Five days will not fix a lifetime, but it can shift how you move through it. Most women leave with.

• a body that feels softer and less tense
• deeper, more continuous sleep for the first time in a long time
• a calmer relationship with cannabis. less guesswork, more intention
• at least one clear decision or boundary for their life back home

You are not asked to “reinvent yourself”. The aim is simpler. that you go home with a nervous system that has finally exhaled, a few practices you can keep, and a different standard for how you deserve to feel in your own body.

Safety comes first. Before confirming your place, you complete a short confidential health questionnaire so we can see whether the program fits you. On arrival in Dominica, you have a brief check in with a doctor or pharmacist who reviews your situation and medications. During the retreat, a registered nurse is available on site or on call 24/7, with a doctor on standby if something needs medical attention. You can also meet a natural healer for plant based support when it makes sense, always as a complement to, not a replacement for, your regular care.

Cannabis is never imposed. Use is optional, in low and carefully framed doses, with clear guidance about timing, form and how to listen to your own body. We avoid experiments, we do not chase extremes, and you can pause or skip any cannabis moment and still enjoy the rest of the retreat.

The current rate for the 5 days / 4 nights Soft Life Signature Retreat is USD 5,122 per Black woman participant, based on a shared cottage.

This rate includes.

• 4 nights in comfortable beachfront or nature-linked cottage accommodation (shared as standard)
• Daily breakfast, plus selected hosted lunches and dinners
• Private round trip airport transfers to and from Douglas Charles Airport (DOM)
• At least one warm springs experience with transport and host
• One to two targeted body treatments (massage or similar, depending on dates)
• Cannabis wellness teaching and optional guided rituals for stress and sleep
• Sister circles for Black women, held by an experienced facilitator
• Gentle movement or breath based practices adapted to the group
• On site / on call support from our host team, plus access to doctor, nurse, pharmacist and natural healer as described

Flights, travel insurance, alcohol, extra spa treatments, shopping, and the single occupancy upgrade for a private cottage are not included.

If you are a group of six or more women travelling together, contact us before booking. we can look at a tailored group rate or added benefits for your circle, depending on dates and availability.

Soft Life Signature is for Black women who carry a lot. work, family, community, and often use cannabis to cope or are curious about it, but want a calmer, more conscious way to relate to the plant and to themselves. Many guests are between 30 and 60, but age is less important than the reality. you feel tired, stretched thin, and ready to choose rest on purpose.

It is not for anyone seeking a party trip, constant stimulation, or heavy intoxication. It is not a fit if you are in acute psychiatric crisis, actively unsafe with yourself or others, or looking for a place to ignore medical advice. In those cases, stabilising with professional support first is more important than flying to a retreat.

Most women arrive alone. The space is built for that. The group is small, and the first hours are designed to help you arrive in your body and meet others without forced games or over-sharing. Shared cottages pair you with another guest, unless you choose a private cottage upgrade, and there is no “in crowd”.

If you are shy or more reserved, you can take your time. You are never pushed to tell your whole story or to join every activity. Listening quietly in circles is welcome. Soft Life does not ask you to perform. it asks you to be present.

We operate within the legal framework of Dominica and never sell, supply or transport cannabis. All moments that involve the plant happen in private settings, under clear house rules, and are framed as wellness education and ritual rather than “party time”.

Your payment goes to our legal entity, not à un intitulé agressif sur votre relevé. There are no big neon signs or loud public branding on site. The focus is on rest, health and a more thoughtful relationship with the plant. If you need to talk through any specific concern about your job or public role, you can contact us privately before booking.

The point of Soft Life is not to add stress. Once you decide to come, your main tasks are simple.

• book your flight to Douglas Charles Airport (DOM). from New York, you can often fly non stop from Newark (EWR) to Dominica on selected days, which makes the journey much easier than it looks on a map
• complete your health and intake forms
• arrive with an open, honest sense of what you need

We handle private airport transfers, local logistics, scheduling and coordination with partners on the island. For many women, the real decision is not “can I get there”, but “am I willing to choose myself for five days”. You do not have to fix your entire life in one trip. you can use this time as a clear line in the sand, a moment where you chose rest, care and clarity on purpose.
