Tulum, Mexico

Wednesday October 2 - Sunday October 6, 2024

Hosted by Mel Douglas, BWYC Founder.

Join me in Tulum for Aligned Expansion, an all-inclusive healing and growth retreat for Black women. This retreat is centered on the four themes of my Aligned Expansion program: presence, release, alignment, and expansion. Moving through these themes, we’ll focus on creating room in our life for more.

Together we will spend five days and four nights at this beautiful beach-front, all-sand resort immersed in yoga practice, sound healing, meditation, a variety of interpersonal workshops, journaling sessions, and so much more. We’ll enjoy daily nutritious meals, optional group activities, and take the time to truly soak up the beauty of Tulum.

Embark on a journey to get present, release what’s no longer serving you, gain tools to maintain your alignment, and create room to expand in your life. Leave feeling rested and recharged with a renewed sense of clarity for how to all the things you desire to flow into your life.
