Girlfriendism Retreat Day North Carolina: Agenda
Saturday, June 14th | Cary, North Carolina
For the woman who needs time, craves connection, and deserves restoration.
8:30 AM – 9:00 AM: Check-In & Welcome Ritual
Ease in and exhale as we greet you with warmth, love, and a light continental breakfast to start your day. This is your moment to slow down and set your intention for the sacred experience ahead.
9:00 AM – 10:00 AM: Welcome to Girlfriendism!
Meet your host, Dr. Khnuma Simmonds — the Global Girlfriend — and step fully into the Girlfriendism movement: a sanctuary for joy, sisterhood, and self-love.
​
Together, we’ll discover who’s in the room, meet our new girlfriends, and plant the seeds for a deep connection that lasts far beyond today.
10:00 AM – 11:00 AM: Mental Health & Wellness:
Navigating the Political Landscape with the Support of Girlfriends Old & New
Let’s get real about what it means to be a woman navigating today’s world — and how friendship is more than comfort... It's a lifeline.
Learn how intentional sisterhood is vital to mental health during times of social and political unrest, and why your well-being must come first.
11:00 AM – 12:30 PM: Movement & Mindfulness: Sensual Afro-Caribbean Dance + Guided Grounding Practice
Move your body. Reclaim your rhythm. Release what no longer serves you.
​
Through sensual Afro-Caribbean movement and mindful grounding, you’ll return to your body as a source of power, pleasure, and peace.
12:30 PM – 1:30 PM: Lunch & Learn: Let’s Chat Purpose & Joy – Entrepreneur Roundtable
Gather around the table with purpose-driven women to share stories, dreams, and wisdom.
​
During this engaging roundtable, you’ll also have the chance to share your business, brand, or creative work — so your new girlfriends can follow, support, and uplift you long after the retreat ends.
1:30 PM – 2:45 PM: Skincare & Sensuality with BalmBrand
It’s time to tap into the art of sacred self-touch and radical self-care.
​
