The Sweet Life™ - Where Black Women reclaim rest, luxury, and legacy
Welcome to The Sweet Life™, the signature retreat experience from Holistree - a sanctuary where Black Women come to restore their spirit, reconnect with their power, and savor the sweetness they deserve.
Here, we center your wellness, your joy, and your dreams through intentional, luxurious experiences that nourish both body and soul.

Each experience is thoughtfully designed to honor your unique path while reminding you that rest is your birthright, and luxury is your standard.
Come experience what it means to not just live life - but to savor it fully, with intention and abundance.
Our Sweet Life™ Mantra…
We call for all of the sweetness
We call for Deep and Healing Breaths
We call for joy and happiness
We call for the life that we seek
I am the one two three and the four
I deserve all the good I want and I still recieve more
Abundance comes to me as freely as the air I breathe
I’ filled with love joy grace and peace
My cup runs over i proclaim a life that is sweet
I make room for increase
Bounty pours out of me
“You may start the retreat as strangers but you’ll definitely leave as sisters!”
Love Notes
-

“Morocco helped me accept my grieving/healing process ; losing my sister a little over a month before taking this retreat.… HolisTree retreats brought me unity, unconditional love, acceptance & unforgettable moments with new people. - Chandaria R.
-

I had the opportunity to travel to Marrakech Morocco to photograph an amazing group in an amazing place. It was luxurious and healing for a group of 20 beautiful, successful and down to earth women.
Each time I take away something, although I am really there to capture. This time it was about intention.... Being truly intentional about your love, day, interactions, desires, work and visions can have powerful outcomes.

“The Black Magic Woman in Nola was my first retreat with HolisTree.
The sisterhood and experience super exceeded anything I could have imagined. I left feeling full, invigorated and empowered. Both my appetite and spirit was richly fed. I am already looking forward to our next adventure!!.”
- Keesa L. -

“Having the opportunity to step away from my normal routine and retreat was truly a blessing! Organically connecting with such powerful, passionate and brilliant women was a life changing experience! Our retreat space was beautiful and magical! The breathtaking views, amazing food, powerful dialog and workshops gave me the fuel to reimagine my self professionally and personally. I walked away grounded, focused and better prepared to launch into the next phase of my leadership journey with the support of this sacred sisterhood! Rakita is such a dynamic facilitator and coach! Her gentle reminders to rest, take space and breathe are always right on time! Thank you for sharing your gifts and magic!”

“This Retreat was just what I needed to get some Serious goals in my Business not only started but set some additional goals. The balance of Business Building Coupled with Wellness,Relaxation & Rest really assisted in guiding me to be more productive.
It was like a few good Girlfriends who are bosses came together open and ready to be filled. The Scenery and home with some beautiful Sunrays also helped.
My absolute favorite part of the weekend had to be when we were able to share what we had been working on our "Shelter Time" (we went to any area outside, in the house, by the Jacuzzi and worked on our major goals). It was laser Coaching on 100.
We had spoke our plans and each one of our sisters lended there assistants on what we could do to improve our plans and to get started right away.
We walked away with Actionable steps and Gatekeepers to hold us Accountable to our goals. Oh and did I mention the Sun, Rest, and some Goood Food?? Lol yes All of this in 2 days.
Thank you Holistree For This Amazing Experience
- Dionna M. -

The HolisTree retreat was an awesome experience for me personally. The space was absolutely amazing, and the home cooked meals prepared each day were delicious!
Even with the scheduled activities/exercises plenty of time was allowed for me to "just be". Truly a time to reflect on yourself and experience peace outside of the everyday rat race with guidance from HolisTree.
It was a pleasure to meet the other ladies on the trip and be able to listen to the waves and ocean everyday. I truly appreciated the follow up from HolisTree after the retreat as well.”
