Radical Sabbatical™

Monday, January 22 - Friday, January 26, 2024

Copamarina Beach Resort and Space

Guánica, Puerto Rico

co-LAB Collective is creating an abundant space for women, femmes and non-binary leaders of color (BIPOC) to rest, care and experience possibility together. 

It takes a collective to offer a rest opportunity, and we invite folks who are ready to explore what would serve you at this time. Radical Sabbatical focuses on a retreat experience for rest and solo-organizing in the company of others.

What to expect: 

• Warm hospitality, yummy nourishing food, and care in the Black Feminist tradition, in a peaceful beach retreat
• Being in choice about solo and communal connection for relaxation and generative imaginings
• Emergent facilitation and coaching responsive to your sabbatical themes (healing, reflection, resting, visioning…)
• Bodywork offerings including somatic and embodied practice. Meditation with light guidance.

Purpose

For women, femmes and non-binary leaders of color (BIPOC) to have access to an abundant space for rest, care and experience possibility together.

Radical sabbatical anticipates leaders coming in with different needs for sabbatical. One of these themes may speak strongly to you, and likely more than one. Are you:

• Feeling depleted, overwhelmed and needing a change in pace?
• Wishing for a nourishing space to play, rest and reflect after many seasons of caring for others?
• Tending a passion project and struggling to find space to develop that idea in the day-to-day?
• Ready for a big change, but unsure what that is or how to make it happen?

Outcomes

Depending on your particular Radical Sabbatical needs, you can choose to focus on any of these outcomes. Imagine feeling:

• Reconnected with rest, body, energy, emotional aliveness, spirit; and with boundaries and pacing reset
• Regenerated abundant space to heal and play with the support of nature, culture (art, music) and community
• Nourishing imagination for new, joyful possibilities and radically do-able ideas for manifesting what’s next
• Appreciating and understanding changes you want to make in this season of life, and what you need to make that happen
