Joyful gatherings for Us. hava creates retreats and practices centered on the lives of Black women, beginning with the belief that we are already born into the deep and deserve to be held.

The autumn retreat is three days along the river in Wimberley, Texas, in the Hill Country. Breath, food, rest, movement, and sister circle, with all meals provided.

Booking and live checkout are on the autumn retreat page.

A private chef table set on the open screened-in porch, with the river and the Hill Country just beyond. Built for abundance: savory breakfast meats, seasonal vegetables, warm biscuits, fruit, something sweet, and plenty of vegetarian options. Served slow, with room to talk, breathe, and return to yourself.

Many wellness practices ask women to go deep. hava begins somewhere else: with the belief that Black women are already born into the deep.

The work is to be held by ourselves and each other long enough to make room for our light, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Not a performance of rest, but the real thing.

hava was founded by Sahavit Chance. She is a nurse and a former Army leader and veteran, a birth doula and midwifery student, and a certified Master Resilience Trainer.

That background shapes how hava holds people: with clinical care, steadiness under pressure, and a deep respect for the body. She builds gatherings she would want to be inside of.
