Silence of the Season – One day retreat

Silence of the Season: A Winter Day Retreat



This retreat calls to those who long for stillness and connection to the quiet whispers of the land and the depths of their own dreams. For those ready to embrace winter’s gentle pause and sacred space to reflect, envision, and renew, planting seeds of inspiration for seasons yet to bloom.

REST – REFLECT – REJUVENATE

Winter invites us to pause, to breathe deeply, and to honor the land in its quiet transformation. Beneath its snowy white blanket, the earth rests—preparing for the vibrant bloom of spring. It’s a time of stillness, not of emptiness, but of rich potential, mirroring our own need for rest and renewal.

Join us in this sacred season to connect deeply with the land, and with your inner dreams. Through a snowshoe hike in a tranquil cedar forest, we’ll walk gently on the earth, honoring its wisdom and stillness. Together, we’ll explore dreamtime through guided reflections, visualizations, and vision boarding—nurturing the seeds of what’s to come. This day is an invitation to embrace winter’s gifts, to rest in its stillness, and to awaken to the possibilities waiting within you.

Come, and let the land inspire your next season of growth.
