Greetings,
My name is Satya, and prior to becoming a world traveler and expat in Costa Rica, I left New York City to experience Central America. Though I enjoyed the big Apple’s blistering pace, I was drained by racist ideology hovering over US culture, and I wanted a different experience. I had a magical experience traveling around Panama, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. While in Costa Rica, I volunteered at a majestic butterfly garden and consequently traded in my heels for sandals only to find that I was happier barefoot. I prioritized resting in my feminine energy over capitalism and in return I found complete bliss, optimal health, high quality of life and peace, something materialism could never buy. I discovered that authentic luxury comes from taking care of your emotional wellbeing, from the physical to the food that we eat and beyond. I climbed mountains and rode my bike under the stars. I meditated more than I ever had in my entire life, and it was here in the Caribbean of Costa Rica, where my spiritual journey uncontrollably blossomed. I learned a different way of living, a more holistic and organic way of seeing the world. I learned that our lives are really our own, and we can create any beauty we want. I love the energy of Costa Rica. It has become my home. When I was in the United States, I would always say to myself, “I’m leaving the country for a while at some point.” I had not realized that those thoughts would later manifest into my future.
It was also here about in Costa Rica, where I continued the understanding that Black women experience misogyny and anti-blackness within our own communities and from other races in the United States and globally. I was able to see it firsthand while living and traveling to so many different countries. I realized that there was this pattern of continually seeing black women experiencing misogyny and anti-blackness — Which led me to recognize that systemic racism was more substantial than what we knew. Although Costa Rica has a history of racism and misogyny that still exists today, the most transformative part of my journey was not only allowing the lush nature of Costa Rica to change my life, but realizing the importance of sharing this experience with other women. Being outside the United States, immersed in nature, and healing through the spiritual practices of gentle yoga and meditation, holistic eating, and connecting with the elements, our ancestors, and each other was profound. It became vital to create a sanctuary for Black women to experience peace, tranquility, culture, feminine wellness, and healing. These healing retreats offer a transformative opportunity to reconnect with nature and rediscover holistic well-being.
I birthed Black Women Healing Retreats out of the desire to connect Black Women to nature and themselves. The retreat’s goal is to bring women together for healing and community building in the in the gorgeous jungles of Costa Rica. During the retreats, the women practice yoga, experience enriching and educational workshops by expert facilitators, go hiking on waterfalls, swim in the bluest oceans, embody their femininity and practice self-love. The retreat is a sacred sanctuary held at a gorgeous oasis that allows Black women to get back to nature in the beautiful jungles of the Caribbean of Costa Rica. It is also a space about unwind, unlearn and disconnect from the psychological trauma of systemic racism. These retreats are custom designed for Black Women. If you are afraid of traveling alone, this is the perfect opportunity to begin your travel story because of the support you will receive from your traveling sisters and BWHR. These retreats are a sanctuary for women to understand the true essence and vitality of holistic wellness, femininity and healing, and we honor and welcome you!
Please Note: Although I will be at SOME of the retreats, I will not always be accessible during the retreat as Black women shouldn’t be expected to do everything. However, there will always be facilitators, teachers, healers, and staff during this wonderful experience.

About Satya
Satya is the founder of Black Women Healing Retreats, the #1st and #1 retreat and wellness company for Black women. Satya created the first philosophy centering on the wellness, femininity, and healing of Black women.

Her mission and purpose are to deprogram black women’s minds from systemic indoctrination and to revitalize the birthright of femininity, healing, and self-love. Satya has inspired thousands of women to travel outside the United States and embrace natural self-healing practices. Through her healing retreats, she has empowered Black women to step beyond the confines of the U.S. and create better, more fulfilling lives for themselves, reconnecting with nature, and embarking on transformative journeys of healing and self-discovery.
After HBO Vice News created a segment highlighting Satya and BWHR vision and mission in Costa Rica, Satya and the Black Women Healing Retreats instantly went viral all over the world, putting wellness, femininity and healing for Black women on the global map.

🕊️🕊️🕊️ In the face of someone’s death, we sometimes slip into a state of silence, depression, and destruction, which can perpetuate internal suffering stemming from immense grief in response to the death of a loved one, someone you know, or even the thought of you or someone dying. In this virtual workshop, Healing After The Death Of A Loved One, you will be able to understand death, grief, and acceptance. Together, you will discuss common notions about death and grief, and you will learn to channel grief into contentment.
In this virtual workshop, the women will make space for grief by acknowledging its remarkable imminence, learning about grief response, ways to cope with grief, and transcending our perception of death and grief into acceptance.
Please Note: To keep the sacredness of women communing and healing together, you will only be allowed to enter the room with your camera on.

Today 🌹🌹🌹 Black Women Healing Retreats will be hosting a Healing Through Shadow Work workshop. In this virtual workshop, you will learn about shadow work and you will dive deep into shedding and integrating the shadow. This workshop will allow you to go deep within boundaries, toxic positivity, self-accountability, letting go of the victim narrative, and unpacking trauma. In healing and taking care of your well-being, we must be able to look at the parts of ourselves that we are ashamed of or ignore so that healing can take place. This honest exploration is crucial for true healing. We assure you that as you begin to integrate your shadows with your light, your life will improve for the better.

▫️get cozy someplace, your bed, yoga mat, couch
▫️journal/notepad + pen
▫️candles or incense
▫️water or warm beverage such as herbal tea

Gentle Reminder🌹🌹🌹 You do not have to be strong all the time. You are allowed to be soft and embody your femininity. When you are tired, you deserve to rest. When you need love and support, you are allowed to receive that. It is essential to remove the mindset of being a “super woman” and allowing yourself to flow and to just be.

💫 Ladies, It can be easy to abandon prioritizing yourself because there can be distractions in daily life, whether it’s people, things, or places. Still, the effort goes a long way, and the more consistent you are, the more natural it will become for you.🌹
