Welcome to Your Sanctuary for Renewal

​A Place to Pause, Breathe, and Begin Again

Life can be demanding—and in the midst of caring for everything and everyone else, your own wellbeing can fall to the side. At Ujima Retreat Center, we offer space to reconnect with yourself through nature, rest, and intentional experiences that support healing from the inside out.

 

Whether you seek solitude, reconnection, or meaningful time with others, our retreats are designed to help you restore what’s been depleted—and return to life with clarity, strength, and purpose.

Our Foundations

 

NATURE

Being outside shifts something. Our walking trail offers a chance to reconnect with your body and breath while engaging with the landscape around you. It’s not about silence—it’s about presence. Whether you’re walking with a friend or moving alone, nature invites you to slow down and pay attention.

 

SPA

There’s power in simple care. The warmth of the sauna, the ease of the hot tub, and the rhythm of water help the body release tension and the mind find stillness. These aren’t luxuries—they’re tools for healing, balance, and resilience.

 

ADVENTURE

Adventure isn’t always wild. Sometimes it’s trying something unfamiliar, laughing freely, or stepping outside of your usual rhythm. Whether it’s a playful group activity or a quiet moment of discovery, these experiences help you reconnect with joy and creativity.

Come Experience the Power of Restorative Living

 

From solo retreats to shared experiences with loved ones or colleagues, Ujima Retreat Center is a space to reclaim your wellbeing and write the next chapter of your story—with intention.

 

You’re not escaping life. You’re returning to it—renewed.
