About Us

How We Move

We create soul nourishing experiences that restore and refresh leaders. We cultivate a community of women who journey with each other in faith, life and leadership. We invest in black women as they invest in others through:

  • Soul Care Groups - A monthly intimate gathering of women that journey together in life and leadership. Learn More.

  • Retreats - Two annual retreats for women that desire to pause, lean into ease, attunement and restorative rest all in community with other women who get it.

  • Community Building Events - Informal gatherings for women to build community and network among like-minded women.

  • Workshops - We share the values of wellness, leadership through our signature workshop topics.

  • Celebrate Leaders - We celebrate the stories of leaders and foster an environment for genuine connections.

Meet Charlotte

Following a difficult period of health issues, my curiosity was piqued about lifestyle changes that could foster wellbeing. As a former athlete, the importance of physical fitness was not lost on me. I valued therapy and my faith was a significant part of my life, but I was unsure of how these factors intertwined to create an intentional life. With this in mind, I created Cultivate Vibrance for black women who, like me, desired more care for themselves. This platform is for women who dedicate their time and energy to those around them, yet are in need of nurturing themselves. Cultivate Vibrance offers a warm, and intentional space that is easy to engage with and encourages a pause in our fast-paced lives, helping us to lead intentional and fulfilling lives.

In Their Words:

    I experienced joy, rest, community! It was a life-giving experience to share space with other likeminded women who are seeking to fulfill their professional dreams as well as navigating space as black women in leadership.

    I appreciate the time we have to be silent and reflect on that month's topic, and do light movement. As someone who is on the go a lot, it is a gift to slow down and be present with myself (body, soul, and mind)

    ”

    “

    It was inspiring being in a space with other women who were living their truth and pursuing their goals whatever they might be. This experience motivates me to persevere on my own journey in life as authentically and as joyfully as possible.
