Culturally Rooted. Luxuriously Restorative.

Apply to Join the Summer Anniversary Retreat

Three years in… There is still a room waiting here for you.

In July 2023, the first Compassion Collective Retreat opened its doors at a quiet farmhouse in Maryland.

For the last two summers, the women who came that first year have gathered to host their own intimate dinner to mark the anniversary and invite more Black and brown women to join the community we are building.

This July, I am turning that dinner into something more.

A return to Seven Oaks Farm and time to celebrate the ways in which the essence of the Compassion Collective has come to life over the last few years. Together, we get to live out what I imagined these retreats could be during that very first summer.

Meditation in the mornings. Creative practice. Long, unhurried meals at one big table. Quiet time to journal, walk the land, or rest without explanation. Honest conversation that goes to the depths Black women so rarely get to go in mixed company.

Space to simply be and a time to deeply explore your inner world with compassion and grace.

As I welcome the original cohort back on July 23, they are making room for a few new sisters to join us.

Three rooms remain. Apply below.

The Weight You’ve Been Carrying

You’ve built a life by always being the strong one, at work, at home, and in your community. But behind your relentless strength, there’s a quiet exhaustion. A silent yearning for space to breathe.
A place where you can simply be.

The Restoration You Deserve

Compassion Collective is a luxurious sanctuary where you can finally stop performing strength and start experiencing care. Here, you’re invited to set down the armor, reconnect to joy, and reclaim your full humanity.
Experience the radical power of collective rest and culturally-rooted care, and return to your life refreshed, clear, and reimagined.
