About this trip

Join us on a 6-day journey of restorative rituals including yoga, meditation, breathwork and journaling, paired with engaging outdoor activities and nourishing local cuisine. Explore the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of St. Croix, USVI.


Located at Feather Leaf Inn —an idyllic waterfront escape in the heart of Frederiksted with sweeping views of the sunset — this retreat is designed for those looking for a reset from their regular life. We’ll experience a unique blend of rejuvenation and fun, sprinkled with introspective excursions. 


I’m hosting this retreat with my dear friend Julien Alleyne, who is a creative consultant/producer with general mindfulness and nature enthusiast. We are both born and raised on St. Croix and were united in this vision of hosting a wellness retreat on St. Croix in a way that didn’t feel transactional. We wanted to share the feeling of paradise and our love for Virgin Islands and Caribbean culture. 


We also wanted to create a space for community to grow. It’s rare to see yoga retreats being hosted by people of color, much less visiting a place where they are from. Our intention is to create a special space where we can learn tools for introspection and healing.

I went with my mom (as a birthday present for her) and we had the most amazing time. Andrea and Julien were great guides for their home of St. Croix; Feather Leaf Inn was a beautiful and historical location with a pool, close to the beach, lots of green space, and wonderful vegan food prepared by the chef; and we felt fully rested and rejuvenated with the slate of activities. We had space to be or explore, and we chose more of the latter, doing activities like a boat trip to Buck Island, horseback riding along the beach and through the rainforest, and many beach days. I cannot recommend visiting St. Croix any more, and even better if you can do it on a retreat with Andrea and Julien. I would join them on all retreats if I can!
