Freedom Awakened is a 7-day immersive journey taking place June 15–22, 2026. Designed for Black and Brown travelers seeking rest, renewal, and reconnection, this experience blends cultural immersion, mindful movement, and holistic healing within a supportive, intentionally curated space.

What is the "Freedom Awakened" retreat?

"Freedom Awakened" is a 7-day journey of rest and reconnection—held June 15–22, 2026, in beautiful Bali. Centered around the spirit of Juneteenth, this experience celebrates taking time to slow down, breathe, and enjoy life at your own pace.

For one sacred week, we move, meditate, and celebrate in community—exploring what it means to feel balanced and alive. Through movement, healing, and cultural immersion, each moment invites you to pause, reflect, and connect with others along the way.

It’s about great food, sunshine, shared laughs, and the kind of rest that resets you. You’ll show up as you are, meet good people, and leave lighter, clearer, and more grounded.
