Through intimate healing experiences, nervous system restoration, emotional processing, and sacred inner work, participants are supported in releasing old wounds, reconnecting to themselves, and rediscovering clarity, peace, and purpose.
Viva Ananda Bhavan is an intentionally intimate healing environment where what has been suppressed finally has space to surface, be witnessed, and begin to heal. Come an experience a profound transformation while being safely held by sacred feminine presence.
Leave feeling lighter, more grounded, emotionally freer, deeply connected, and finally able to hear your own inner truth again.
This coming October, we are opening the doors of Viva Ananda Bhavan, our sanctuary at the base of Camelback Mountain, for our signature Weaver’s Retreat.
This is not a workshop or your typical wellness weekend.
It is a 4 day ceremonial immersion designed to help you slow down, release the emotional weight, patterns, and identities that no longer belong to the next chapter of your life, reconnect with your essence, and come back into relationship with your own inner knowing.
Held by a circle of facilitators whose gifts create a living field of care, this retreat is built for those who feel the call to go inward and remember what is true.
Come Experience Our Signature Retreat
What The Retreat Is
Over the course of the weekend, you will be gently guided through The Seven Seals — a transformational inner journey designed to help uncover unconscious emotional patterns, reconnect you to your inner truth, and restore a deeper relationship with your body, intuition, and the Divine.
Through ceremony, meditation, emotional processing, silence, nature immersion, and sacred group connection, the experience supports participants in releasing emotional weight, softening old identities, and creating space for clarity, peace, and renewal.
The journey culminates Sunday evening in a sacred closing ceremony designed to help integrate what has surfaced emotionally, spiritually, and energetically throughout the retreat.
Participants leave feeling lighter, clearer, more grounded, and deeply reconnected to themselves.
What often stays with participants long after the retreat ends is the unexpected depth of connection formed throughout the experience. Many arrive as strangers and leave feeling deeply seen, genuinely understood, and connected to a community that feels like soul family.
Be Held By A Living Lineage

The Weaver’s Retreat May Be For You If…
You feel emotionally exhausted from holding everything together or carrying the emotional weight of others
You’re moving through grief, heartbreak, burnout, or a major life transition
You sense you’ve outgrown an old version of yourself
You are seeking clarity during a major life transition
You’re longing for emotional healing, spiritual reconnection, and genuine belonging
You are tired of constantly overthinking and feeling disconnected from your inner knowing
You’ve done personal growth work but still feel something unresolved beneath the surface
You long to reconnect with your body
This retreat is for people who want more than insight. It is for those who are ready for a real shift in how they live, choose, and relate to themselves.
After this experience, what changes is often subtle at first, but deeply real:
You wake up and the first sensation is not dread. It is steadiness
You make decisions in work, relationships, and life with more clarity and less internal circling
You feel more able to say yes when you mean yes, and no when you mean no
You reach less for the habits that once filled the emptiness, because the emptiness is no longer quite so loud
You feel more at home in your own body, in your breath, and in silence.
You remember what it feels like to be connected, not only to yourself, but to the natural world around you
What You’ll Walk Away With
Accommodations
At the foothills of Camelback Mountain, this retreat is intentionally rooted in place. Viva Ananda Bhavan is a private desert estate designed for silence, ceremony, and deep integration.
Nature is not just the backdrop, it’s part of the medicine. The stillness of the land, the desert air, the mountains, the sky, and the slower rhythm of the space all support the deeper invitation of the weekend: to unplug from the noise, come inward, and reconnect with what has been waiting beneath the surface.
Your home for the weekend is 10 private, elegantly furnished glamping tents nestled among the trees - a gentle cocoon between ceremony, silence, and sleep.
Our meals are created by a gifted retreat chef known for her ability to weave nourishment, artistry, and intention into every dish. Her cuisine is both deeply comforting and exquisitely refined, supporting your body while elevating your sensory experience. Each meal will follow the princples of the ancient science of Ayurveda and be held beneath our breezeway overlooking the mountain.
