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:
Winter Hygge retreat on the Eastern Shore - Chestertown, MD
January 31-February 2
Hygge is the Danish word for the comforts of winter - the word implies coziness, warmth, and convivial attunement to other like-minded souls. There will be opportunities to explore the winter landscape on these gorgeous 25 acres, and also plenty of warmth to be found in cozy somatics sessions, not to mention the hot tub, jacuzzi, and sauna.
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 energizing sessions, and 2 evening restorative sessions) open to all levels of practice
- Saturday afternoon workshop, perhaps with creative crafting
- Somatic practices from across traditions
- healthy fare to reset your dietary clock by Chef Grace Gonglewski
All-inclusive stay:
Flex pricing for various accommodations available, from $400 (bunkbed room) to $1400 (king room with private bath and balcony, can be shared for $700 each) and all kinds of rooms/prices in between!
Inquire with Katy to learn about all the options

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.
