Curious Hearts
Women's Retreat 2026
Creative Practices, Deep Reflection and Heartfelt Connection in a Supportive Community
Join us for a transformative journey at our women’s retreat themed “Curious Hearts.” This retreat invites us to explore what it means to show up authentically with openness, presence, and gentle curiosity—toward ourselves, toward one another, and toward the unfolding of our spiritual lives. With curious hearts, we begin to soften judgment, cultivate vulnerability, and create space for deeper connection, allowing both joy and challenge to become pathways for growth and understanding.
Guided by experienced facilitators, this retreat offers a sacred and supportive space for women to pause from daily responsibilities and cultivate meaningful friendships through sharing wisdom, honoring our lived experiences, and nurturing a sense of belonging within a bhakti-centered space.
Activities may include reflective workshops, art therapy, nature walks, kirtan, guided meditations, and yoga, integrated to support mental, emotional, spiritual well-being.
This event is LGBTQ+ inclusive. Ages 18+. Hosted by ISKCON of DC.
