Ten Years of Sweetness.
A Decade of Holding Space for Black Women.
Holistree is a luxury wellness lifestyle brand for Black women who are ready to move with rhythm, not urgency. Rest deeply. Gather intentionally. Return to yourself.
Ten years of sacred space. And we are just beginning.
We believe wellness is not an indulgence - it is a practice.
Luxury is not excess - it is discernment.
And legacy is not what you leave behind - it is how you live now.
For ten years, Holistree has held that truth. For Black women. Without apology.
From our signature Sweet Life retreats and intimate dinner gatherings to immersive memberships and thoughtfully curated offerings, everything at Holistree is designed to support a life that feels spacious, nourishing, and deeply aligned.
This is wellness that meets you where you are - and walks with you forward.
A Taste of the Sweet Life
Every Sweet Life moment is curated with intention: luxury, healing, and transformation woven together. This testimony reflects the heart of what we do - holding space where Black Women rest deeply, connect fully, and return home renewed.
You have built something real.
A career. A family. A reputation. A life that looks, from the outside, like everything is fine.
But somewhere between the calendar and the obligations and the people who need you, you lost the rhythm of your own life. Not because you failed. Because you never stopped long enough to ask what you needed.
You’ve tried things. Therapy helped you process but it didn't let you feel her way back. The girls trip was fun but nobody planned it with your restoration in mind. And most of the time, you just kept pushing, because stopping felt more dangerous than exhausting.
The wellness world offered you products. Spaces that asked you to translate yourself just to belong. Retreats full of women who didn't quite get it. Self-care that looked good on a vision board but never touched the real thing.
What you needed was a space that already knew you
A room that is built for you that doesn’t require you to explain why rest feels hard, why luxury isn't frivolous, or why you deserves to be held too.
You needed to remember who you are outside of your roles.
That is what Holistree does.
The Sweet Life isn’t just what we create - it’s what our community experiences. Here’s how one retreater described her journey with Holistree.
Holistree is for Black women who:
Has accomplished much and is ready to feel more
Is quietly exhausted from being the strong one for everyone else
Craves rest that actually restores - not just distracts
Desires beauty, depth, and community without performance
Knows her next season requires intention, not urgency
You have done the work. You are ready to be held.
Ten Years.
Still here. Still holding space. Still pouring sweetness.
In 2026, Holistree celebrates a decade of luxury wellness experiences, sacred sisterhood, and the radical belief that Black women deserve rest, beauty, and spaciousness - not as a reward, but as a way of living.
5,000+ Black women held.
Countries across four continents.
One unwavering mission: Black women, held. Come home to the Sweet Life.
This is the decade we celebrate. And the decade we begin.
Your year-round home.
You’ve been holding everybody else. The Sweet Life Society is where Black women get held, too: every month, between retreats and long after them.
Inside, you’ll find the Monthly Reset, Chat & Chew, The Pour, and a sisterhood that understands the weight you carry and celebrates the woman underneath it. And starting January 1, 2027, the Society is the way into every Holistree retreat, because the best retreats begin with women who already know each other.
Three ways in:
The Sweet Spot: community, monthly gatherings and retreat access. $20/month
Everyday Sweetness: everything above, plus a monthly 1:1 Wellness Check-In and a small Sweet Circle. $57/month
The Business of Sweet: everything above, plus quarterly planning and Fireside Chats for women building something. $97/month
Every level builds Sweet Reserve, a credit toward your next retreat.
The Sweet Life™ Experience!
For over a decade, Holistree has curated spaces where rest is honored, joy is cultivated, and Black Women are supported in choosing themselves without apology.
This is not self-care as escape.
This is a return to rhythm.

Meet Rakita
(Founder of Holistree Curator of the Sweet Life)
“I grew up watching the women in my family dress up for nobody, sit on the porch, and tell each other the truth over good food and a little bourbon. That porch was where they got held. In 2016, I started Holistree to build that porch for Black women everywhere. Ten years later, I'm still building it.”
