Shiné's half-day, full-day, and weekend retreats offer a more expansive opportunity to engage with spiritual practice physically, emotionally, and conceptually. Each retreat creates a soft, supportive environment for helping participants to heal body and mind.
Upcoming:
ANCESTRAL HEALING RETREAT
Chestertown, MD
September 19-21, 2025
now booking shared rooms
This weekend retreat will be an embodied exploration of ancestral healing. We'll be opening as a group to how we might uproot outdated conditioned tendencies to reclaim the more beautiful and often lost somatic expressions of our ancestral lineages. This is intended to be an investigation of how we can liberate from the holding patterns that inhere in domination culture, so if direct discussions of race equity make you uncomfortable, this will not be your jam. If, on the other hand, you're into an approach to healing informed by somatics and animism, if you want some companioning in the deeper dives into ancestral soil, come join us.
Weekend Retreat includes:
- 2-night stay in two gorgeous modern houses set on 25 woodsy acres, with swimming pond, jacuzzi, sauna, hot tub, and pool
- 4 mindful movement classes (2 morning somatics sessions, and 2 evening restorative yoga classes) *some experience with Shiné somatics required
- Saturday afternoon workshop, perhaps with creative crafting
- healthy fare to reset your dietary clock by Chef Grace Gonglewski
All-inclusive stay per shared room - $1500 (cost split as you'd like):
-Main House king room with private bath & balcony overlooking pond
-2nd House King
-2nd House King & double futon
-2nd House Queen & double bed

Pendle Hill Retreat: Embodied Unhooking
2025 dates TBA
(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:
*$800 (supports 4 others in the Shiné community)
*$650 (pays for you)
*$400 (community supported rate)
Registration is non-refundable but transferable if you have a friend who would like to take your spot.
