Reclaiming My Voice And Roots helps women and femmes of color struggling to find their voice by releasing their emotional wounds and restoring connection with intuition, soul, and ancestral wisdom to journey life feeling more empowered and grounded in who they are.

Dear loving BIPOC community, healing from the emotional scars living inside you,
So much of our journey is about finding our voice. We often lose our voice early in life, when we are silenced through painful childhood experiences.
Sometimes this happens at home.
Oftentimes we learn to silence ourselves from the systems and toxic environments we grow in.
We are told and shown that our words don’t matter.
Our feelings don’t matter. Our bodies don’t matter.
The historical trauma in our lineages has created legacies
of wounding passed down the generations.
Our ancestral grief follows us like a shadow.
It is both an individual and collective grief.
A grief so heavy that we cannot hold by ourselves.
We begin to feel disconnected to our roots, our soul, and our intuition.
We grow further and further away from our truest nature.
Does this sound familiar? Is this part of your story?
Love, we need you to know that you’re not broken.
But you may hold within your heart burdens of shame and people-pleasing.
You might struggle with being vulnerable and trusting others, including yourself.
Know that your healing journey is liberation work.
It is reclaiming what was taken from you and was your birthright.
Feeling safe in your body, owning your power, your connection to Soul,
ancestors, your voice, your Self-trust and love.
This is YOURS. It was always Yours.
It’s time to retrieve all that has been lost and taken from you.
Are you ready to reclaim your voice, your roots, and finally see ALL of you?

We have curated something so beautifully special, and we’re putting so much heart, love, and soul into this offering just for you.In this retreat, we’ll guide you into your inner world and help you witness what lives within you. You will connect with different parts of you, practice holding yourself with compassion, and talk about your undigested grief, including the grief of being uprooted from your ancestral land.
You’ll have the experience of being loved, held, and cared for by our group.
We will take daily walks on the hiking trails, visit the natural river with waterfalls, build community as we’re swimming in the saltwater pool, sit around the fire, laugh, dream and set our intentions together.
We will engage in rituals and ceremonies to help us collectively release internalized messages, shame, and pain from our inner child and from our lineages.
We will work toward reclaiming and reconnecting more to our roots because when we feel more grounded and rooted in who we are, we embody soul energy. We fully embrace our voice and power. We give ourselves permission to take up space again and reclaim what is ours.

Will you join us?
Will you be part of this community of grounded and connected BIPOC women and femmes fully embracing our voice and power?

This retreat is for you-
Women and Femmes of Color

✅ If you struggle with people-pleasing, shrinking yourself, or speaking up. ✅ If you’re feeling shame and loneliness. ✅ If you’re needing the space to grieve the loss of connection to your Soul, land, and ancestors. ✅ If you’re afraid to be vulnerable, be seen by others, or fear seeing yourself. ✅ If you have a hard time setting boundaries. ✅ If you feel guilty taking up space and caring for your needs. ✅ If you’re uncomfortable receiving love, or scared to love. ✅ If you’re wanting to heal your relationship with your inner child(ren). ✅ If you’re tired of always being the “strong one” and pushing through everything. ✅ If you’re wanting to build community with other women and femmes of color on the journey toward reclaiming. ✅ If you’re of the Boricua diaspora and are trying to deepen your connection to your roots.

Our retreat days together will begin co-regulating with nature as we greet the morning, walk through the trails and take in the love of the mountain valley. We will spend our time together in community, courageous conversation and both inner and collective processes.
We will make space for rituals, including grief rituals and that of reconciliation.We will travel inside and work to see ourselves more.We will see and hold each other more too.
At the end of our days, we will continue building together. So much of healing really is about doing it in community. Connection, both inside and out, is the antidote to stress responses from trauma.Our intention really is to co-create and facilitate a sacred space that feels loving to everyone in it.

The journey will also include:

A community-based group chat (WhatsAPP) to foster connection with each other before and after the retreat
Pre-retreat group call: tentatively scheduled for TBA
Post-retreat group calls: 2 monthly calls to help integrate what was revealed in the in-person retreat and into your day-to-day life. They will be on TBA
