THE BLISS-FULL WEEKEND RETREAT
A weekend where you get to stop carrying everything.
November 13–16, 2026
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
$2,400 | Limited to 12 women
Four days and three nights created for accomplished Black women who want space to rest, receive, reconnect with themselves, and decide what they want the next part of their lives to feel like.
Success Should Feel as Good as It Looks
There is nothing wrong with wanting more from a life that is already successful.
It’s okay to want more pleasure, more freedom, more support!
You don’t have to blow up your life or do anything uncomfortably drastic to create one that feels better.
Taking some time and space to get quiet, breathe, and listen can be a life-changing experience.
Sometimes you need enough distance from your everyday responsibilities to hear yourself clearly again.
That is what this weekend gives you.
This Retreat Is for You If…
Your life looks successful, but it does not feel as satisfying as you expected.
You are tired of automatically becoming the person everyone depends on.
You have spent years meeting goals and are beginning to question what you actually want now.
You are entering a new chapter in your career, relationships, family, identity, or life.
You want more pleasure, purpose, freedom, beauty, connection, and support.
You want to be around accomplished Black women without having to explain the realities that come with being a Black woman who is successful, capable, and heavily relied upon.
You are ready to spend a few days receiving instead of automatically giving.
You do not need to be in crisis.
You only need to know that you want more room for yourself inside the life you have created.
Four Days Centered On You
The Bliss-Full Weekend Retreat is intentionally intimate.
Only 12 women will share this experience.
That gives us room for meaningful conversation, personal reflection, connection, laughter, rest, pleasure, and the kind of moments that cannot happen in a room filled with hundreds of people.
Throughout the weekend, we will create space to explore:
The Life You Have Created
What still feels good.
What costs you too much.
What you have outgrown.
What you are ready to stop carrying.
Your Version of Bliss
Bliss is personal.
It may mean more rest. More money. Less responsibility. A healthier relationship. A new direction. More pleasure. Greater support. A different relationship with work. More time. More beauty. More freedom.
You get to decide what it means for you.
What You Want Next
You have spent a significant part of your life becoming successful.
This weekend gives you room to ask a different question:
What do I want now?
The Support You Need
Being capable does not mean you should have to do everything alone.
We will talk honestly about support, relationships, boundaries, responsibility, and what changes when you stop automatically positioning yourself as the person who will handle everything.
Pleasure Without Permission
Pleasure does not have to wait until the work is finished.
Neither does beauty, joy, connection, rest, or ease.
You are allowed to build those things into the life you are living now.
Your Home for the Weekend
The Modern Castle
For four days, our home will be a private waterfront villa in Fort Lauderdale designed for gathering, beauty, comfort, and space.
The three-story home features dramatic waterfront living spaces, gold-leaf ceilings, a botanical greenhouse, heated pool, hot tub, rooftop terrace, multiple outdoor decks and lounge areas, and a private dock.
There are spaces to gather together and spaces to slip away when you want quiet.
Sit beside the water.
Take your coffee outside.
Spend time at the pool.
Find a beautiful corner and read.
Stay up talking.
Go to bed early.
Laugh.
Think.
Do absolutely nothing for a while.
The setting is part of the retreat because your surroundings matter.
For these four days, you get to live somewhere that feels special.
Rest. Receive. Reconnect.
This is not a weekend packed from morning until night so you can return home needing a vacation from your retreat.
There will be guided experiences and conversations.
There will also be room.
Room to sleep.
Room to sit by the water.
Room to connect with other women.
Room to be quiet.
Room to think.
Room to laugh.
Room to enjoy where you are.
Room to choose what you need.
Because a retreat about Bliss should actually feel good while you are there.
