First Edition: Black to Rest Yoga and Spa Retreat to the Eastman Spa in the Eastern Townships of Quebec

October 1 - October 4, 2023

The Black to Rest Yoga and Spa retreat is a moment for the members of the Black community to get together and rest.

The logic for creating a space for Black people to rest is the fact that most wellness spaces do not center the experience of Black people, so creating such a safe space was needed. Last year, we practiced yoga, journaled, went to the spa, hiked, shared delicious tonic food and rested. We bonded over our diverse experiences of rest and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the Eastern Townships.
