Wild Woman Winter Solstice Gathering

About Wild Woman Winter Solstice Gathering

Step into a sacred space this Winter Solstice, where the quiet of the woodland and the warmth of sisterhood invite you to connect deeply with yourself and the natural world, in a serene, private forest setting. This is your time to slow down, reflect, and set meaningful intentions for the journey ahead.

Event Highlights:

Forest Bathing: Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of the forest, learning to slow down and be fully present. Reconnect with the earth and your inner essence as you embrace the stillness around you.

Community Fire Circle: Gather around the comforting glow of the fire, where we’ll share stories, wisdom, and the magic of sisterhood. Feel the power of connection as we hold space for one another, sharing our experiences and setting intentions.

Winter Rituals: Engage in ancient rituals that honour the cycles of nature and the rhythms of the seasons. Through reflective journaling, you’ll receive prompts centered on the Winter Solstice theme, helping you to mindfully prepare for the winter ahead.

Hot Cacao & Treats: Savour the comfort of nourishing hot cacao and delicious winter treats, thoughtfully crafted to warm both your body and soul.

Women’s Circle: Connect with like-minded women in a supportive space, letting go of what no longer serves you and welcoming new opportunities within a warm and nurturing community.

This gathering is more than just an event—it’s a journey into the heart of winter, a time for deep reflection, release, and renewal. Allow yourself the gift of connection with nature and a community of kindred spirits.

No prior experience is needed, just an open heart and a willingness to connect.

Important Details:

Bawsinch & Duddingston Loch Nature Reserve @ 5 Old Church Lane Duddingston EH15 3PX

The meeting point for the event is at the car park at Duddingston Kirk on Duddingston Road West, directly across from Holy Rood High School. The entrance to the car park is just before the turnoff to Old Church Lane. After parking, we’ll take a brief walk of a few minutes to reach the nature reserve.

What to Wear: Please dress in layers, with walking boots and waterproofs to stay comfortable in the outdoor setting.

What to Bring: Consider bringing a thermos of tea, a cup, a pen, a journal, and any snacks you'd like to enjoy.

We will run the session in all weathers except high winds or extreme cold. If the session is cancelled you will be contacted with as much notice as possible.

This event is purposefully kept intimate, with 12 spaces available, to ensure that we can fully honour each attendee and create a safe, sacred space for deep connection.

Nature for Wellness is committed to accessibility and inclusivity in our events. We offer a sliding scale ticket option with a reduced-rate Community Access Ticket to ensure cost is not a barrier. Additionally, our Supporter Ticket allows those who can contribute more to help us continue our mission of fostering an open and supportive wellness community.

Limited spaces available. Reserve your spot today and embrace the magic of the Winter Solstice with us.

I look forward to seeing you in the sacred space of circle.
