life is the one that feels like freedom.”

- Christina

Where Alignment Meets Adventure

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. It’s like the grown-up version of summer magic, where soul work meets sisterhood, and joy is the main event.

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’re also partnering with Black Girls Guide to Atlanta to bring a curated Scottsdale experience, 'The Black Girls Guide to Arizona Experience,' introducing you to the best of Scottsdale’s food, culture, wellness, and local businesses through a thoughtful “crawl” that invites exploration beyond the retreat itself.

At The Aligned Life Retreat, we don’t chase balance — we create it. Together, we’ll move into a new season grounded, connected, and full of light.

WHAT THE TRIBE IS SAYING

Christina Rice

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.

Message From Black Girl's Guide to Atlanta

When I created Black Girls Guide to Atlanta, my goal was simple: to help Black women experience the best our citiy has to offer, from incredible food and hidden gems to spaces that make us feel seen and celebrated.

It has always been about exploration, connection, and showing that joy belongs to us too.

That’s why I’m so excited to partner with OMNoire for The Aligned Life Retreat and to introduce 'The Black Girls Guide to Scottsdale' Experience, our first curated journey outside Atlanta.

Together, we’re bringing that same spirit of discovery to Scottsdale, where you’ll get to explore the city’s culture, wellness, and food scene through a special guided experience that highlights local businesses and the magic that happens when we show up in new spaces together.

I can’t wait for you to join us, to sip, shop, laugh, and connect as we experience Scottsdale through our lens. It’s going to be unforgettable.
