River Divas Retreat

Join facilitators Aimee and Atieno for a beautiful weekend in wild and wonderful West Virginia, for the purpose of deepening your connection to your own inner beauty and deservingness.

Pleasure comes in many forms: floating in nature, eating healthy food prepared together, sampling, local brews or curated cocktails, moving our bodies with the breath, guided visualization adventures, sharing our hearts and being seen, witnessing each other.

Limited to 12 women so that everyone can have their own bed. Carpooling is encouraged and we will help facilitate that. Front wheel or 4 Wheel drive vehicles are rec recommended. While we may open registration later, for the moment we encourage you to notify us about anyone you’d like to have invited.
