Just because 🩷

08/03/2026

Today we celebrate International Women’s Day and this year’s theme: Give to Gain. ✨🌍

At OYA Retreats, we see this every time women gather. 🤎

When women give themselves rest, we gain healing. 🌿
When women share their stories, we gain wisdom. 🗣️✨
When women build community, we gain power. 🤝🏾🔥

This is why we create these spaces.
Because when women are restored, resourced and connected — we all gain.

Happy IWD to the incredible women in our community. 💛🌺

Happy Full Blood Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo 🌑♍️

This was the first trailer we made 🤩

Some of the answers aren’t offered in their entirety, but you get the gist. 😀

As we reflect on we’re looking back on what has changed, and what remains the same.

Our commitment to build community and co-create spaces that serve Black women and women of colour remains steadfast. 🖤🤎💛

But, things haven’t changed so much in the world since we recorded this at a 2017 retreat

Black women and women of colour are definitely better served by, for example skin and beauty brands (thanks for showing folks how it’s done), publications for us/by us, and more wellness spaces just for us. But we are also facing a world full of crises - big and small. And though you may think it self-indulgent to carve out time to rest, to heal, to connect with others and ourselves.

We must. You must.

There is no sustainable form of resistance without rest. ✊🏾

Got a maker in the OYA community? 👀✨
This one’s specifically for you.

For our May OYA Retreat, we’re curating our goodie bags and we want them filled with community-made magic only. 🌿🖤
That means OYA folks—you either follow us or you’ve attended an OYA retreat before.

If that’s you:
👇🏾 Tag yourself below
👇🏾 Tell us what you make + where you’re based
👇🏾 Make sure you’re following (or you’re a past retreat guest)

We’re intentionally keeping this in the family—circulating resources, spotlighting talent, and supporting the craftsmanship already living in our community. 💫

Please note: this call is for OYA community members only.

Why OYA now? Why OYA still? Why OYA more than ever.

We asked 5 OYA Retreats community builders why spaces like OYA matter more in 2026 than they did in 2016.

Their answers kept circling the same truth:
because the world is louder.
because division is marketed as conversation.
because rest is treated like a luxury.
because so many of us are carrying so much.

OYA exists as a safer space — to exhale, to soften, to unplug from the noise and return to yourself.
A place to decompress from everything happening around us.
A place where you don’t have to explain yourself, defend your humanity or perform belonging.
A place to be held. A place to simply be.

Community isn’t a trend for us — it’s a practice. And in this moment, it’s essential. 🖤🤎💛

What do you most need from a space like OYA right now?
Rest? Connection? Quiet? Feeling seen?
