URBANA, IL (Chambana Today) – Ujima Retreat Center is a Black, family-owned country estate in Urbana that was established in 2022. Ujima was created to provide an escape from the heightened stress, health concerns, and social isolation that intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Center is designed so guests can immerse themselves in nature and recharge, away from the daily pressures of life.

Spread across 7 acres, Ujima offers a range of relaxing amenities designed for rejuvenation. The retreat features an all-weather sleeping cabin, a 2.5-acre spring-fed pond, a versatile pavilion, a cozy sauna, a soothing hot tub, a community garden, a barn, and a fire pit. This setting provides the perfect environment for individuals, families, and groups to unwind:

  • Private Retreats: Ujima offers a private, natural setting for individuals, families, small groups, and teams to retreat and recharge.
  • Wellness Experiences: They facilitate wellness experiences designed to enhance the well-being of the community and promote reconnection with nature, self, and local service professionals.
  • Community and Healing: The center is rooted in the belief that healing and growth thrive through connection and collaboration.

Until the end of February, Ujima Retreat Center offers their “February Romance Overnight Retreat” to reconnect, relax, and strengthen a couple’s bond. This intimate, private getaway allows couples to enjoy each other’s company without distractions, surrounded by the tranquility of nature.
