There is a particular kind of tired that doesn't go away with sleep.
It lives in the body. It shows up in the way you answer "I'm fine" before anyone even finishes the question. It is the weight of carrying grief — yours and everyone else's — without ever being asked how you are holding up. It is joy that has gone quiet. Pleasure that feels like something you have to earn. Rest that always seems to come after everything else.
If you know this tired, this retreat is for you.
Re-Member. Reimagine. Rest. is three days on sacred land in North Carolina — land that holds trails and a labyrinth and a glass chapel and the kind of silence that actually heals. It is a small, intentional gathering of no more than 13 Black women ready to return to themselves. Not to be fixed. Not to perform their healing. But to gather the scattered pieces and remember who they are underneath everything they have been carrying.
You do not have to be in crisis to come. You do not have to be okay to come either. You just have to be ready to show up — for yourself, for the women in the room, and for whatever wants to emerge when you finally give it space.
We will grieve. We will laugh. We will rest. We will remember.

Reclaiming Rest, Imagination and Pleasure
This four-part Ratchet Grief series is for Black women who are tired of holding everything together and hungry for rest, relief, and real joy. We’ll explore grief not just as an emotion, but as a process and a spiritual capacity that can reconnect us to our bodies, our people, our pleasure, and our aliveness.
Through teaching, reflection, and gentle body‑based practices, we’ll work with rest, imagination, and pleasure as forms of resistance and repair—places where Black women get to lay some things down, feel what we feel, and remember that our bodies are sites of celebration, not just survival.
