Experiences
Intensives:
The A.W.A.K.E.N. weekend is a powerful, 4-day in-person experience designed for Black women who feel stuck in a cycle and sense there’s something “missing” that could help them truly move forward. This intensive journey is about either jump-starting your healing or expanding your capacity for growth, so you can enter the next phase with greater resilience and clarity.
Using my A.W.A.K.E.N. method, we’ll spend our time together connecting with and understanding your pain, identifying the tools that best support you, and making commitments that will anchor your path forward. Each day is enriched with daily movement, sound healing, individual and group sessions, and sacred spiritual experiences, creating a supportive space to nurture every part of you. This intensive is more than a retreat; it’s a grounding experience that connects you to your true self and opens up new possibilities for lasting change.
Immersions:
Since 2022, our annual immersive experiences have offered 5+ days in beautiful locations outside the US, bringing together no more than 12 people of African Descent. These gatherings are crafted to encourage deep self-exploration, using the lenses of fulfillment, restoration, and shared strength. While others refer to similar experiences as retreats, we choose the term immersion as it describes the deep work that occurs leading to transformation and healing. Each experience centers around connection and self-discovery, providing space to release, renew, and embrace what nourishes your spirit. Together, we create a supportive environment where joy and wholeness become a lived experience, fostering bonds that uplift each woman as she steps into her fullest self.
Immersions are only open to Reflecting Joy members and clients that work with Melissa individually.
