We are devoted to the wellness and liberation of queer and trans leaders of color because too many of us carry the stress of our communities on bodies that have never been allowed to truly rest. Our brilliance, our strategy, our care work, and our leadership are often demanded without replenishment, without sanctuary, without recognition of the cost. This retreat is our refusal of that cycle. We believe that rest is not a luxury for our people—it is a political, spiritual, and ancestral necessity. When queer and trans leaders of color heal, the culture shifts. When we are nourished, the world expands. When we reclaim spaciousness, softness, and pleasure, we become unstoppable. This radical sabbatical is an offering: a container where leaders can unravel exhaustion, reconnect to their bodies, and remember the feeling of being held. It is a space designed with intention, high protocol, and reverence—because our healing deserves beauty. Our rest deserves ritual. Our futures deserve leaders who are not simply surviving, but thriving.

We focus on helping our people live their dreams because a dream deferred doesn’t just sit quietly—it erodes us. It dulls our joy, numbs our creativity, and slowly chips away at the parts of us that make vision and leadership possible. When queer and trans people of color abandon their dreams, the whole movement loses a piece of its imagination.

But when we return inspired, resourced, and recommitted to our own desires, we become the kind of leaders who can shift culture and build futures. Pursue the dreams you’ve tucked away. In this retreat, we imagine together. We map the dreams your spirit has been whispering about for years—and we figure out exactly how to make them possible. You deserve a life that feels expansive, alive, and beautifully yours.

This isn’t a productivity retreat or a traditional leadership intensive. It is an invitation to slow down long enough to hear yourself again.

Over 11 days, we create a spacious container for queer, trans, and nonbinary leaders, visionaries, and changemakers of color to step outside of urgency, performance, and constant responsibility—and reconnect with rest, pleasure, clarity, and intentional living. We begin with an intimate opening dinner and full-day grounding session designed to build trust, care, and connection within the cohort. Together, we establish shared agreements and create the conditions for honesty, reflection, exhale, and transformation.

The days that follow are intentionally spacious. There are no packed conference schedules. No endless panels. No pressure to perform insight or expertise. Instead, participants are invited into a slower rhythm centered on radical rest, embodied practice, deep conversation, joy, exploration, and meaningful connection.

Throughout the immersion, we gather for shared meals, reflection, wellness experiences, creative exploration, and lightly facilitated conversations that help participants reconnect with themselves beyond survival mode. Excursions and adventures invite play, curiosity, softness, and expansion—not as escape, but as practice.

This experience is rooted in the belief that rest is not separate from liberation.

Together, we practice another way of living. One that is slower, more intentional, connected and alive. This is not about optimizing yourself. It's a return to yourself.
