Black Warrior women Retreat 2026 - dates tbd

“Imposter syndrome” is a false narrative Black women often buy into on a regular basis. We cannot be an imposter in spaces that were never created for us to be present or thrive. The imposter syndrome mindset holds Black women back from understanding who we are and realizing our full potential in career, relationships, family dynamics, etc. This mindset prevents us from achieving our goals and experiencing joy and happiness. These mental shackles constrain us from fulfilling our destiny. We must alter our life’s path by taking control of the narrative and creating the life we were born to live and move into our empowered future.

The Black Warrior Women retreat fosters safe spaces that embrace authenticity, camaraderie, and create everlasting bonds for women. Participants go on a transformational journey of self-discovery that promotes mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual healing from the inside out. Black women learn how to enforce better boundaries while improving self-awareness and self-management skills. We empower you to have a growth mindset in all aspects of your life while practicing abundant self-care.

Join empowerment coaches Dimitria and Catherine for an unforgettable transformational experience in Central California wine country, filled with opulence and self-discovery. Warrior women of the African Diaspora are breaking shackles and forging lives of authenticity, strength, and power. Renew your spirit and rewrite the narrative of your life in the luxury accommodations of the Allegretto Vineyard Resort. Enjoy 5 days and four nights of Black women empowerment in beautiful Central California wine country!
