Retreat Description
The 3-hour, in-person Seasonal Transition Retreat will help you woo into winter rather than dread the cold ahead. Here, you will connect with the cycles of the natural world as the dynamic, natural human you are, so just like the bears in their burrows, you can winter well. In this space, we will shift the narrative of seasonal depression and look forward to wintering with intention. This is an engagement we often forget to give ourselves permission to be a part of, but it's a process our bodies, minds, and souls organically feel amidst fallen leaves and shorter spans of light.
To prepare for our own hibernation periods, we will be using Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May. Her text will frame our discussion on what a seasonal downshift is and how it can serve you. Throughout the retreat, we will flow through a series of reflection, writing, meditation, and gentle movement practices to bring attention to the restoration of the body, create rest for the mind, and deepen resonance with the soul.

Retreat Purpose
Our intention for this retreat is to support you in coping and finding an enlightened relationship with the winter season. We know winter can bring about discomfort, fatigue, isolation, pain, and grief for many. It is our hope to create a space to nurture and acknowledge the experience of the season change and provide you with insight and practices that you can carry beyond this retreat to uplift your peace.
Another mission of this retreat is to foster and embrace the light that community can bring. We’re so glad to have you, your story, and your wisdom here in this circle of learning, relation, and encouragement. You can also find this experience to be purposeful in whatever way it becomes to you, well, because it’s yours.
