“Ånewsün (a/new/sun) retreat is inspired by the Octavia Butler quote - “there is nothing new under the sun but there are new suns.”
I wanted a space where black women could fall apart in if they needed, space they could rest easy, where they didn’t have to take care of themselves so much. This was curated to nurture and care to every detail…so simply put Black women could just sit to sit, lay just to lay and be in leisure (free time). Perhaps in that they can experience their “new sun” amongst an intimate collective of women doing the same.”
I want to sponsor Ånewsün retreat or ask someone to sponsor me.

+ When you pay it forward you are taking stake in addressing the disparities that exists in spaces and intersections BIPOC navigate in their health, care and healing. All donations and sponsorships directly go to gift registration fees, and to cover any expenses that could better make things more accessible.
+You are creating a world that fosters rest, holistic health & care equity and promoting sustainable healing through community, therapeutic care & experiences.
+In so few words, every single person who wants & needs to come to this, deserve it in more ways than one. Rest and curated care is basic human need & right. This is one collective that has been under-protected & cared for.

*I want you to know that asking for support isn’t always easy. But I want to tell you even if you do have the resources, there is no shame at all in creating an opportunity for people to help alleviate things for you. We all need to reimagine care and one of these ways is by allowing people to care for your expenses or cover your needs by letting people know the best ways to support you. Here are some things I myself and clients of mines have used to garner community and support. Please fill out the form “I want a new sun” above so we can connect & utilize our resources together!**

**Hey, (insert name). Before I begin I want to say, this isn’t easy for me to ask you this.
I am in a season in my life right now where I am realizing how much rest, and time away from my everyday responsibilities I need. I found this retreat called Ånewsün. This retreat is focused solely on rest, care, and bringing intimate collectives of women like myself together to slow sip tea, have hand-drawn baths and every single meal cooked. Along with the other offerings, this could be an opportunity for me to take a much needed breath, and to just be for a moment or two.
In this season, I am learning to lean on my village more and to be vulnerable with where I am in my wellness. With that being said for me to attend, the rate per person is $2,500 and it includes everything outside of my airfare. I am asking my community to help get me there by donating (give a number or exactly what you need even if it’s babysitting or a ride to the airport)
Thank you for being who you are to me, and for loving me in all the ways. Let me know if you can support. okay love you byyyyeee. (Insert your ending)
