Celebrate Our Sisterhood


This retreat was inspired by the natural beauty of

Kol Emet's new Outdoor Contemplative Space.

The call was strong to celebrate our sisterhood through practices curated for deeper compassion and understanding of self,

You can expect to connect with community, while moving your body, heart and mind to your own beat. You can expect the treasured moments that come from mindfully preparing and eating food, moving, thinking, and laughing together in a place we love.

It is our practices and our sisterhood that help us transition between the sacred and the secular while mining meaning and making memories along the way.

Sacred Refuge:

It’s the people who make the place.  What a remarkable phenomenon that those who are meant to gather in community, show up when they are called. This alchemy is part of the process, and you are the catalyst.

Sacred Refuge is an opportunity to connect with community through sacred and secular practices (including fire ceremony, light movement, walking, interacting with nature, chanting, and eating together).

Taking refuge or going on retreat, however long, allows the time and space to cultivate meaningful, lasting self-care while strengthening the bonds of sisterhood.

The Sacred Refuge experience is an empty space waiting to be filled with conversations, practices, teachings, and the mystery of what will transpire and transform.

Sacred Refuge is for you if:

  • you see and look for magic in the world (or would like to).

  • you’re invested in a deeper understanding of who you are and how you operate.

  • the idea of dedicating time for yourself in community feels good.

  • self-care is a priority that can no longer go unaddressed.

  • community and connection matter to you

What to expect:

Expect to release what waits for you later. Once we gather, our collective focus will be in the moments and memories we make together.

We will move, tell stories, and celebrate traditional elements of Havdallah (the ritual marking the end of the Sabbath) with extra attention on our senses.

Seasoned with gratitude, we will prepare a light meal, connecting through our shared food stories and the casual conversations that build bonds. As a community, we will enjoy it in brief, relative silence.

Most of our activities will be held at the Outdoor Contemplative Space and in surrounding nature, but we will also be indoors, utilizing the Social Hall and Kitchen.

You will leave with a feeling-sense of the sacred. Your access to this feeling only requires awareness. Shabbat (Sabbath) cycles in and out every week, leaving us to dance with the energies of sacred and secular on a regular basis. Expect to learn a few new steps to add to (or edit from) this dance.

Anecdotal Anatomy in Action is thrilled to unite with Kol Emet to bring this unique retreat to the Sisterhood, our Keystone Members, and women in the community who are feeling called to join us.
