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 Solstice Rituals: Engage in ancient rituals that honor 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.
Wild Journaling & Botanical Rituals: Explore seasonal themes through creative journaling using plant-based inks and herbal teas, deepening your connection to the land and your inner rhythms.
Create Your Winter Solstice Bundle Kit: Craft a personalized seasonal kit using natural materials and botanical elements, designed to support your journey through winter and beyond.
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.
