About this trip

Healing generational curses means choosing to live life by exploring possibilities you never thought were possible. We are the generation of mothers who are making the decision to give our daughters lives full of wonder, self-awareness, deeper connection, bonding, and open communication.

An Unforgettable Experience

Set an intention for an unforgettable retreat for our Mommy and Me retreat. Join us for 5 days and 4 nights in the heart of the world! We will be located on the shores of the Caribbean Sea in Colombia, South America. The resort lies at the foothills of the impressive and magical Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the world’s highest Coastal Mountain Range. This area is referred to as the Heart of the world, not only because of its geographical location, but more importantly because every single ecosystem exists and thrives in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Bond With Your Daughters

It is here in the shadow of the Sierra Nevada, nestled under the shade of majestic coconut palms is a place where you can disconnect from the hectic world and appreciate the simpler things in life. Find harmony with Mother Earth as she offers up the sun, empty virgin beaches, fresh salt air and unforgettable panoramic seascapes. Our private boutique beach resort is a relaxing world where time moves slowly and you can reflect and appreciate all that life and nature have to give. Escape for a while to life by the sea. Feel the raw energy of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Discover peace on empty, white sand beaches. Rise with the sun over the Caribbean and fall asleep counting falling stars in the Milky Way.

Mommy & Me Massages

Enjoy a world class spa under the shade of the tropical forest - creating the right environment for relaxation and disconnection from the outside world. The spa offers several types of massage ranging from Mommy and Me massages, Thai body, relaxing, deep tissue, and reiki energy healing.

Private Housing

Eco-Chic Bungalows are the ideal place to relax. Each private bungalow is designed with a very distinct architectural feature that the indigenous from the area have been utilizing for hundreds of years…. the palm roof. Not only are these structures made from sustainably and locally harvested palm fronds, the vaulted ceiling design keeps the rooms cooler and more fresh than any other available, man-made material.

Experience lux glampers nestled on the property to enjoy the sounds of nature and the ocean to lull you to sleep. Each room has its own outdoor shower to enjoy the stars and moonlight underwater.

Enjoy a comfortable Queen bed, Twin bed, and private bath for you and your daughter. Bungalows can accommodate one mom and up to two daughters. Glampers include one double bed and two twin beds. Our luxury treehouse includes two twin beds.

Our girls can also enjoy a separate private treehouse playground for play!

Delicious Meals

The kitchen works with the local fishermen of the area to bring whatever is fresh straight to your plate. This sea to table approach combines healthy ingredients together in a coastal themed, fusion-style menu with Colombian, Latin and Asian flavors. Our ever-evolving selection is a unique combination of the traditional dishes and flavors from Colombia along with other recipes from around the world.

We can accommodate your diet - Vegan, Vegetarian, and/or Pescatarian.

The location was absolutely breathtaking and the food was amazing. There was also the perfect balance of rest and relaxation and informative workshops.

I'm extremely grateful for the time I had at this retreat. It was such a warm and inviting energy to be part of. It gave me a chance to reflect but also be proud of me. I laughed and cried but left with a sense of peace and determination to protect that peace. I look forward to traveling again with The Self Care Retreat.

Highly recommend! To the founder, Shanicia, Thank you so much for being an anchor for so many people. I'm reflecting on the creations and the spaces you've founded and facilitated. The impact of these spaces and your carefully handpicked details (including facilitators, shelter, transport, etc.) I hope that you are consistently filled to the brim when you pause and reflect on your contributions to society. I wish for that to resonate deeply within your spirit and fill you immensely. Thank you for allowing yourself to be a blessing to my (and so many others') lives- your courage to work on God's gifts to you is such an inspiration. What you're contributing to people's lives isn't merely a physical retreat - it's generational healing work that spreads beyond our individual selves and into the relationships with ourselves and others. I have been very intentional with how and where I spend my energy for the past several years - paying close attention to my intuition and where there is a deep meaningful feeling - is where I lean towards. This experience has aligned with that purpose-driven intuition, so I'm open and exploring how I can continue to contribute in this realm of healing. Sending my gratitude your way and wishing you the very best in all of your future endeavors.

Amazing! Wonderful! Insightful! Educational! Spiritual! These are only just a few words out of the many that I could use to describe about the journey we took to Africa! I could tell that there was a lot of thought, care, and intentional planning that went into this retreat. From the amazing accommodations to the partnerships made everything was seamless. I appreciate the sisterhood and bonds that were made throughout this the trip and beyond. Big ups to Shanicia! Thank you for everything! I look forward to traveling with The Self Care Retreat again in her near future!
