What does building together look like? And what would it take to create thriving economic ecosystems within our communities that are rooted in partnership?
As an organization, we’ve been evolving publicly and laying the foundation to reimagine community building through a wellness-centered lens. We want to create more opportunities for collaborative partnerships that support long-term sustainability, mutual support, and collective advancement. But what does that look like in real life?
What does collaborative economics mean in practice?
Is true collaboration possible in a way that creates meaningful economic impact while also honoring the goals and ambitions of the individual?
What can we learn from others who have already embraced cooperative practices to build healthy, productive, and sustainable ecosystems in their communities?
We are moving thoughtfully into the next phase of our journey, and we invite you to bring your thoughts, perspectives, and lived experiences into the conversation.
Join us to reimagine and redefine possibilities for our communities.
What is Suga Sharing?
Suga Sharing discussions are about reclaiming the tradition of freely sharing knowledge amongst the collective, especially the kind that’s been locked behind paywalls, gatekept, or turned into a commodity.
These conversations are about collective nourishment.
There is no cost to attend.
No fluff.
No gatekeeping.
Just real people sharing real Suga.

Fort Washington, Maryland
This retreat is an opportunity to step away from constant responsibility and return to yourself. Together, we will share in guided reflection, gentle movement, meaningful conversation, herbal wisdom, and practices that nourish the body, steady the nervous system, and honor the spirit. There will be space to think clearly, breathe deeply, and remember why you began this work in the first place.
Your registration reserves your place in a sacred and intentional gathering created for Black leaders who are ready to rest, reconnect, and be restored.

Nourishment: Continental breakfast, buffet lunch, coffee, tea, and snacks to keep you nourished throughout the day.

Access to the grounds: Guests are invited to explore the space at their own pace, embracing the natural environment as part of the healing process.
Rest: Each retreat allows you to create a rhythm and flow that intentionally unwinds your nervous system
