Culturally Rooted. Luxuriously Restorative.
Retreats and community designed exclusively for high-achieving Black women who are ready to rest deeply, reclaim joy, and thrive fully.
Culturally-Attuned Experiences • Intimate & Luxurious Spaces • Deeply Restorative Care
You’ve built a life by always being the strong one, at work, at home, and in your community.
But behind your relentless strength, there’s a quiet exhaustion, a silent yearning for space to breathe.
Compassion Collective was created precisely for you, to offer a luxurious sanctuary where you can finally stop performing strength and start experiencing care.
Here, you're invited to set down the armor, reconnect to joy, and reclaim your full humanity. You don't need fixing; you deserve tending.
Experience the radical power of collective rest and culturally-rooted care, and return to your life refreshed, clear, and reimagined.

Our flagship offering is a series of intimate, luxury retreats that blend spaciousness, self-reflection, and communal care.
But the vision goes far beyond five days in a beautiful location.
It’s about offering care so complete, so affirming, and so beautifully designed that you remember what it feels like to be whole.
Compassion Collective is what I wish existed for me when I was burnt out, depleted, and longing for connection-
a space that meets you where you are, invites you to lay your armor down, and gives you the tools to come home to yourself.
Over the last two years we’ve grown from retreats to encompass a holistic collection of luxurious wellness experiences specifically for high-achieving Black women who are ready to replace chronic resilience with ease, connection, and aligned ambition.
More than retreats… this is communal wellness
