Personal Growth Retreats

Our retreats are curated for “Recovering Superwomen”: ambitious, high-achieving professionals, leaders and mindful travelers ready to step out of the daily noise and restore mind, body and spirit. Whether you’re seeking rest, personal growth or deeper connection, we meet you where you are. No yoga or wellness experience required.

We pair world-class wellness practices, like mindfulness, restorative movement and holistic self-care, with rich cultural immersion, breathtaking landscapes and five-star hospitality. It’s not an isolated spa stay. Every journey weaves together nourishing cuisine, community and transformative experiences.

Absolutely. Many of our guests travel solo. From the moment you land, you’re hosted and supported, and our small groups make it easy to feel welcome. Lifelong connections form within days. You’ll arrive as strangers and leave as sisters.

We’d never force you, but we strongly encourage joining in. The wellness workshops and shared experiences are what make an Ubuntu retreat different from other group travel. If group time and wellness activities don’t appeal to you, this may not be the right fit.

Every detail is planned by our team and trusted local partners. Each journey is trauma-informed and led by a licensed clinical psychologist, so you can go deep and feel safe doing it.

Your peace of mind is our priority. Vetted ground transportation will greet you at the airport and bring you safely to the retreat. Airport pick-up, drop-off and all on-the-ground transportation are included, and you’ll get detailed arrival instructions well before your flight.

Airfare isn’t included. Once you book, we’ll share arrival details to help you plan your flights.

Requirements vary by destination and passport. After you book, we’ll send an up-to-date checklist covering visas, recommended vaccinations and passport validity. Passport, visa and vaccination fees aren’t included, and we always recommend seeing a travel health specialist before your trip.

Yes. Comprehensive travel insurance is required for all guests. We strongly recommend coverage for trip cancellation, medical care and emergency evacuation, including “Cancel for Any Reason” or “Cancel for Work” options, so you can fully relax.

We partner with luxury properties, boutique eco-lodges and private estates chosen for their beauty, serenity and high standard of service. Rooms come with premium amenities, with both private and shared options.

Shared means you room with another woman on the retreat. Many of our sisters say it’s where the deepest friendships begin. Single means a private room of your own.

Yes. Our culinary teams craft fresh, farm-to-table meals tailored to your needs, including plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and halal diets. Just share your preferences on your intake questionnaire before you arrive.

Once you arrive, our retreats are designed to be all-inclusive: luxury accommodations, chef-prepared meals and non-alcoholic beverages, ground transportation, scheduled group excursions and all guided wellness programming.

Airfare, passport and visa fees, alcoholic beverages, tips, personal upgrades, and any activities or meals outside the group itinerary. For Ghana, the yellow fever vaccination is also not included.

Yes. A $500 deposit reserves your spot, and monthly payment plans let you spread the rest over time. Final balances are usually due 30 days before departure.

Your $500 deposit is non-refundable under any circumstances. Beyond your deposit, if you cancel:

• 90+ days out: 25% of your payments are forfeited
• 60–90 days out: 50% of your trip price
• Within 60 days: 100% of your trip

If we cancel for reasons beyond our control, you’ll get a credit toward a future retreat, valid for one year.
