The event is sponsored by the Chicago-based I Am That Woman Movement, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit, led by Founder and President Twyler Jenkins.

As a part of a dynamic slate of activities, the women’s wellness retreat will feature renowned attorney Adriane J.

A native of Boston, MA, Dudley has been in active practice in the Virgin Islands since 1977. She also has served in the Office of the Attorney General and as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Virgin Islands. At the luncheon, Senator Donna A.

Themed “Discover Your Next in Paradise,” IATW Retreat speakers will focus on the six pillars of wellness – Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, Physical, Nutritional, and Financial well-being. The goal of the sessions is to provide tools that participants can utilize to address and rid themselves of anxiety, pressure and stress, as well as mental and emotional exhaustion from their personal and professional lives. 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.

Targeting primarily Black women ages 40 and up, the retreat fosters personal and professional development via the powerful life-transforming sessions. Opportunities for networking with influencers, entrepreneurs and established businesswomen from around the country are available throughout the event’s five days. The I Am That Woman Retreat was designed 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.
