FOUR DAY RETREAT FOCUSSED ON MOTHER’S DAY

AS the world prepares to celebrate Mother’s Day this Sunday, a powerful shift in narrative is unfolding in Harare – one that moves beyond flowers and gifts to something far deeper.

At the centre of it is Ruth Kudzai, whose ‘EB: Legacy Conference and Retreat’ is bringing together ambitious women at the Peech Boutique Hotel for four days of reflection, alignment and bold visioning.

The retreat is positioning itself as a defining moment for women who are thinking beyond the present and into generational impact — an idea that resonates strongly in the lead-up to Mother’s Day.

“We’re not just talking about careers or businesses here,” Kudzai said.

“We’re talking about the kind of lives we are building, the kind of families we are shaping and the legacy we leave behind — whether or not we have children.”

Her words strike a chord in a society where motherhood is often narrowly defined, yet deeply revered.

This retreat, however, expands that definition, inviting women to see themselves as builders of futures, mentors and custodians of generational wealth and wisdom.

“This weekend is about pausing long enough to ask yourself the bigger questions,” Kudzai added.

“Who am I becoming? What am I building? And how does it live beyond me?”

Inside the retreat, the atmosphere is intentional and immersive.

From curated sessions to intimate conversations, every detail has been crafted to encourage women to slow down and reconnect with purpose.

Daily themes — from structured power dressing to relaxed authenticity — mirror the evolving identity of the modern woman balancing ambition with self-awareness.

The speaker line-up reinforces that message.

Business leader Dr Rebecca Manford is challenging women to own their presence in high-level spaces, while Sekai Kuvarika brings a macro lens on leadership and national impact.

Entrepreneur Nompumelelo Mahlangu is unpacking the discipline required to build meaningful ventures, particularly those that uplift communities and create access for the next generation.

For Kudzai, the alignment with Mother’s Day is not coincidental—it’s symbolic.

“Motherhood, in its truest sense, is about creation, nurturing and legacy,” she said.

“And that’s what this space represents. Whether you’re raising children, building a business, or pouring into your community – you are mothering something.”
