As the sun climbs the horizon, let the spirit of Jah illuminate your heart, and feel the vibrations of unity, peace, and love reverberate through your being.
The heart of Rastafari Way Wellness Retreat lies in the mindful preparation and consumption of Ital food - a vital aspect of the Rastafari tradition.

Let the legendary sounds of this indigenous Rastafari music heal, energize, and inspire you. Our musical sessions are a celebration of life, love, and unity, reinforcing the bond that holds us together as one global family.
Our retreat also offers a unique opportunity to engage with indigenous Rastafari practices.

Retreat Theme
The theme for this retreat is The Exodus: Liberation from Babylon
Embrace the call of the Exodus, a retreat deeply rooted in the principles of Rastafari traditions and Vedic wisdom, designed to lead you and your loved ones on a transformative journey of mental, spiritual, and physical liberation. As we break away from the confining chains of Babylon's systems of oppression, immerse your family in an environment that prioritizes unity, peace, and an unwavering connection to the Earth.
In this sacred space, we will have the chance to delve deep into the essence of Rastafari living, discovering its parallels with the ancient teachings of the Vedas. As the two traditions beautifully converge, participants will be guided through a series of mindful exercises, rejuvenating yoga sessions, and profound spiritual reflections, all set against the backdrop of Jamaica's enchanting landscapes.
Rediscover the fundamental importance of the nuclear family unit and harness the collective power of togetherness. Every aspect of the retreat, from communal meals infused with the flavors of the Caribbean to evening storytelling sessions around a crackling fire, is designed to fortify family bonds and create memories that will be cherished for generations.
By heeding the call of the Exodus, families will not only reconnect with the Earth and its rhythms but also with each other, fostering a sense of belonging, understanding, and shared purpose. As you emerge from this experience, you'll be equipped with tools and insights to maintain a harmonious existence, free from the confines of societal expectations and ever closer to the true essence of life.
Step forth and liberate your family spirit. Embrace the Exodus!
