testimonials
“We poured into each other, cried HARD, laughed harder, and healed even more. It affirmed for me that I really want to do all the living, loving, and laughing I can while I’m here. We are meant to enjoy this life.” - Jeanine
“Grateful for the time of release and letting go during The Self Care Retreat. I learned that I am always in control with the power over my emotions, thoughts, and actions. Everything is temporary. ” - Phyllicia
“I watched the sea this week and there’s no even balance in the waves. It’s just a flow, an order from God to do what’s necessary at this moment. I needed rest and I took it. I thank the heavens for all of my new and closer Sistars from The Self Care Retreat” - Chimere
“All of my fronting came undone. What a blessing it is to be held. What a blessing it is to be seen. What a blessing it is to lay bay. What a blessing it is to let go. What a blessing it is to be free. I am a woman in bloom. Vulnerable, soft, resilient, and determined.” - Melissa
“The Self Care Retreat wasn’t just about the glistens and the glam. It was about healing, growth, connecting, and releasing.” - Shantii
“I loved the company of the high vibrational women. Women who get me and nurture the wild, free woman that’s emerging as I continuously shed layer upon layer of my own conditioning - as I get closer to the truth of who I am. A piece of God in ecstatic motion who is creating my life through my thoughts and actions. Thank you for showing Black women, myself included, examples of Black women yogis who are authentic, vulnerable, and free.” - Marsha

Who We Are
At The Self Care Retreat, we believe that rest is revolutionary and that true wellness begins from within. We are a global community of women committed to reclaiming our peace, prioritizing our joy, and making space for intentional healing. Founded by Shanicia Boswell, The Self Care Retreat was created to offer transformative travel experiences that center Black women and women of color through rest, sisterhood, cultural immersion, and soulful reflection.
From the serene coastlines of Tanzania to the lush countrysides of Tuscany, our retreats are more than just getaways—they’re sacred pauses. We curate unforgettable journeys designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit while connecting you with like-minded women who are walking the same path of growth and self-love.
You deserve softness. You deserve stillness. You deserve self-care.
And we’re here to remind you of that—every step of the way.
