For women who pour into everyone else, this intimate, curated afternoon in Pasadena focuses on mind, body, and spirit. The Anchored Experience is the inaugural gathering from Four Anchors Collective, limited to 30 women who want to slow down, unplug from the noise, and come back to themselves. It is designed as an experience rather than a conference or workshop, with moments that invite attendees to step away from their phones and be fully present. Two guest speakers anchor the program. An empowerment conversation with Dr. Lori Ochoa, a behavioral sciences expert, offers a guided space to exhale, reflect, and take away practical strategies that fit real life. A longevity and peptides session with a ConciergeMD physician includes a talk, a Q&A, and a peptide shot bar where attendees can sample different options and observe how their bodies respond. A guided spiritual practice and restorative yoga with Desiree Bourne create a gentle, grounding reset, with no pressure or performance. A structured integration ritual called The Release List helps participants name what they are releasing and what they will carry forward, turning insight into change. Light, nourishing bites and beverages are included, and each guest receives The Anchored Experience Kit to extend the practice at home. Connection continues in a private community designed for ongoing support. The dress code is neutral tones such as soft linens, earthy layers, cream, taupe, or sage. Space is intentionally limited to 30 women. Hosted by Tatiana Vallejo, founder of Four Anchors Collective, in partnership with Dr. Lori Ochoa, Desiree Bourne, ConciergeMD, and Dr. Resham Uttamchandani. This gathering is educational and supportive and is not a substitute for medical advice. For personalized care, consult your healthcare provider.
