Queens Wellness Quest Retreat: Aug 28 - Sept 4, 2024
$3,400.00
We have been searching for years to find the perfect retreat, something that supports small and minority owned businesses, something inclusive and supportive of women, somewhere magical and affordable. We could not find it, so we designed it.
Welcome to the Queens Wellness Quest Retreat!
This retreat has been carefully curated to be an immersive and inclusive wellness experience designed to prioritize the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of women. We are providing a unique opportunity to focus on self-care, self-discovery, and personal growth while celebrating the unique beauty and resilience of our different cultures and heritages. This retreat aims to create a safe and empowering environment where Queens can rejuvenate, reconnect with self, bond with like-minded women, and explore holistic wellness practices that we don’t normally take time to do for ourselves.
Meryem Chouirf-McClintock, Valarie Cunningham and Kimberly Lee-Tessmer will be leading this retreat. These three Queens of color believe that rest is just as important as connection and women supporting women is necessary for our growth.
