Past Retreats
Botanical Paradise June 2018
This retreat was the inaugural retreat in which 8 guests came to the island for 7 days and nights. We foraged the rain forest, visited the Grove's baobab tree and ate at a few local black owned eateries. We also managed to throw down in the kitchen making such dishes like Squash Nebula, Curry Eggplant and the infamous Cosmic Collards. This retreat had many special touches such as guest poet, historian and author Geron Richardson who read some of his historically based poems in Freedom City (Or Fredericksted). This historical edge is something we've decided to amp up in the next retreat by offering more insight into the island's history.

The Return of AyAy (December 2018- REGISTRATION CLOSED) Picture Gallery coming soon!
Islands have always been viewed as mystical by many. Filled with legends and myths that have shaped the culture over time. Many of these islands may boast a 'colorful' colonial foundation but one trip to St. Croix will tell a much different story. Hidden behind the many layers of culture lies the indigenous truths via sites and historical accounts that show this island has been much more for far longer. The Return of AyAy is an ode to the ancients who've left behind clues as to who they were and what we will become. Chilling, exhilarating and overall eye opening the history of Saint Croix will amaze and motivate.
Playfully integrated with history, the indigenous flora and fauna will act as a conduit for absorbing island culture as you learn the most when getting involved with nature. Many of the locals have extensive knowledge on herbs and their uses. You'll also have behind the scenes insight on how to prepare delicious, soulful vegan meals with cooking workshops.
