May Pendle Hill Retreat: Embodied Unhooking
May 17-19th 2024
(retreaters are invited to arrive before formal events begin at 5pm, and to explore campus longer at the close of retreat)
A weekend devoted to collective clarity and support in learning some somatic approaches to equity work at the intersection of embodiment and spirituality. Explore practices that can help decolonize the mindbody from the toxic societal "hooks" that tug us away from our center. For this hard work we need all the tools in our toolbox: techniques from neuroscience for self-regulation & co-regulation in conflict situations, deep-dive reflective writing prompts, and communal ritual practice in sacred space.
Weekend Retreat includes:
- private room, unless you specially request a shared room
- four mindful movement classes (2 morning energizing sessions, 2 evening restorative sessions)
- Saturday afternoon workshop
- Centering practices from an Embodied Quaker perspective
- healthy, organic vegetarian fare to reset your dietary clock
This weekend offers the opportunity to deepen your practice in a small, like-minded group of 15.
Pendle Hill is a Quaker retreat center 20 minutes outside center city Philadelphia. Brinton House is a secluded cottage nestled back in the woods, complete with its own dining hall, cozy fireplace, and yoga studio with vaulted ceilings, wraparound windows, and gleaming radiant-heat floor, overlooking a bamboo-surrounded frog pond.
Participants should be comfortable with a flow-style of movement, with creative sequences of actions threaded together.
Your spot is reserved with full payment by Venmo or personal check.
All-inclusive tiered pricing model:
*$600 (supports 4 others in the Shiné community)
*$500 (pays for you)
*$400 (community supported rate)
Please understand these are volatile times - you may want to obtain travel insurance in the case of unforeseen circumstances. Your registration fee will not be refunded, but if you have a friend who would like to take your spot, transfers will be honored.

REJUVINATING CREATIVITY: A Retreat for Art-Loving Urbanites
private group retreat
(ongoing - now booking groups of 10-20)
This retreat offers much-needed respite for the urban aesthete. Shiné's reboot recipe feeds the senses, spirit, and creative mind. The program is designed for busy city-dwellers, as a full-day retreat or an overnight stay.
Our time together will include:
- lectio divina in nature
meditative walk intuiting nature's messages
- Friends Meeting
you may choose instead of forest bathing, to ground your spirit within the Quaker tradition of gathering in silence to practice "expectant waiting"
- creative play
a process-driven crafts project, experiencing mindfulness through art without the angst around "getting it right"
- James Turrell Skyspace Opening
this permanent installation takes us deeper into our perception of light and space. world-renowned Turrell accents the color of the sky, appearing through an aperture in the ceiling, with carefully-timed cove lighting
- restorative movement practice with healing touch
an accessible, all-levels experience designed to relax the nervous system, consisting of seated and supine postures supported by blankets and props. includes healing touch with elements of massage, energy work, and aromatherapy.
Now booking groups of 10-20 participants
For dates and rates, contact Katy.
