Help Us Build This Healing Center

Women of Color Deserve Healing Spaces

Wellness Is Often Out of Reach for Women of Color

For too long, wellness has been associated with exclusivity—out of reach for most, especially for women of color. Wellness spaces are often created for a specific demographic, leaving us underserved and excluded. The result? A lack of accessible healing spaces for our communities.


We believe this must change. We need a space built for us, by us—a place where our well-being is prioritized and nurtured, where we can thrive in mind, body, and spirit.

Our Vision for the Future

A Sanctuary for Healing, Built on Love and Empowerment

We envision a space where women and girls of color come together to heal—mind, body, and soul. A retreat designed with care, built by us, for us. 

Here, we will experience yoga, massage therapy, mental health support, nourishing foods, and wellness education, all in an environment of peace and serenity. 

Together, we’ll break down the barriers that have held us back and reclaim our health, our power, and our future.

A Healing Space Rooted in Love, Designed for Impact

This center is not just a retreat. It's a necessity. Women of color face systemic barriers that impact our health, from economic inequality to a lack of access to culturally competent care. For too long, we’ve been excluded from spaces where our healing is prioritized.


This retreat center will dismantle those barriers and provide a much-needed space for women of color to experience rest, restoration, and healing in a way that speaks to our unique needs and experiences.


With the support of the Pivotal Ventures Open Call, we can bring this vision to life and ensure that women of color everywhere have access to the care, healing, and empowerment they deserve.

The Urgent Need for a Healing Space for Women of Color

Health Disparities

  • Black women are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women.
  • 1 in 3 women of color experience chronic illness, compared to 1 in 5 white women.
  • Black women and Latinas experience higher rates of mental health disorders, but less than 50% have access to culturally competent mental health care.

Access to Healthcare

  • Nearly 50% of Black women report having limited access to quality healthcare compared to their white counterparts.
  • Women of color are less likely to have access to preventative care and wellness programs, which are vital to overall health and well-being.

Wellness Spaces

  • Wellness spaces that focus on the needs of women of color are extremely limited, and those that exist are often inaccessible due to financial, cultural, and geographical barriers.
  • Cultural representation in wellness programs is often absent, leaving women of color without a space where they can feel understood, supported, and cared for.

Barriers to Self-Care

  • Black women spend 25% more of their lives in poor health compared to men, often due to lack of access to resources.
  • Over 60% of Latinas report feeling that mainstream wellness practices are not designed for them, causing them to feel excluded from health-related spaces.

The Path to Healing Starts Here

Secure initial funding and plan for site location.
