PENDLE HILL RETREAT
Private Group Retreat
Book this retreat for your own group of 10-21 - extended family, college friends, or work colleagues.
Themes and practices can be co-created with Katy, but here's a template:
Friday 5pm - Sunday 1pm
(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
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.
