HOSTS
At Ujima Retreat Center, we’re proud to be a Black-owned, family-operated business. Our team is deeply committed to creating a welcoming and healing space for everyone.
Banio "B.K." Koroma Jr. CRMS
As a host at Ujima Retreat Center, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of stepping outside of one’s comfort zone. Guiding families and small groups through physical and mental challenges in our natural environment has proven to be a profound way to release stress, reflect, meditate, and build confidence—all while engaging in safe and adventurous activities.
​
Co-founding Ujima Retreat Center is my way of offering a sanctuary where the community can unwind, detox from digital distractions, and reconnect with nature. I firmly believe that self-care is not a luxury but a necessity. When we prioritize our own well-being, everything else in our lives—be it family, career, health, finances, or relationships—finds its balance as we discover inner peace. I am dedicated to supporting you in achieving your personal goals and enhancing your life.

Shanelle Koroma LPHA, LCSW
It’s no surprise that many people feel overwhelmed by life’s countless demands. We are constantly encouraged to work harder and longer, often leading to burnout and a sense of hopelessness. As a healing professional, my focus has been on helping individuals navigate life’s challenges through rest, mindfulness, recreation, social connection, and wellness practices.
​
For me, community and nature have always been essential coping mechanisms. Co-founding Ujima Retreat Center is a reflection of that belief. My vision is to create a space where nature fosters clarity, prayer, and simply being present. At Ujima Retreat Center, there’s no need to strive—here, you can receive personalized support and guidance from people who genuinely care.
