The Sacred Rage Retreat
There are things we carry because we never had a safe place to put them. The relationship that disappointed us. The person we still haven't forgiven. The years we spent being everything for everyone. The boundary we wish we'd set sooner. The grief. The resentment. The exhaustion.
The anger we swallowed because we didn't want to be difficult, bitter, dramatic, ungrateful, or "too much."
And eventually, carrying all of it gets heavy.
Release what you've been carrying. Make room for what comes next.
The Sacred Rage Retreat is where we put some of it down.
For five days on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, we'll gather in sisterhood to explore the emotions underneath the anger, reconnect with our bodies, tell ourselves the truth, and create space for something new.
Joy. Pleasure. Acceptance. Boundaries. Softness. Love. Peace.
Not because we've learned to pretend the difficult things never happened.
Because we've finally given ourselves permission to feel them.
Reserve your bungalow for $350. Retreat packages begin at $2100 with monthly payment installments.

An Invitation, Not an Application
This retreat is a safe space.
We believe something powerful happens when women gather in spaces built on trust instead of performance.
There are no strangers trying to impress one another.
No pressure to be "healed."
No expectation to have it all together.
Only a circle of women committed to witnessing one another with compassion, honesty, and love.
This is not all tears. There will be joy, laughter, movement, and release that leaves you feeling lighter when you return home than when you first arrived.
Spaces are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and once they are filled, registration will close.

Shanicia Boswell
Shanicia Boswell is an author, entrepreneur, and founder of The Self Care Retreats, where she has spent years creating intimate experiences for women around the world to reconnect with themselves outside of the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of everyday life.
Her approach to women's healing is rooted in honest conversation, sisterhood, reflection, spirituality, and creating space for the emotions we don't always know what to do with.
At Sacred Rage, Shanicia will guide women in exploring what sits beneath anger and frustration, what they're ready to stop carrying, and what they want to intentionally make room for next.

Through adornment, movement, reflection, and intentional community, she creates spaces where women can reconnect with their bodies, voices, and the parts of themselves they may have learned to silence.
She believes rage can be more than anger. It can be information, energy, and a pathway back to truth, boundaries, and personal power.
At Sacred Rage, Ashaunti invites women to explore what their emotions are asking them to acknowledge, release, and reclaim.
