Empower Your Journey, Renew Your Spirit

Join a community of like-minded professional women of color in a space where you can rest, reflect, and renew your sense of purpose.

  • Enjoy beautiful hikes through stunning landscapes , rejuvenating yoga sessions, and even stargazing. We emphasize connection with nature as a way to reconnect more deeply with your body and refresh your mind.

  • Designed to enhance mental well-being, our supportive workshops teach practical mental health strategies that promote community wellness. Participants engage in activities that build mindfulness, emotional awareness, and stress management skills.

  • This unique experience invites participants to explore the synergy between clear, actionable goals and holistic self-care practices. Through our guided workshops, reflective exercises, and group discussions, you will learn to prioritize your well-being while moving toward your aspirations. Discover how to create a balanced roadmap that honors your mental health and fuels your personal growth.

  • Daily reflections at our retreat offer a serene space for participants to pause, breathe, and connect with their inner selves. Each evening, we gather to share our experiences, thoughts, and feelings that emerged throughout the day via journaling, art therapy, and group discussions.

What You’ll Experience

About The Facilitators

My why behind Revive and Thrive is to provide women with a sanctuary for rest, reflection, and a chance to reclaim their power—something I wish I’d had during my own burnout journey in academia

Dr. Leann Smith of The Mending Place

Burned out and battling illness, I wanted to experience slowness and rest. I was able to re-calibrate and figure out what I really wanted.

Dr. Lauren Foster of Fostering Wellness

Our shared experience left us both frustrated and burned out. After leaving academia, we both sought to pursue other dreams. We felt the push-pull of attempting to balance the demands of our jobs and our personal lives. Knowing how fortunate we both were to be able to exit difficult work environments, we wanted to create a space where women like us could just process the difficulties of trying to achieve work/life balance.

Dr. Maya Angelou

“Every person needs to take one day away.  A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future.  Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us…”
