Our virtual gatherings are engaging, community-centered sessions that keep you connected to yourself while also cultivating connection with other like-minded women of color. Each month, we come together for guided conversations and practices that invite you to pause, reflect, and integrate our core frameworks, wherever you are.

Offered monthly, these sessions turn episodic self-care into intentional self-compassion and consistent self-devotion through guided mindfulness, reflective practice, and meaningful dialogue.

For those who have experienced the depth of our retreats, these gatherings provide ongoing connection and support, no matter where you are in the world. For newcomers, they offer a chance to meet Esther, explore our core frameworks, and see if this community feels like home.
