Rooted: A Winter Sanctuary is a sacred retreat for Black women to honor the quiet end of the year. Held at the luxurious, Black-owned Mansion at Noble Lane, this experience invites you to exhale, reflect, and return to your center. While the world races toward New Year’s resolutions, we will gather in stillness to rest deeply, reconnect with ourselves, and listen for what’s next.

Winter is not the start of something new;  it is the pause before the emergence.
Let this be your time to remember what matters, release what no longer fits, and root yourself in clarity, care, and ancestral wisdom.

What was once an exclusive estate is now your personal escape in Pennsylvania’s Poconos Lake Region. The Mansion at Noble Lane is just a two-hour drive from New York City and a few minutes more from Philadelphia, but worlds away from stressful living.

Built as a Gilded Age Grand Dame for founders of the F.W. Woolworth Company, the opulent mansion on 22 lush acres is now a boutique bed and breakfast resort hotel where relaxation, rejuvenation and reconnecting with self, your mate or friends and family comes first. Enjoy a spa vacation, a romantic rendezvous or a girlfriends’ getaway. Or plan a corporate retreat, family reunion or wedding of a lifetime.

At The Mansion at Noble Lane, the possibilities are endless — just like our scenic views.

🌙 What’s Included:

• ✨ Journaling Circle & Annual Reflection Session
  Guided prompts and quiet time to honor what this year taught you — and release what it’s time to let go of.

• 🧘🏾‍♀️ Morning Yoga & Stretch Session
  Gentle movement to ground your body, soothe your nervous system, and welcome the day with intention.

• 🥂 Welcome & Farewell Dinners (Themed)
  One celebratory, one soul-nourishing — both styled with elegance, intention, and sisterhood.

• 🍫 S’mores & Champagne by the Fire
  Cozy nighttime bonding with luxe touches — because sweetness and sparkle are sacred, too.

  On our first evening together, we gather in celebration; honoring the journey that brought each woman to this sanctuary. The dining room glows with golden candlelight, jewel-toned linens, and lush winter greenery. Soft music fills the air as champagne flutes are raised, marking the beginning of a weekend devoted to rest, reflection, and renewal.

  A refined multi-course meal awaits, inspired by the richness of the season: roasted winter vegetables, decadent entrées, and desserts that linger like sweet memories. Between courses, we share a simple ritual: each guest offers one word for how she longs to feel during the retreat, placing it at her setting as a quiet reminder of her intention.

  This night is both an arrival and a celebration; a moment to shed the weight of the year, step fully into the present, and toast to the beauty of sisterhood in winter’s embrace.

  On our final night, we gather not to say goodbye, but to seal the warmth, wisdom, and connection we’ve cultivated. The tables are dressed in soft, neutral tones: cream linens, woven textures, and dried winter florals, evoking the quiet beauty of the season. A gentle glow from candles and twinkling lights creates a cocoon of peace, while the scent of comforting, gourmet dishes drifts through the air.

  We share a soul-nourishing menu; each bite grounding us in gratitude. As the evening unfolds, we circle together for one last ritual: each woman speaks a single truth she’s carrying forward into the new year. In return, she receives a small token, a reminder of the sanctuary she carries within.

  This night is a blessing for the road ahead, a gentle return to the world, and a promise to keep tending the roots we’ve grown together.

✨ The Energy We Hold Together: Booked and Bougie Code of Conduct

Rooted: A Winter Sanctuary is a place for Black women to experience softness, sisterhood, and soul-deep restoration. Every woman’s presence is part of the magic we create — which is why we honor the Booked and Bougie Code of Conduct as a shared agreement for our time together.

When you join us, you’re saying “yes” to:

• Creating a welcoming atmosphere — leading with kindness, respect, and inclusion in every interaction.
• Holding space for one another — listening without judgment and honoring the different ways women show up, share, and connect.
• Communicating with care — bringing any concerns directly to your hosts so they can be handled with grace and discretion.
• Protecting the retreat energy — keeping our space free from gossip, unnecessary conflict, or disruptive behavior.
• Moving in harmony with the group — honoring the schedule and shared spaces so that everyone feels at ease.
• Keeping what’s shared sacred — our stories and experiences remain within this circle.

We reserve the right to remove anyone from the trip without refund if their behavior violates this code and disrupts the safety or harmony of the group.

This is how we protect the beauty, safety, and intimacy of our time together — so that every woman can leave feeling seen, supported, and renewed.
