“I AM THAT WOMAN RETREAT” SUPPORTS HOLISTIC WELLNESS, OCT. 2 - 6

Professional and personal development event in St. Thomas, the Virgin Islands,brings women from around the country

CHICAGO (July 17, 2024) – The 2024 I Am That Woman (IATW) Retreat – a five-day, four-night women’s wellness experience, will be held Oct. 2 – 6, in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, at the Westin Beach Resort and Spa at Frenchman’s Reef. The event is sponsored by the Chicago-based I Am That Woman Movement, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit, led by IATW Retreat Founder and CEO Twyler Jenkins. According to Jenkins, "This retreat is imperative for African-American women to learn how to live through holistic wellness practices to mitigate and alleviate stress, anxiety, pressure, and mental and emotional exhaustion from our personal and professional lives. African-American women have the highest rates of chronic illnesses that are highly stress related. That is why I created the IATW Retreat."

Themed “A Journey of Holistic Wellness in Paradise for the Mind, Body and Spirit,” the IATW Retreat, targets mainly African-American women ages 40 and up and fosters personal and professional development, via powerful life-transforming sessions led by highly-acclaimed speakers and presents opportunities for networking with influencers, entrepreneurs and established business women from around the country. The sessions will focus on the six pillars of wellness – Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, Physical, Nutritional, and Financial well-being.

Meditation, spa treatments, yoga and swimming, among other activities, are available. Additionally, attendees will be treated to a private day tour of St. John Island. The I Am That Woman Retreat was created to be an intimate, peaceful gathering of like-minded women who come together and pour into each other and learn about their holistic wellness, as they build their careers and provide insightful guidance for those transitioning into the next phase of their lives. Unapologetic and fearless, the retreat is where powerful transformations happen within.

At the heart of the I Am That Woman Retreat lies a profound appreciation for the transformative power of self-care. This exclusive gathering is meticulously crafted to resonate with women leaders who not only recognize but actively embrace the importance of nurturing their well-being. Attendees understand that self-care is not just a luxury but a fundamental necessity for sustained success and fulfillment.

The IATW Retreat will close with a celebration of lessons learned, breakthroughs, and new friendships in sisterhood at a closing dinner on Saturday night.
