We are excited to announce our 3rd Annual Winter Retreat!
You are invited to gather with us at the Hearth, a sacred space of warmth, transformation, and possibility created with deep love for Black people. Join us for our Third Annual Winter Gathering, an intimate weekend devoted to healing, ancestral remembrance, and the power of community to help us reconnect with the light that lives within us.
In a world that can ask so much of us, it is easy to lose touch with the parts of ourselves that carry our hope, joy, and sense of possibility. Sometimes, we need a place to pause, breathe, and remember the fire within us has not gone out. It may simply need tending.
Rooted in the restorative energies of winter, Hearth of Healing invites us to gather around the warmth of collective care, Indigenous wisdom, sacred plant medicine, and the reflections we offer one another. Within an intentional, trauma-informed, all-Black container, we create space to lay down what we have been carrying, reconnect with our ancestral strength, and nurture the conditions for healing and renewal.
Facilitator Adorable Earth Angel brings over a decade of experience working within sacred plant medicine traditions, alongside ongoing learning with Indigenous elders and practitioners of South America, including the Shipibo-Konibo tradition. Her work honors the wisdom of Indigenous ceremonial practices while centering the richness, resilience, and healing of the Black experience.
With the guidance of Grandmother medicine, we invite you to come as you are and join us in this shared prayer. May this Hearth be a place where hope is rekindled, our spirits are nourished, and the warmth we cultivate together becomes a light we carry back into our lives and communities.
Come tend your flame. Come remember your light. Come gather at the Hearth.

Location amenities
Nestled on 280 forested acres in South Lake County, just north of Napa Valley, the retreat center provides a serene and secluded environment for our healing journey. The lodge, cabins, swimming pool, and trails offer simple comfort and seclusion amidst nature's embrace.
Accommodation options include cabins with 31 twin and full-sized beds in single and double rooms, along with limited space for camping. The facilities also feature several meeting areas, a pool, library, art studio, meditation building, and hiking trails that wind through 280 acres of pine and oak forest, providing ample opportunities for relaxation, reflection, and rejuvenation.
How We Nourish Ourselves
Food is an essential part of the healing process, especially when working with sacred plant medicine. For this retreat, we will be providing our signature hearty, nourishing dinner soups as always, along with a grounding breakfast each morning. In the spirit of community care and shared abundance, we invite participants to contribute to a potluck-style lunch, bringing one or two vegan items for everyone to enjoy.
We’ll share a suggested list of offerings to help guide the potluck, though participants are welcome to bring any vegan dish that feels aligned. As always, our meals are crafted to support the body’s healing and detoxification process, healthy, nourishing, and free of animal products and gluten.
We also check in about dietary needs and will do our best to accommodate individual sensitivities so that everyone is nourished throughout the weekend.
