I’m excited to share some big updates regarding Ayoku Healing Retreat Center with you! This month marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in our efforts to bring our vision for Ayoku to life, creating a sanctuary where leaders can renew, reflect, and grow.
Ayoku has always been envisioned as more than just a retreat center. It’s a space for healing and self-discovery — where leaders can reconnect with their purpose and strengthen their resilience. I would like to share some updates that will lay the foundation for a space that embodies care, restoration, and inspiration.
This month, we will begin essential renovations, which include:
- Adding bathrooms and cosmetic interior upgrades to the Conference Center
- Retrofitting two buildings to become our Healing House and Artisan Studio
- Expansion of outdoor flexible space
- Restoration of the pond
- Renovation of staff office and rest spaces
- Installation of new landscaping, lighting, and signage
Over the next three years, the development of Ayoku will take place in multiple phases, with each year bringing new elements to enhance the retreat experience. Additional buildings for nourishment, movement, and holistic healing will be constructed and thoughtfully designed overnight accommodations will be added. We will continue to make infrastructure improvements to ensure a seamless and sustainable experience, while new recreational and communal spaces foster connection and reflection.
The construction journey is just beginning, and I’m very excited about the future. I know that Ayoku will have a profoundly positive impact on everyone we are honored to serve.
Thank you for your continued support as we take this important next step. Together, we are creating a sanctuary that will inspire and empower for generations to come.
