A step away for women with vitiligo who want to spend time together. A small group—10 to 12 women, ages 25 and up—will spend three nights in a coastal home in Murrells Inlet: shared meals, reflections, honest conversation, and a few days without having to explain your skin to anyone in the room. Applications open in early 2027; the interest list is open now for early access and behind-the-scenes updates as we continue building this with our community.
