Mission
Mission : Welcome to Preserving Peace Wellness Retreats, a sanctuary designed for all Indigenous women and women of color who are ready to embark on a transformative journey towards creating the lives they desire. At the core of our mission is the belief that true change begins with a shift in mindset. We understand that our thoughts shape our reality, and by giving ourselves permission to live authentically and joyfully, we set the stage for profound personal growth.
Our retreats are more than just a getaway; they are a sacred space for you to play, embrace your true self, and liberate the woman you were created to be. Sisterhood forms the foundation of our gatherings, providing a supportive environment where we can be mirrors reflecting the divine essence within each other. During our retreats, we offer you tools to heighten your awareness of your inner and outer world. As a collective, we awaken from unconsciousness and consciously connect to spirit, source, and energy. Expect to engage in transformative experiences like meditation, yoga, dance, circle gatherings, holistic eating, spiritual rituals, and communion with nature. Our intention is clear – to create an environment that is not just restorative and recharging, but one that sets you free to return home to your self-sanctuary. This is a call, a movement for those who are ready to connect with their inner being, activate their femininity, and unapologetically reclaim and preserve their peace.
Sis, you are invited to join us on this empowering journey of self-discovery and well-being.
