“This retreat, these women, this experience, all the love and devotion and intention that was poured into it truly rewired my existence as a whole. Witnessing the transformation of all of us going from being nervous at first, to softening into the space, to becoming sisters bound by the soul in just a matter of days was almost unbelievable.

There were no cliques, everyone showed up and loved and connected with every single other person there. We laughed, we danced, we played in the river, we did face masks, we cuddled, we cried, we got real raw and vulnerable. The full spectrum of emotion was felt at this retreat. And it was such a safe space to feel it all. You could really tell everyone came for the exact same thing, for sisterhood, to shed old narratives, to connect with ourselves, our bodies, and with other women, to be open, and let go of our shame, to embrace our femininity, to love and accept each other even though we were all so very different, which made it that much more beautiful. I got cracked open in the best way possible on this retreat, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

My favorite memory on the last night we all sat around a fire under the full moon burning the beliefs about ourselves we were finally ready to let go of and transmute and we sat and hummed together. And I will tell you I have never felt a power so divine than in that moment, where we all ended up harmonizing together as we were one. Gives me chills thinking about it. This retreat was the most powerful beautiful experience I’ve had thus far in my life.

From the profound workshops, to the room placements, to our incredible chef that kept us nourished and fed with delicious beautiful food all week, the yoga every morning, and the itinerary that gave us time to learn and feel but also connect and play and rest.

Never have I felt so seen, so loved, so accepted, and so understood. If you are looking for a life altering experience, and to gain sisters that will brand your soul for life, then Anam Cara is exactly what you are looking for and so much more. I can’t wait to go back.” -Shelby

“Anam Cara is my first experience away from home with only new faces surrounding me. I immediately noticed that the bubble of energy, connection, and intention that envelops this space is unique. Impactful. Everybody interacted and connected with everybody. There were waves of emotions felt through the week, and each one was witnessed with love and care. I can't remember ever feeling so comfortable so quickly in a new environment.

It felt like sisterhood was the root of the experience, and from that root blossomed the tears, the laughter, the expression. The shedding of narratives and beliefs, and the integration of practices and words so thoughtfully shared by Zahiyah. We learned, we danced, we ate amazing food.

We stayed up late talking and giggling, and had morning yoga flows and hot tub chats. We moved through powerful workshops and came out the other side ready to hold and witness one another and ourselves.

Things I was stressing about in my life even resolved while there. I secured a new job after months of looking, and we got health results for my partner that we'd been waiting a long time for. Both unexpected but so aligned for me; for those to happen while in such an energetically charged space. Anam Cara is a slow flowing week of existence, experience, and integration with soul sisters, and if you're feeling the tug, I cannot encourage you enough to explore the option!! The space is a life-altering offering.” - Danielle
