WINTER EVENTS & RETREATS
REST, RECEIVE, REFLECT AND RECONNECT
Winter is a time for rest and deep inner work. The season of Winter invites us into a time and space of rest and contemplation. The shorter days, and colder, quieter months are our perfect time to turn inward, nurturing ourselves and connecting deeper with our truth. Taking time to embrace the stillness of winter, helps us to recharge and prepare for the new growth that spring brings. This is a beautiful season to engage in meditation, journaling, reading, and even cozy, quiet time by a crackling fire and warm light to inspire the connection deep within.
