Awakening Bliss 2025
Ubud, Gianyar Regency, Bali, Indonesia
September 14th-20th, 2025
Welcome to a space where you can breathe deeply, exhale fully, and truly be.
A space crafted just for you — a sanctuary where joy, pleasure, and bliss come together to celebrate the magic of Black women. This retreat is your personal invitation to rediscover the beauty of your essence and embrace the fullness of your desires.
More than a getaway, it’s a homecoming, where you’ll find yourself surrounded by women who see you, hear you, and honor you. Together, we’ll create a safe space for connection and warmth where laughter flows freely, and every moment is an offering to your joy. From meditations to deepen your connection to your spirit, to gatherings filled with soulful conversations, every detail is designed with you in mind.
At Awakening Bliss, we celebrate your pleasure as sacred. Through movement, discussion, and reflection, you’ll explore new ways to delight in the pleasures of your body and spirit.
You’ll dance, laugh, and maybe even scream — all in the name of nurturing the best version of you. There’s no need to prove or strive; this is your time to receive, to revel, and to reconnect.
And oh, the bliss that awaits! Imagine savoring nourishing vegan meals made with fresh local ingredients, soaking in the healing embrace of nature, and basking in the glow of smiles all around you. Whether it’s through journaling, movement, or simply resting, you’ll find countless ways to replenish your soul and please your senses.
Come as you are, with all your dreams, hopes, and desires. Leave with a heart full of gratitude, a spirit alight with bliss, and memories that will nourish you long after the retreat ends.
This is your time, your joy, your pleasure.
