A message from the founder
I AFFIRM: Sweetness pours over me…
I really do believe that! I started Holistree in 2014 and at the time I had no idea that it would become as sweet as it has. My intention was always to cultivate the community I was looking for, the community I needed.
Over the last 10 years I have served over 5k Black Women and Women of Color, offering each a moment to open up - let go - get free and my favorite…receive all the juicy sweetness that we so deserve!
Crowned the "Queen of Retreats" in 2017, Rakita relentlessly strives to create intentional spaces of empowerment for Black Women—spaces that seamlessly intertwine healing, profound connections, and opulent luxury.
Holistree was founded by Rakita Lillard-Brown, a heart-centered Facilitator, traditional Healer, Reiki Master, Personal + Spiritual Development coach, Wellness guide and experienced Retreat Leader. She has over ten years of experience hosting retreats and holding space for Black Women, Women of Color and Movement organizations. It's her commitment to creating safe healing spaces for not just herself but those she services paired with her passion for holistic wellness that makes her so effective in her work.

“Black Women deserve, period. I will continue to affirm that with spaces that pour all the sweetness into their lives! ”
