A Retreat for Women : a Journey into Sisterhood
Celestial Sisters is a weekend retreat for women to gather together with other women to celebrate ourselves and each other, unplug from our daily lives, and attune to the sacred land. Enjoy a special weekend October 3-5, 2025 at Liberty Arising, a beautiful High Desert Healing Sanctuary one hour east of San Diego.
Dive into a deeper realm of self-expression and embodiment, create meaningful connections, and expand into community.

I would recommend a Celestial Sisters Retreat to all women, a beautiful weekend to clear your monkey minds and remember who you truly are, and celebrate that.

I've participated in three Celestial Sisters retreats and each one has been unique and perfect in it's own way. The food is amazing and I love the flexible format where you can do as much or as little as you prefer. I find the classes/offerings to be a perfect balance of pushing through my comfort zone, but in a very safe, supportive environment.

I had such a relaxing, rejuvenating weekend with women only. It was peaceful and I was thankful to only drive an hour out of the city to be in nature. I loved all of it and I will be back again.

I was happy that, although I was surprised at the level of emotion that spilled out of me, breaking myself open let the stars in me fill my sky.
