craft your own personal retreat
hybrid online/offline workshop • $95
sunday january 11 @ 9am-2pmPT
why personal retreat?
a strong statement: in 23 years of holding space for people to live in a magical way, personal retreat is the single most powerful practice I know. I’m devoted to and passionate about this magnificent practice – what a delight to welcome you!
you already know why rest and retreat are important. in our evolutionary times, we’re asked to accelerate, perform, hold, and do more than body and spirit were designed to carry. (big heart hug if you’ve been feeling that lately) that pressure is noisy, coercive, and a big bunch of harmful nonsense – retreat is the radical opposite that teaches us how to slow, return, and meet growing edges with tenderness and strength.
you can create a meaningful, effective personal retreat with any budget and any available amount of time. truly! I’ve taught women from every walk of life how to do this, from single mamas to millionaires – this is for everyone. warm welcome.
in a world that praises speed, slowing is not a luxury. it is true medicine.
workshop format: something special
- workbook
a beautiful 12-page guide you fill out before we gather, covering 6 kinds of retreat, intention, preparation, boundaries, sacred space, opening and closing rituals. - preparation
before the half-day workshop: complete the workbook, set your space. - circle @ 9amPT (1 hour online)
we gather in the morning (exciting!) to welcome the sacred and share about our lives as women have done for millennia. we name what we’re bringing, and what we’re welcoming. - retreat @ 10amPT (3 hours offline)
glide offscreen for a delicious, restorative or adventuresome retreat (you choose), while women in circle do the same. this is so fun – and it’s also living proof that deep reclamation can happen in a small, deliberate container. - integration @ 1pmPT (1 hour online)
we come back together to decompress, celebrate, and witness what happened, closing with ideas to root this wondrous practice in your life.
‘this practice saved my life, and brought me home to myself.’
come play
this is the best medicine I know, this slowing down in a world that demands you constantly speed up.
the workshop holds magic, tenderness, and the pragmatic wisdom that real life requires. welcome!
who this is for
- women who feel the accelerated tempo of our times isn’t a fit for your true self
- brilliant, tender, creative women who long to live in a restful, magical way
- women who welcome a reliable, portable practice to come home to themselves

a note from anna
hi radiant goddesses! I’ve lived an unusual life, filled with intensity (and wild beauty). longer story short, I fell into the trance of our times, and moved at a pace that didn’t fit me until my life force was nearly spent. woof!
the seeds of this workshop arrived for me 20+ years ago with the ‘sacred day of nothing.’ that evolved into 3 days of monthly retreat, and finally a long sabbatical that rewove my bones. I can say with full honesty: personal retreat practice saved my life, and brought me home to myself when I needed it most.
it’s an honor to hold space where you can find your own version of this practice that works for you. warm welcome.
all you need are the sacred mechanics,
to create a retreat that makes your world sing.
lived experience
“anna is a master of articulating magic in a way that makes sense to my 3D life. she shared the importance of personal retreat with me, and I still think about it a lot.
she very skillfully helped me weave a strong container that allowed miracles to happen, and did it so playfully I just felt like I was having fun.
I created the next chapter of my life’s work on my retreat. it was a real gift.”
“anna deeply inspired me, and creatively guided me to explore a new way to savor time alone – my very own personal retreat!
I was blessed by a life-changing sunrise, a profound labyrinth walk, and a powerful message that brought me the clarity I’d been seeking for a long time.
it was truly magical. I will hold it in my heart forever.”
