A promise from my heart to yours...
Fam,
400 years ago, you were taken away from us...
We had no idea how to come out to find you.
We were disconnected physically and spiritually,
Yet, we were always meant to be connected.
Simply because you are family.
I want you to know, that in spirit we never forgot you.
We always knew that at the right time we would find each other.
And that time is now... It's time for you to come home to Africa.
To come home to yourself. To reconnect.
So that you can begin to live fully. To connect with yourself...
To begin to live the life that you have always dreamed of...
This land remembers you and we cannot wait to welcome you home!
❤️ Your African Sister
The Journey
Do you long to belong? Wonder why it seems hard to fully own your space, to feel completely at
home wherever you go? Is your inner voice spurring you to go beyond your limitations, so that
the bright light of your soul radiates? Are you yearning for spirit, mind and body alignment?
Believe it or not, there is a way back home to you.
Join us for this once in a lifetime retreat to Kenya, East Africa, to renew your spirit, discover
the truth of your mind, rejuvenate your tired body, and exchange exhaustion for inner peace.
Guided by African teachers of wellbeing, Jean Adero, and friends, you will remember your spirit, uncover tools that will help you to shift your perspective as you embrace your spiritual awakening and emotional wellbeing.

CULTURE
Immerse yourself in the richness of Kenya. Its food, song and dance, language and naming, hair, style, and fashion; and the richness of spiritual, cultural experiences that connect you with your African mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters,, who will delight in the relaxation, refreshing, and renewal of your soul (and their own). Explore local living, while honoring the dignity of the communities.
CONNECTION
Experience love, emotional safety, and soul bonding through collective mindfulness with harmonious friends. Enjoy soul-stirring, guided and open conversations to remind you that your voice matters, as you begin to reclaim every space that you occupy.
HEALING
Restore from the inside-out. Experience daily stillness and movement for your spiritual journey around Kenya's beauty, flora, and fauna. Focus your mind on the life that inspires you and go beyond the physical to love your body for both its form and function. Allow lessons in breathwork, self-care and letting go, your divine feminine/masculine, self-nourishing, and acceptance of who you always were.

It's Your Time...
“Until you dig a hole, you plant a tree,
you water it and make it survive,
you haven’t done a thing.
You are just talking…"
