Abstract: This study investigates the role of the Melanin Scholars Retreat, a writing and wellness retreat that centers the voices of Black women faculty and doctoral students in counselor education, in supporting their professional and personal well-being. Using a heuristic case study design, the authors illuminate the experiences of participants of two iterations of the Melanin Scholars Retreat. Grounded in a womanism framework, this manuscript highlights the experiences of Black women in academia. The researchers found that the retreat enhances academic productivity, fosters community, and promotes holistic wellness.
