🌴 Rejuvenate in Luxury. Connect in Sisterhood.
Welcome to a space where the only thing on your to-do list is to receive.
This all-inclusive luxury retreat in sunny Barbados is your invitation to rest deeply, reconnect with yourself, and be held in the warmth of sisterhood.
We’ll be gathering at La Maison Michelle—an Essence Travel Award-winning, Black-owned luxury villa, founded by Michelle Ifill and Guy Jenkins, whose warmth and vision have shaped this one-of-a-kind sanctuary.
This retreat, intentionally designed for women of color, blends oceanfront yoga, grounding breathwork, and soul-stirring sound healing with poolside lounging, hot tub soaks, and heart-opening conversations—a perfect way to celebrate International Women’s Month!
Whether you’re stargazing after a sunset catamaran cruise or laughing with new friends over a nourishing meal—this is where restoration begins. Your future self will thank you.
This retreat is for you if:
You’ve been pouring into everyone else and need a sacred space to finally pour into yourself
You crave deep rest, sunshine, and soul-soothing experiences in a luxurious setting
You’re longing for connection—with your body, your breath, nature, and a powerful community of women
You’re feeling burnt out, ungrounded, or uninspired—and you know it’s time for a reset
You want to feel aligned, clear, and recharged from the inside out
You’re ready to say yes to joy, softness, and intentional self-care
