Rhema Love
Dancer
Sacred Waters creates a sacred space where opening, growing and releasing are all possible and encouraged. The community that is built over the weekend is supportive and loving, and I can't express enough the gratitude I have over meeting so many gifted women of color in one place. This is one of the most powerfully moving retreats any WoC could attend and I highly recommend it!
