Sacred Waters:

Yemanja Goddess Retreat

January 29 – February 5, 2025

Allow Your Goddess

to Shine!

Dive into the vibrant heartbeat of Black Rome Salvador!

Are you ready to embark on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery and empowerment? Join us from January 29th to February 5th for an extraordinary retreat tailored specifically for women of color seeking to reconnect with their ancestral roots, while embracing the richness of Afro-Brazilian culture.

Nestled in the heart of Salvador, Brazil, our retreat offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the rhythms and traditions that have shaped generations. From the mesmerizing movements of capoeira to the infectious energy of Afro-Brazilian dance and samba, every moment is infused with the spirit of celebration and resilience.

The Yemanja Goddess Retreat, exclusively for women of color, is an opportunity to experience Yemanja and celebrate her anniversary.  On February 2nd every year Baianos go to the ocean to celebrate and honor her in ceremony and with gifts. 

This is your chance to explore the culture and history of Salvador, Brazil’s own little Africa. Over the course of 7 spectacular days, you will  connect with the Orixas and learn more about them.  You will experience the candomble religion, learn how to make traditional Brazilian drinks and food from Bahia.

Reconnect with yourself through transformative practices such as cacao and rapé ceremonies, tantric breathwork, and meditations, strengthening your vital feminine life force and female sexuality, and Rebirthing. I believe in the power of holistic healing. That’s why this retreat is designed to nourish your mind, body, and soul.  You will forge deep connections with like-minded sisters through intimate sister circles and uplifting conversations.

The exploration of Salvador, the blackest city in Brazil, will include visiting Afro- Brazilian religious centers, receiving spiritual cleanses, participating in drumming classes by the drummers of Bale Folclorico, Afro-Brazilian dance classes, cacao ritual, rapé meditation ritual, relaxing on beautiful beaches, and much more.

I want to experience Yemanja!

Are you a woman of color who needs some “me time”? Are you exhausted and stressed from taking care of everyone else or doing everything for everyone?  Are you feeling overwhelmed with little time for yourself?

Now is the time to put YOU first. During our retreat, you will heal, rest, be renewed, feel a sense of purpose, will have fun and reignite that joy in your life through dance, music, food, celebration and tantric exercises.  

Would you like to connect with nature, the elements and feel as if you belong and are connected to all?  Salvador, Brazil is a powerful place where you can connect with the healing waters and leave here feeling renewed, refreshed and empowered.  ​

Imagine yourself in little Africa, where the people look like you.  Where the culture is rich in delightful foods, music and dancing.  Indulge in the Afro-Brazilian dance.  Allow your body to come alive through the Afro-Brazilian rhythms.  Permit orgasmic sensations throughout your entire body with the rich Bahia foods.

Are you in need of some laughs? Some fun time to destress from all that hard work you put in?  On our retreat you will enjoy the beautiful sights, connect with amazing sisters, build stronger bonds, heal, meditate and most importantly have fun as well!

Tantra is the art and science of pure bliss and ecstasy in all we do!  We only have one life in this body, so let’s enjoy it to the utmost!

The Power Of Water

  • ― Margaret Atwood

    “Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”

  • ― Beyonce Knowles

    “The ocean makes me feel really small and it makes me put my whole life into perspective… it humbles you and makes you feel almost like you’ve been baptized. I feel born again when I get out of the ocean.”

  • - Thich Thien-An

    "So let the mind flow like water. Face life with a calm and quiet mind and everything in life will be calm and quiet"

The cuisine – Prepared

for You with Love!

Indulge your senses in a culinary adventure with mouthwatering dishes that reflect the diversity of Brazilian cuisine. As you delve into the depths of history and art and explore the vibrant streets of Salvador, where every corner tells a story of triumph and triumph you will delight in African inspired tastes such as Moqueca and Acaraje.

Indulge in rich, exotic fruits only found in Brazil.

During this retreat you will learn how to cook traditional food from Bahia as well as make fresh traditional cocktails.  You will have fun learning!

Meet Your Goddess Guide

Founder of Prandhara Prem Therapies

Thank you for visiting our website and for considering our transformative retreat as part of your spiritual experience. It is my honor to create, curate and hold sacred space for you to heal yourself, grow, reconnect to your roots and love yourself more through meditation, silence, dance and journeying. I’ve been leading Retreats since April of 2018. The purpose of our Retreats are to provide women who feel broken, incomplete and unworthy of love with a safe and sacred space where she can silence her mind and care for her inner-self without the distractions of family, work, housework, and  technology. We create the perfect environment for this work to be done.

As a powerful woman, taking time to connect with your sacred sexuality and awaken the divine feminine is a must to feel whole, complete and empowered. In my journey, I’ve found that we have to respect our bodies, listen to our needs and learn what makes us feel good and safe.  That’s exactly what our Retreats are here for. We want to provide like-minded Queens with a safe and comfortable space to  meditate, move, dance, heal, relax and breathe at her own flow and pace until she discover the space and pace that is right for her, as an individual light being.  

I am thankful for being spirit inspired and led in every aspect of my life. In addition to holding healing space for Women, I am honored to do what I Love, which is to be of service as an International Tantric Therapist, Relationship and Sexuality Coach and Interfaith Ordained Minister, Meditation Guide, Reiki Master Teacher, Shamanic Medicine Woman, Energy Worker, and Lover of Life.  It is my honor and joy to serve you.  Axé!

I have been honored to have my retreats featured on Soledad O’Brien in Black Rome Salvador as well as to have been on Married At First Sight, season 10, episode 10 as the Tantric Couples Therapist.  In addition, I have written for various magazines to include Mind Body Green, XoNecole, and Corset.

Delve deep into the heart of Black Rome Salvador, where every cobblestone street whispers tales of ancestral connection and cultural vibrancy.  View this extraordinary interview to see how you can reconnect with your roots and experience the magic of Black Rome Salvador like never before.

Prepare for Bahia, the soul of Brazil, with its strong African roots, Afro-Brazilian dance and cuisine, vibrant music, deep Spirituality and Mysticism, and so much more.

As soon as you step off the plane in Salvador, you’ll feel connected to the beautiful Black and Brown faces surrounding you, the energy of the spirits of your African ancestors, the excitement of the music, dance, and culture.  You feel that sense of belonging that we sometimes don’t experience in the U.S.  The first time I set foot in Brazil, I felt at home and you can too!

Wouldn’t it be nice to to feel connected, to feel a sense of belonging, and knowing this is where you are meant to be.  Also known as Little Africa, you’ll feel at home in a city where 80% of the population is of African descent.

Above all, this retreat is about finding your tribe – a community of strong, beautiful women who share your journey, your struggles, and your triumphs. Together, we’ll create memories that will last a lifetime and empower each other to embrace our true selves unapologetically.
