CREATIVE WELLNESS & WRITING RETREAT IN COASTAL KENYA is an immersive experience where rest becomes ritual, storytelling becomes ceremony, and the Kenyan coast becomes your sanctuary. Organized by Zaakirah Muhammad of Sanaa Nomads (who I interviewed on ep 395) this is a transformative small-group retreat for visionary women and creatives of the diaspora on the warm shores of Diani, rooted in art, sisterhood, and ancestral reconnection. Sanaa Nomads offers a healing, culturally grounded space to reset your nervous system, reclaim your creativity, and remember who you are. See all the details and reserve your spot here.
