10 years. 10 reflections. 🖤🤎💛

What started as a vision became a practice.
A practice became community.
What became community continues to ripple outward. 🌊

These reflections come from a decade of holding space, learning in real time, making mistakes, staying committed, and choosing care again and again.

A Decade of Devotion to Us.

If you’ve ever been part of an OYA Retreat—or have been quietly watching from afar—
✨ which reflection landed for you?
✨ or what has 10 years of growth taught you?

Drop a number, a word, or a sentence in the comments. 👇🏾
We’d love to hear what’s stayed with you.

Our Word of the Year: CELEBRATE ✨

Celebrate — to honour, to mark with joy, to gather in gratitude for what has been built, survived, and sustained.

This year, OYA Retreats turns 10. Ten years of choosing community. Ten years of centring Black women and women of colour in holistic wellness — before it was trending, before it was “en vogue,” and without ever asking for permission.

Back in 2025, we shared a truth that still guides us: joy fuels resistance. Celebration, for us, is not distraction — it’s devotion. It’s a refusal to be erased. It’s a remembering of who we are and why we began.

We celebrate being the first.
We celebrate continuing to serve our community ::: unapologetically.
We celebrate getting better with every offering, and feeling more connected with every Circle.
We celebrate the fact that, in a world heavy with grief and sorrow, we stand.

And as Celie so beautifully reminds us: “We’re still here!”

So yes — we choose CELEBRATE as our word of the year. Defiantly. Joyfully. Together.

This is just the beginning… more to come in due course 🌺

💬 What are you celebrating this year — big or small?

Happy New Moon in Sagittarius - the last New Moon of 2025 ♐️ 🌚

Happy Super Full Moon in Gemini - it’s the last full moon of 2025. Make it count!

01/12/2025

This is one of the few moments in the year when so many of us pause to practice gratitude together. We talk about gratitude often—how a steady practice can support our emotional wellbeing and even help protect against depression. But there are other benefits you might feel even more immediately in your day-to-day life.

A regular gratitude practice helps you care more deeply for your future self. It can inspire choices rooted in protection and nourishment—saving more money, choosing foods that honour your body, and planning for a future you actually want to live in.

And it’s not just about the individual. Gratitude also strengthens our pro-social behaviours, making us more empathetic, more generous, and more connected. Over time, you may start to feel more rooted in your community and less lonely. Yes—these benefits show up even if you’re practicing “alone.”

A gratitude journal can be a beautiful tool, but it doesn’t need to be complicated. Simply name a few things you’re grateful for each day. It’s just a quiet, powerful conversation between you and the Universe.

Happy New Moon in Scorpio 🦂♏️

17/11/2025

Rituals don’t have to be elaborate. They simply ask us to be present.

Whether it’s how you wake, how you wash your face, or how you move—intention turns the ordinary into something nourishing. 💛

What’s one small practice you’re choosing to approach with intention this week?
