JOIN US AT “NIA: A RETREAT FOR BLACK WOMEN WRITERS” HOSTED BY 31 EXODUS ARTS COLLECTIVE. JUNE 26 - JUNE 28, 2026

IMAGINE A SPACE DESIGNED FOR YOU… FOR BLACK WOMEN, BY BLACK WOMEN, WITH BLACK ART ADORNING THE WALLS…

This summer, step away from the noise and into a space created just for you.

Join us in Los Angeles for an intimate, three-day writing retreat designed for Black women Christian writers who are ready to rest, create, and reconnect—with God, with their voice, and with one another.

Hosted in a beautiful two-story home, this experience blends intentional writing time with deep community, spiritual renewal, and plenty of downtime.

Over the course of three days, you will:

  • Write freely and without pressure

  • Rest your mind, body, and spirit

  • Build meaningful relationships with other Black women writers

  • Be poured into creatively and spiritually

  • Enjoy moments of laughter, beauty, and ease

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Dedicated, uninterrupted writing sessions

  • Spirit-led reflection and encouragement

  • Beach time to breathe, reset, and be filled up

  • A shared outing to Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles

  • Nourishing, home-cooked meals prepared by a private chef

  • A peaceful, beautifully designed space to rest and create

Come ready to write.
Come ready to rest.
Come ready to be held in community.

God has a plan for your writing. Let’s make space for it.
