🌞 The Light That Endures

A Winter Solstice Retreat for Women

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.”
— Albert Camus

✨ A day to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the warmth that lives quietly within us.

As the earth turns once more toward the light, we gather for a day of movement, reflection, nourishment, and creative expression — an invitation to honour both the darkness and the slow returning glow.

Beneath the ancient tulip tree and around the fire’s warmth, we’ll listen to the rhythms of the season, the whispers of our own inner flame, and celebrate the essence of the wild woman.

Inside, we’ll share a nourishing meal and a space for creativity and reflection; outside, we’ll breathe the winter air and feel the pulse of the living earth.

This is a time to pause, to rekindle trust in your own enduring light — and to let it gently illuminate the path ahead.
