Love notes from soul sisters —
“This retreat, these women, this experience, all the love and devotion and intention that was poured into it truly rewired my existence as a whole. Witnessing the transformation of all of us going from being nervous at first, to softening into the space, to becoming sisters bound by the soul in just a matter of days was almost unbelievable.
There were no cliques, everyone showed up and loved and connected with every single other person there. We laughed, we danced, we played in the river, we did face masks, we cuddled, we cried, we got real raw and vulnerable. The full spectrum of emotion was felt at this retreat. And it was such a safe space to feel it all. You could really tell everyone came for the exact same thing, for sisterhood, to shed old narratives, to connect with ourselves, our bodies, and with other women, to be open, and let go of our shame, to embrace our femininity, to love and accept each other even though we were all so very different, which made it that much more beautiful. I got cracked open in the best way possible on this retreat, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
My favorite memory on the last night we all sat around a fire under the full moon burning the beliefs about ourselves we were finally ready to let go of and transmute and we sat and hummed together. And I will tell you I have never felt a power so divine than in that moment, where we all ended up harmonizing together as we were one. Gives me chills thinking about it. This retreat was the most powerful beautiful experience I’ve had thus far in my life.
From the profound workshops, to the room placements, to our incredible chef Carol that kept us nourished and fed with delicious beautiful food all week, the yoga every morning, and the itinerary that gave us time to learn and feel but also connect and play and rest.
Never have I felt so seen, so loved, so accepted, and so understood. If you are looking for a life altering experience, and to gain sisters that will brand your soul for life, then Anam Cara is exactly what you are looking for and so much more. I can’t wait to go back.”

“Every time I think of this retreat I’m overwhelmed with so much laughter and love. I was so afraid when I arrived not because of my environment but not allowing myself to believe that I am enough and that I deserved to be here and to be loved by the women around me. Everyone I met solidified that I was meant to be there. I learned so much about myself and I’ve never felt like I belonged so much in my entire life. I knew that I found my people. I’ve always struggled with having close female relationships out of trust and fear for my safety as my mother was my main abuser. These women helped me heal and see that I can trust without being hurt. I had never had a safe space like that to fully learn that it is safe and good to have cuddle puddles:) This taught me that physical love from women is safe and I can also give it. It’s healing to the nervous system. My favorite was when I let all of my walls down on the second day and fully let the love in. Every single moment was magical and healing. I’m still trying to find what was my favorite part but maybe the river once I fully let myself be happy and believe I deserved to enjoy the moment and the women around me. We swam with our tops off and danced to Fleetwood mac and ABBA. Or maybe the last night when we sat under the full moon and let the water rush past us as we sat there giggling at the stars. I could keep going on how every moment with these beautiful women changed my life and I am looking forward to the day we can do this all again.
(to future Anam Cara sisters) Come and be loved. Wherever you are on your journey, know that you are meant to be here. This is a place to remember who you are, to laugh and dance in the sun, to shed tears that are safely held, and to rest in the arms of women who understand and walk beside you. Here, you are seen, you are held, and you belong. The sisterhood here is divine. It’s a circle of women who reflect your light like stars, heal the tender places of your soul, and hold you in truth. This connection you form here is eternal, living in your spirit long after you leave. I am so beyond blessed to have met all of these beautiful women <3”
