Journal + Travel = 2x the self-care
What to Expect
Each Black Girl’s Journal retreat is intentionally curated and hosted by our founder, Kamaria Fayola — writer, attorney, and lifelong journaler devoted to creating sacred spaces where Black women can exhale. This is more than a trip. It’s an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and cultivate the kind of inner peace that follows you home.
On retreat, you won’t just visit a beautiful destination — you’ll experience it. Your days are thoughtfully balanced between soul-nourishing collective journaling sessions, restorative self-care rituals, meaningful sisterhood, and curated local adventures. There is space to explore. Space to laugh. Space to reflect. And most importantly, space to rest.
You’ll be guided through powerful journaling experiences designed to help you quiet the noise, process what’s heavy, and create clarity about what’s next.
This is for the woman who is ready to protect her peace. Who is ready to cultivate it. Who is ready to prioritize herself without apology.
If your spirit has been craving softness, connection, and calm — this is your sign.
Join the waitlist to be the first to know when doors open for our next retreat. Your peace is waiting.

Travel Logistics
Exploring the new places while gaining deeper understanding of ourselves is an entire vibe. To maintain the positive energy throughout the trip, we will always utilize trusted third-party partners to help coordinate the logistics of our travel. Depending on the retreat, travel may be either within the United States or international. For US-based retreats, expect 3-4 days, and when traveling abroad, you can anticipate about a 7-8 day trip. For international retreats, Trova Trip is The Black Girl’s Journal’s preferred provider. Kamaria has found them to be very reliable, safe, and communicative. Their platform handles everything from ground transportation (optional), hotel accommodations (which include both single and double occupancy options), local guides, group transportation, and translation when needed. Attendees are responsible for booking their own flights. Trova Trip has payment plans available via Affirm, and they expertly handle the logistics to help us sink deeper into vacation mode. If traveling stress-free sounds like your vibe, join us for our next retreat!
