Ujima Retreat Center

NATURE. SPA. ADVENTURE.

 

Unwind at Ujima, a place where caring for yourself, friends, co-workers, or loved ones is natural.

Ujima Retreat Center

 

Welcome to Your Sanctuary for Renewal

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected? We understand what it’s like to be caught in the grind—always giving but rarely refueling. At Ujima Retreat Center, we invite you to pause, breathe, and immerse yourself in a space designed for healing, growth, and balance.

 

Rooted in the beauty of nature, our retreat experiences bring restoration to individuals, families, and groups through intentional wellness, outdoor exploration, and holistic care. Whether you seek solitude, reconnection, or adventure, we provide the space for you to reclaim your peace.

Our Guiding Principles

 

NATURE

The foundation of our being. Our bodies were designed to exist and thrive in harmony with the natural world. At Ujima, we embrace the restorative power of the outdoors—from community gardening to open-air meditation spaces.

 

SPA

Water is life. Whether soaking, steaming, or hydrating, water has the power to cleanse, restore, and revitalize. Our spa-inspired experiences focus on healing, immunity, and vitality through hydrotherapy, relaxation, and intentional self-care.

 

ADVENTURE

Discovery transforms us. Engaging in exciting activities fuels our well-being, helping to regulate moods, release stress, and build resilience. From guided adventures to outdoor games, adventure at Ujima is an invitation to explore, play, and grow.

Come Experience the Power of Restorative Living

 

Whether you’re planning a solo retreat, a couples’ getaway, a corporate wellness experience, or a family adventure, Ujima Retreat Center is here to redefine rest and restoration on your terms.

 

Let’s create your perfect retreat.
