What is Restival: The Retreat?
Restival™ is an immersive retreat experience created by From Karly With Love. It is designed to encourage deep rest, reflection, and community connection through intentional programming, storytelling, and wellness practices. Restival™ honors rest as both restoration and resistance.
What services do you offer?
I offer community circle facilitation, wellness-centered gatherings, workshops, mentorship, event collaborations, and retreat experiences, including Restival™. Services are available for individuals, organizations, and community groups.
Who are your offerings for?
My work primarily centers Black women and femmes, while also being open to individuals and organizations aligned with values of rest, healing, and community care.
What is a sister circle?
A sister circle is a guided community space rooted in oral history and storytelling. Participants are invited to share, listen, and reflect in a supportive environment designed to foster safety, connection, and collective care.
Are your offerings therapeutic or clinical?
No. My work is community-based and wellness-focused, not clinical therapy. It is trauma-informed and intentionally designed to support rest, reflection, and meaningful connection.
Do you work with organizations or businesses?
Yes. I collaborate with organizations, collectives, and businesses on workshops, events, retreats, and wellness programming aligned with community care and rest-centered practices, not singularly specific to Black women. Everyone must rest.
Are events free or paid?
Offerings vary. Some community gatherings are free or donation-based, while others—such as retreats or contracted programming—are paid experiences.
How can I participate in Restival or book a collaboration?
You can reach out directly through this listing or connect via my website or social media platforms to learn more about upcoming Restival™ retreats or to discuss collaborations.
When is the next event?
Restival™ will be taking place June 12-14th, 2026 and will be taking place in San Diego, CA.
