What It Is
Off Duty is an intimate, in-person wellness and reflection experience that combines guided conversation, journaling, breathwork, restorative wellness activities, and a therapist-led emotional wellness circle. The experience gives women space to release pressure, reconnect with themselves, and receive care without being expected to lead, produce, or support anyone else.
Who It’s For
for Black women—especially oldest daughters, caregivers, helping professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, and mothers—who carry significant emotional and practical responsibility. It tends to the need for rest, boundaries, cultural affirmation, and genuine connection by creating a space where women can feel seen, supported, and temporarily “off duty.”
