a living, breathing Black archival sanctuary and Homeplace

Homeplace is a space to deeply settle into the immersive sanctuary of SUSU. this 3-bedroom sanctuary and healing retreat center is designed to hold individuals and small groups within a container of restoration, ceremony, and deep remembering. inspired by the ways our grandmothers created portals of care, presence, and radical hospitality that nurture hope, heart, and spirit, Homeplace is where you come to re-member all that our ancestors have left for us.

main sanctuary:
the interior of the 3-bedroom main sanctuary is designed to echo the warmth and familiarity of our Black grandmothers’ homes.

outdoor & seasonal offerings:

Homeplace at SUSU is designed as a living, breathing home for restoration, ritual, and remembrance, a place to slow down, reconnect, and inhabit the wisdom of those who came before us.

shop botanica

a lovingly curated collection of small batch spiritual, magical and medicinal herbal products formulated with intention and crafted at the speed of trust. this seasonal rotation of signature products reflects both the rhythmic biodiversity of the lands we tend and the traditional wisdom and creativity of our Afro-Indigenous ancestors.

our products evoke the spirit and energy of Black womanist visionaries. so often in our culture Black women are forgotten and our ways of circulating energy and keeping our communities, families, and homes alive, even under conditions of capitalism, violence, and harm. our products center into the wisdom of Black womanism and are a ritual, a prayer, an invocation, that brings us into this ritual of reclaiming this medicine of healing resistance, love, freedom, breath, ease, and rest. we are crafting 3 luxury products:

• face oil 

• body oil

• superfood latte protein powder 

the circle garden 

inspired by the dagara medicine wheel, its cyclical shape reminds us of how energy circulates, how time and space move, how breath expands and contracts, and how bodies deepen their connection to land and space. in our circle garden, we cultivate a variety of medicinal herbs and flowers that infuse our Black womanist body care products, creating a direct link between the land, our bodies, and our healing practices. here, we offer immersive workshops that invite participants to connect with plant kin, with the conditions of our liberation and freedom, and with one another. the garden is both classroom and sanctuary a place where ancestral wisdom, somatic practice, and the generative energy of Black womanist care converge.

healing greenhouses

our greenhouses are designed with rhythm and ritual at their core. these are not typical greenhouses,  they are sacred spaces to sit, commune with plants, and reimagine your relationship with the natural world. within these spaces, we offer ritual and ceremony, inviting you into the immersive experience of how we work with plants, cultivate relationships, and channel healing energy into everything we create. this energy flows through our products, bringing liberatory time travel into the bodies and homes of our community. here, we host workshops and healing retreats that connect you to your body, the land, community, and radical imagination, cultivating the ability to dream, envision, and inhabit worlds beyond current circumstances, into spaces where you can find home and belonging.

SUSU commUNITY Farm is a sanctuary built for remembrance, repair, and liberation. when aligned organizations gather here, the retreat becomes an opportunity to experience a living Black archive, deepen collective care, and strengthen long term reciprocity that sustains movements.

at SUSU, we offer two types of healing retreats: paid retreats and sliding scale retreats, designed to meet the needs of organizations and communities seeking restoration, connection, and growth.

please contact us for more information and custom offerings.

(currently being planned) our Homeplace mobile van brings an immersive experience of SUSU’s field of love directly to communities, festivals, and values-aligned events. designed to connect participants with the healing power of Black womanist visionary wisdom, the van creates a portable sanctuary wherever it goes.

inside, the van offers a cozy, intimate space featuring:

• a mini Black womanist reading nook for reflection and inspiration.

• botanical products and herbal tinctures to share with the community.

• singing bowls and guided quotes by Black womanist visionaries, creating a space for rest, reflection, and gentle vibration-based immersion.

• a community journal, where participants can share their visions and dreams for the future, and read the reflections of others.

the interior of the van is designed as a living altar inviting participants to step inside, take a breath, rest, and remember who they are and where they come from. It is a portable space of care, connection, and radical love, reminding everyone that they are seen, held, and deeply loved.
