THE WANDER WOMAN RETREAT is an intimate gathering for Women to retreat, relax, and recharge. While disconnecting from the tensions at home, you are allowed to connect with other women and reconnect with yourself. The 10 women are handpicked to ensure a safe, positive space aligned with similar energies and goals at an exclusive location on the African continent. While focusing on creativity, wellness, and stillness, the multi-layered retreat gives you the opportunity to wander into cultural experiences with global and local African women exploring and building community for future collaboration and support.

September 2026 (4 Days)
The Wander Woman Retreat is wandering to the Kingdom of Eswatini! The Journey to Play retreat is an invitation to return not to childhood, but to the wisdom that lived there. Our journey culminates at the Umhlanga (Reed Dance), one of Africa's most moving celebrations of young womanhood. As thousands of girls dance together in community and tradition, we witness more than a cultural ceremony. We witness a reflection - not who we should have been, but of who we have always been. Together, we'll remember that play isn't something we leave behind in childhood. It's a way of seeing, a way of trusting, and a way of moving through the world.
“Play is how the soul remembers its freedom.”
