As the year turns and the light begins its quiet return, we gather to sit with the fire, the stars, and the soul’s winter song. Guided by the energy of the Winter Solstice and falling meteors, this retreat invites deep renewal through soulwork, somatic movement, creative art and journaling, elemental meditation, and ancestral ceremony with Hapé, Cacao, and Sananga. 

Wintering the Soul is a sacred weekend for healers — a space to pause the giving, rest in stillness, and reconnect with your own inner light through ritual, reflection, and community. 

Between moments of shared practice, guests are invited to unwind in woodland stillness — walking among the trees, stargazing, or resting in sacred community.

curious about collaboration?

let’s put our heads and hearts together…

I am able and available to travel in and outside of the U.S. to co-create and co-facilitate. I love working with other therapists, somatic practitioners, psychedelic facilitators, breath work therapists, artists, dream workers, doulas, and ceremonialists. I believe in the strength and wisdom of the collective, we are stronger together! It would be an honor to explore the possibility of working with you.
