Join us for the 3rd annual Women of Color Retreat (WOCR) taking place at Walker Creek Ranch on February 28th-March 2nd, 2025!

The Women of Color Retreat is hosted by the UC Davis Women's Resource & Research Center to foster opportunities for identity and skill development as well as community building for women and femme identified UC Davis students (must be currently registered at any level). Our theme for WOCR is Reimagining Healing, Reimagining Self: Unmasking What's Within!

The retreat will include identity based workshops, community care/healing spaces, and engaging activities. The retreat will be a unique opportunity for student-scholars to build community, explore identity, and share experiences/knowledge. We hope that you will join us!

Our Hopes for WOCR: Through the creation of an engaging retreat space, the WOCR, aspires to empower those with marginalized gender identities, with a specific focus on those who hold women identities, to connect and be in community with one another while being compassionately challenged to explore identity at the intersections of race and gender, feelings associated with that exploration, and become more vulnerable with others. The WOCR is an opportunity for women of color to explore the beautiful complexities and the brilliant joy of being exactly who we are.
