The Power of Circle: Why Women’s Retreats Mean More Than You Think
Usha Anandi. 30| SEPTEMBER2025| 2025
When COVID pushed the world into isolation, so many of us adapted by moving our work, our healing, and even our circles online. Womben Wellness experienced a significant shift as my reach shifted from dozens of women to hundreds, even thousands of women across the globe.
It was such a powerful time. The ripples of my circles started to carry to every corner of the globe. Zoom became an altar – a place of gathering and togetherness.
But despite all the incredible power that came with sharing this work to a broader audience… It all felt more like survival instead of thrival. Virtual connection left a gap that no amount of online time could fill.
Now, half a decade later, I’m ready to face off with some real truths.
Nothing replaces the feeling of looking into another woman’s eyes.
Nothing compares to holding hands, singing together, or lathering mud on each other under the sun.
These are the moments when we remember. Because ultimately, we were never meant to do this alone.
It’s these big lessons that live in the heart of our retreats. Since COVID and having my daughter, I don’t get the opportunity for as many in-person get-togethers. That means that every retreat I do host becomes extra special.
The work we do together in-person isn’t just contained within those seven days – it ripples out for months and years, shaping how we show up in our families, our communities, and in ourselves. Want to meet me at my next retreat?
✨ Join us for Waters of the Womb: A Womb Healing Retreat, May 8th to the 13th, 2026 at Casa Tara in Mexico. I’m currently running early bird pricing, so if you book your spot now, you can save $500.
The women who attended last year’s retreat spoke again and again about the power of community. Here’s what they shared:
“Being with other women in person is the main delight of the retreat. We are women here together sharing this experience on a new level and it’s an absolute pleasure. I already felt it when I followed the online courses, but being here in person was even more powerful.”
“Being in this sacred space that she created for us has been amazing because we felt so safe to share our vulnerability, our trauma, our family history. Whatever came to the space was welcome. That safety is what allowed the healing to happen.”
“It’s the ending now, but it’s only the beginning. I feel so inspired by everyone here, both the women and the village and all of the teachers, and I can’t wait for the journey to keep going.”
Watch Their Experience
A Circle That Goes Beyond These Seven Days
One of the greatest truths of Womben Wellness etreat is that it doesn’t end when we leave Casa Tara.
The sisterhood continues.
The practices weave into daily life.
The songs echo in kitchens and bedrooms long after we return home.
Women carry their transformations back to their families, their work, their communities. And in doing so, the retreat trickles out from this week of healing and into a movement of reconnection.
THIS is why circle matters. To sit with other women, sing together, witness and be witnessed.
Our stories, our bodies, our voices are sacred – that’s why I’d love to see you in Mexico with me next May.
These opportunities are rare – and the world needs more women walking in their wholeness, together. Save $500 with my early bird offer for Waters of the Womb now, and pay in up to 8 instalments.
