Beyond Survival Mode
An Inclusive Leadership Retreat for Women of Color
April 13-17, 2026 | Vieques, Puerto Rico
What does it mean to thrive in a world that feels like it's falling apart?
You know that feeling when you finally exhale after holding your breath for too long? That's what we're creating here. Not another conference. Not another thing on your to-do list. A space where the people who hold everyone else finally get to be held.
You Already Know
You're tired of operating in survival mode.
You've been the most reliable person in the room for so long, you've forgotten what it feels like to not be holding everything together.
You want practical tools and real community.
You're doing important work. Work that matters. Work that's changing systems. And you're running on empty.
This retreat is for you.
Before you keep reading, take a moment with us.
This is what we mean by creating space. Let yourself feel it.
What makes this different.
Let's be honest: there are a lot of retreats out there. Here's why this one hits different.
We Don't Assume Safety—We Build It
Bringing women of color leaders together doesn't automatically create safety. We know that. So we build it intentionally through community agreements, structured truth-telling, and facilitation that names what's often left unsaid.
The Holders Get Held
Most leadership spaces expect you to show up as the expert, the caregiver, the fixer. Here? You get to rest. You get to receive. You get to just be.
Evidence-Based Meets Aspirational
This isn't just vibes. Our frameworks are grounded in years of DEI work, organizational change, and leadership development. Data + lived experience + wisdom.
We Support You Before, During & After
Pre-retreat: Leadership archetype assessment and preparation session
During: Core workshops + optional 1:1 coaching
Post-retreat: Integration session one month later to sustain the shifts
Nervous System Recalibration
From the moment you arrive, we create conditions for a deep exhale. Lower heart rate. Fewer racing thoughts. Permission to fully disengage. This is strategic rest in real time.
“It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”
