We are the descendants of sages, storytellers, healers, and freedom fighters.
Join Hawah Kasat for a program that invites us to gather our inner resources, in our ancestors’ names and in our own. This retreat is for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to step outside the noise and return to the wisdom pulsing beneath it all. Rooted in playful ritual and guided by breath, movement, and sound, this is not about escape, but arrival into the quiet knowing that we are enough. Experience a space for deep rest, sound healing, laughter, and conscious conversations about the stresses we carry and how we can begin to lay these burdens down. Together, we’ll explore the liberating power of creativity through a dynamic fusion of:
Asana (postures)
Pranayama (breathwork)
Dhyana (meditation)
Sound healing
Storytelling circles
Our sangha will steep as tea through stillness and song, sweat and silence—each practice an invitation to collective revolutionary rest and healing. On one special evening, we’ll move beyond words and into rhythm and dance with a powerful journey-led experience by DJ Shango, who will guide us through a ceremonial soundscape channeling indigenous and world sounds that uplift, enlighten, and open the chakras. Come as you are, and together we’ll remember what it feels like to belong to our bodies, to each other, to the earth, and to the great mystery that connects us all.
This in-person retreat takes place in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health.
