For Her Pleasure
Retreat
Sensuality. Femininity. Renewal
November 28 - December 2
Negril, Jamaica
5 days and 4 nights
Hey Sis
I see you crushing your goals and working in a male dominated space, managing your household, living the entrepreneurial life, being super mom, breaking generational curses, while still looking fly in your heels and dunks…it can all be exhausting and the hardest part is finding you in the midst of life’s demands.
We have designed the retreat for you! Pack your bags, grab your passport, and prepare your mind to embark on a journey to reclaim your feminine nature, define your sexual persona, connect mindfully to the blockages that create a boring sex life, and soul discussions about the evolution of sensuality at different stages of life. You will return home empowered with a renewed sense of self and tools to prioritize yourself.
Aren't you tired of always “making shit happen” but losing time for yourself?
You deserve to experience pleasure and joy. Romance and sensational sex should be part of your lifestyle, not a chore on your to-do list.
Feeling emotionally drained creates disconnection from our physical needs and interrupts intimacy.
At this retreat, you will experience pleasure and joy through physical, emotional, mental, and social wellness.
Get ya’ sexy back in a space that celebrates your Black womxnhood, uplifts you in sisterhood, and offers you professional support as you explore your heart’s desires and awaken stagnant energy.
During this retreat you will:
- explore your sensuality
- connect to your femininity
- experience renewal of mind, body, and spirit.
- heal old wounds that prevent you from showing up as your full sexy self.
Join the sisterhood as we uncover our truths.

All-In Luxury
Wake up every morning to an ocean view of the sunrise at a private adults only and clothing-optional oceanfront boutique. This unique upscale and elegant naturist resort creates an environment that celebrates all bodies, preferences, and lifestyles.
You’re probably thinking…clothing optional? Wild right? We know! This is an opportunity that allows you to experience as much or as little as you choose. In our sessions together, we will explore why nudity is taboo, our personal relationship with our bodies, and who taught us these ideas (and so much more)! There is healing to be done and we are inviting you to do something different.
With full agency over your body and your choices, we believe that the private sections of the resort that are protected for clothing optional experiences is a space that brings liberation to our deepest fears.
Lounge in Luxury
Each room is complete with:
- an in-suite Jacuzzi soaker tub
- rain shower
- dual sinks
- seating area with a sofa bed
- unobstructed views of the ocean from a private balcony or terrace.
Self MAED retreats are small and intimate to provide each sister an opportunity to be seen and heard.

Shannon Mae, founder of Self MAED, created this space to serve womxn, like herself, who are looking for culturally appropriate and welcoming healing spaces. While fighting depression in 2013 she realized that therapy was assisting in the healing process; however, she needed a deeper transformation and healing space to explore her new sense of self. Shannon decided to Eat Live Pray like the famous book and movie. She has since traveled to 9 countries….and counting. Through her travels around the world she grew, healed, and discovered new beauties within herself…and yes even meditated with Thai Monks!
Shannon Mae has completed her Social Justice and AntiRacist Raja Yoga Teacher in 2018, completed Koru Mindfulness training, is certified in Youth and Adult Mental Health First Aid, CPR, Koru Mindfulness Training, and Wellness Counseling from Cornell University.
Shannon still works full-time in Higher Education as a passion career. She has passionately served students who are first in their family to attend college and who may be from under-resourced backgrounds. A path similar to her own. She is dedicated in creating culturally relevant space for Black and Brown college students throughout her 13 years in higher education. She currently works at Cornell University. Shannon holds a Bachelors of Mass Communications and Masters of Science in Instructional Technology.
