Elohee's Registration and Cancellation Policy

Step into a spacious, soul-nourishing pause created for Black women feeling the quiet call of their next chapter but needing the time and space to truly explore it.

Held in the serene beauty of the Elohee Retreat Center in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this 5-day retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect with your truest self, remember what matters most, and begin moving forward with clarity and courage.

You’ve carried a lot. You’ve shown up, held it down, and kept it moving—but something in you is asking for more.

This retreat is a chance to give that part of you the care it’s been longing for. You’ll ease into a slower rhythm—one that makes space for rest, reflection, reconnection, and the wisdom that emerges when you finally have room to breathe. Through grounding practices like yoga, meditation, journaling, creative exploration, and guided group sessions, you’ll explore what matters now and what’s quietly calling you forward. Together, we’ll reflect on the stories that have shaped us, honor what’s unfolding, and connect with a community of women walking their own paths of becoming.

What to Expect

Deepen your self-awareness through guided workshops that help you reconnect with your values, strengths, and the vision of who you’re becoming

Experience deep rest and renewal through self-honoring practices and meaningful time in nature

Learn simple, grounding tools to quiet your mind, navigate challenges, and center yourself in the midst of daily life

Be held in community with women who are navigating their own next chapters—sharing insight, laughter, and collective wisdom

The Experience

Each day of ReYOUnify offers a different kind of invitation—meeting you where you are and gently supporting what’s ready to unfold.

Day 1: Relax
Begin your retreat by unwinding from the busy week and settling into the tranquil atmosphere of the Elohee Retreat Center. Ease into the weekend with space to breathe, settle in, and begin letting go of what you’ve been carrying. Prepare for a rejuvenating evening of warm connections as you get acquainted with your fellow retreat participants, and then settle in for some deep rest.
Day 2: Remember
We’ll create space to explore personal stories, honor the past, and embrace the wisdom gathered along the way.
Through mindful movement, quiet reflection, storytelling, and creative play, you’ll reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been buried under the busyness.
Remember who you’ve always been—and allow for who you are becoming.
Day 3: Reimagine
This day invites you to explore what else might be possible.
Through creative reflection and guided practices—both personal and shared—you’ll envision a life shaped by your values, aspirations, and truth.
There’s no pressure to decide—only space to wonder, imagine, and feel supported as new possibilities take shape.
Day 4: Release
Turn inward with intention and identify what no longer serves you.
Whether it’s old patterns, limiting beliefs, or roles you’ve outgrown, this is a chance to lay them down with honesty and care.
Through ritual and reflection, we’ll make room for what’s next—by honoring what’s been.
Day 5: Relaunch
As the retreat comes to a close, we’ll celebrate the clarity, connection, and self-honoring care you’ve cultivated.
Carry the energy of renewal with you as you return to your life—rooted, refreshed, and aligned with a new flow that honors your becoming.
You’ll leave with simple practices and insights to support what’s next.
