Retreat 2027

The Sacred Conversations Ancestral Experience returns for 2027 in a whole new way.

Sacred Conversations With Our Ancestors returns

Sacred Conversations With Our Ancestors is an annual ritual retreat. We gather on blessed land on the East coast of Barbados as a powerful spiritual force committed to doing the work. From the island’s East Coast one can travel the Atlantic, to Africa, without touching any other landmass. It is a direct connection to our shared lineage.

The retreat is a 4-day ritual-based experience, honoring your Ancestors and recharging your spiritual connection.

Whether you are beginning your journey or living a spiritually in-tune life, this gathering will have much to offer you. Past participants range from first-time clients, to healers, intuitives, and initiated priests and chiefs in need of spiritual support and restoration.

May 6 - 10, 2027 

Each year Sacred Conversations With Our Ancestors creates the space and energy to open portals to our Ancestors and guides. This experience is one of highly sacred work and spiritual rejuvenation.  

During the four days, you’ll be guided to bring intention and focus in caring for your spiritual and mental hygiene with zero outside distractions. The time in ritual and devotion is balanced with downtime for rest, reflection, and self-care.

Our sixth retreat will once again be held at Santosha Resort in Barbados. Participants should arrive no later than 5PM on May 6th and can depart at any time on May 10th.

From Our Past Participants

“This experience allowed for deep, spacious connection with myself, my ancestors, and the other participants and leaders. Since returning, I am in daily exchange with my ancestors and can feel their presence in my life. I recommend this experience to anyone looking to get closer to themselves through connecting with their ancestors. And particularly for those who feel far away from their ancestors, this is designed for you!”

“What I got I could never have imagined. I was able to find me, to quiet the negative voices in my mind, to find support from the women around me, and to find direction and purpose and go back with tools that would put me on the path to feeling complete again and back to myself. So that I can do and continue my mission. I was surprised for the need and the comfortability of community.”

— aaisha

“Everything from the clarity with trip preparations, ground travel, the accommodations, the nourishing meals, and the daily itinerary was organized and thoughtful. Thoughtfulness extended to considerations of what may be spiritually required to bring a collective of women together for the process of revivification … the bush bath, alone, was worth the price of the trip. … Make the investment in yourself, surrender to the experience, and follow the ancestral wisdom revealed to you through the retreat. You will not regret it..”
