Deep Rest Retreat

Bali | January 5-11, 2025 | 7 Days & 6 Nights

You’re Invited

Join the experience of sacred restoration and a deep inner connection during our Deep Rest Retreat in Bali, 2025. Let’s embark on a journey of transformative rest using Meditation for Alignment, and Enlightenment, and Discovery. Being Self MAED requires stillness and self-reflection and while the work is individual we walk with our sisters during the journey.

There are many reasons Black & Brown womxn surrender to Burnout & Exhaustion.

Are you emotionally drained from constantly managing the emotions and needs of those around you, without receiving the support or recognition you deserve?

Have you experienced fatigue from navigating stereotypes and societal expectations that suppress your true identity and authenticity?

Do you often feel depleted and exhausted due to neglecting your own self-care needs in favor of prioritizing others?

Our retreat offers a safe and sacred space for Black and Brown womxn to rest, heal, and reclaim their joy, allowing them to return to their lives feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to thrive.

You Deserve Rest, Too...

Black womxn face a multitude of challenges that can take a toll on their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. From navigating racial trauma and microaggressions to balancing multiple identities and caregiving responsibilities, the journey can often feel overwhelming and exhausting.

Self MAED (meditate align enlighten discover) was created to honor these unique life experiences, and our retreats are specifically designed to provide Black and Brown womxn with the support, healing, and restoration they need.

Rest is far from a simple nap or an uneventful weekend, this retreat offers a holistic approach to rest that nourishes your mind, body, and soul. It’s a chance to disconnect from the noise of the world and the ongoing critic that lives in your head.

Who would you be if you approached everyday well-rested and nourished? It’s time to reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.

More about Ayurvedic

Ayurvedic treatments are an integral part of Ayurveda, which is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems. Originating in India over 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit.

Ayurvedic treatments aim to restore balance and harmony to the body by addressing imbalances and promoting overall well-being. These treatments encompass a wide range of therapeutic practices, including herbal remedies, dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, massage therapies, and detoxification techniques.

Overall, Ayurvedic treatments are tailored to each individual’s unique constitution, imbalances, and health goals. They aim to promote holistic wellness by addressing the root causes of illness and restoring harmony to the body, mind, and spirit.

What is a Sister Circle?

At the heart of our retreats are the skillfully facilitated sister circles led by Shannon Mae. These circles serve as sacred spaces where authenticity, vulnerability, and support intertwine. Here, we gather to explore the essence of becoming Self MAED, learning and embodying the principles that define our journey.

Throughout the retreat, sisterhood and community take center stage. More than a mere gathering, it’s a bond forged in shared experiences, mutual growth, and the celebration of each unique journey.

Testimonials

“The biggest benefit of coming on this retreat was having the opportunity to just focus on me and release a lot of my emotional baggage. It was a time of healing and relaxation. I was provided with the opportunity to bond with some of the most beautiful, ac complished, and talented black women I have ever met in my life. The environment created by Shannon Mae at the villa allowed us to establish sisterly bonds and presented us with the opportunity to express our feelings and opinions in a healthy safe space. It was a time where I was heard, supported and felt included. I had the opportunity to let my hair down and just be me, and that was okay.”

“You changed my life! Gave me a whole new perspective.”

"It's refreshing to connect with a crew of sisters who mirror your journey and vibe. No need for pretenses or explanations – they just get it, you know? We're all rocking our unique styles, yet there's this unspoken understanding that binds us together. These safe havens are crucial for our growth and restoration. Now, I've forged bonds that'll last a lifetime."

Being around like - minded black women and hearing affirming stories made me realized that my issues aren’t unique. I realized that I needed to lean on my support system. I needed to ask for (and accept) help.

A Self MAED Retreat is where you can learn, share, bond and unify without judgement. It brought together women at the right tim e for the right reasons with the right process. An amazing experience that I will never forget and a connection with other sisters that will continue to grow after the retreat.
