Sweet Talk Thursday

There’s nothing like hearing how the sweetness continues long after the retreat ends.

Past retreater Dionna Mitchell (.now)joined us in Antigua hoping to refill her cup -to feel full again.
And that’s exactly what she found.

She said she left the retreat overflowing - grateful, grounded, and finally able to harness the magic she’d been craving in her everyday life.

That’s what happens when Black Women are given space to pause, to be poured into, and to remember that softness and luxury are their birthright.

If you’ve been feeling that tug - the one that says it’s your turn to rest and rise -
The Sweet Life Annual Retreat: Cape Town 2026 was designed for you.

There’s always a moment during our retreats when everything shifts.

It’s the circle time - around a table, by the fire, at the beach.

Stories start to spill, laughter turns to tears, and something sacred unfolds.

Because when Black Women have space to be all of who we are - to be seen, celebrated, and held - something powerful happens.

We expand. We soften. We rise.

Yes, the destinations are breathtaking.
The food? Chef’s kiss.
The luxury? Always intentional.

But the real magic of a Sweet Life Retreat is in the moments of truth-the spaciousness to honor every part of ourselves.

That’s the sweetness we’re building.
That’s the movement.

Founder shares her story and her BIG love for Black Women in part 2 of Behind the Sweetness, a series exploring how Holistree grew into The Sweet Life - the Luxury Wellness Lifestyle Brand for Black Women.

What happens when Black women say yes to themselves?

They remember their worth.
They reclaim their rest.
They embody abundance.

At our very first Sweet Life Retreat in Curaçao, the women recited our Sweet Life Mantra together in circle:

“I deserve all the good I want and I still receive more.
Abundance comes to me as freely as the air I breathe.
I’m filled with love, joy, grace, and peace.
My cup runs over… I proclaim a life that is sweet.”

This is more than words. It’s the life we are choosing. The legacy we are building. The Sweet Life we are creating -together.

We’re bringing this intention to Cape Town for our 4th Annual Sweet Life Retreat.

📍 November 5–10, 2026

It’s time to say yes to yourself.

Behind the Sweetness: Part 1 ✨

Holistree was born when life pushed for a slow down, a breath, and a start over.

What began as one retreat with 5 women in Puerto Rico has now grown into a movement where Black Women step fully into rest, luxury, and abundance.

Listen as our Founder tells the story of how Holistree started- why retreats?

This series is a chance to share our journey with you - the story of how Holistree became The Sweet Life.

Tune in to part 1 of Behind the Sweetness.

Sweet Talk Thursday

“Being here reminded me of the woman I am becoming. Every laugh, every conversation, every meal shared filled me with a power I didn’t even know I was missing.”

That’s the magic of our Sweet Life Retreats - transformation doesn’t just happen on the itinerary, it happens at the table. In the sisterhood. In the moments that linger long after the trip is over.

Next November, we gather in Cape Town for our 4th Annual Sweet Life Retreat.

The table is waiting, and so is the transformation.

Registration is now open - will you join us? (Link in bio)

There’s something sacred about the moment your feet meet the water and you realize—you’ve finally arrived. Not just at the retreat, but at a place where you’ve chosen you.

Day one of The Annual Sweet Life Retreat always begins with a pause—a collective exhale by the sea. Here, surrounded by sisterhood and the rhythm of the waves, we’re reminded that sweetness isn’t something we chase… it’s something we allow.

This isn’t just a getaway. It’s a return—to joy, to rest, to the parts of ourselves that get lost in the noise of daily life.

Here’s to every Black Woman standing at the edge of something beautiful. May you always find your way back to the water—and to yourself.
