Our Space. Our Time.

“This weekend is needed because professional women of color carry an extraordinary weight—leading,
building, creating, and holding space for others, often without receiving the same in return. In an
environment where we are expected to be both exceptional and invisible, we rarely have time to rest,
be vulnerable, or simply *be*. The For The Urban Soul Retreat offers a necessary pause—a space to
exhale, reconnect, and remember that our wellness is not a luxury, it’s a lifeline. This is a weekend to
come home to ourselves.”

 - Donna C. Williams & Adriane Harris, Co-founders
