For more than a year, DAC has been preparing for your arrival. We’ve studied the data, we’ve talked to your peers, and we have heard overwhelmingly that you need space for a reprieve. This is why we have created this intimate retreat experience.


You care for those in your organization, community, and family. We want to extend that care to you. Come be our guest.

Why Women Are Coming...

Balancing self care is a huge problem for me!

“I've been taught and trained to take care of my teams. I need to pour into me more!”

The Pressure to Always be ‘On’

“Finding the time for self-care and not feeling guilty or that you have to always ‘be-on’ and ‘available’ to be seen as an effective leader.”

Burnout is real

“Prioritizing time to take care of my mental health and well being. Personal time is often the first thing sacrificed when there is a need from my organization, family, or friends.”

You can’t afford not to come

Leadership is more than the day-to-day grind. It requires innovation, creation, patience, juggling, insight, and timing. Let’s face it, it’s exhausting. Adding to that the complexities of being a woman in power in the nonprofit space, and the burnout is real.


Amani means peace in Swahili. This retreat is designed to bring you peace and help restore your balance.


the Amani retreat whisks you away for five days and four nights to carefully selected locations; the retreat is designed to be a departure from traditional leadership conferences by focusing on intentional space for rest and a curated schedule just for your needs.
