Winters Welcome Retreat Day

As the wheel of the year turns to Lìdōng, the traditional Chinese beginning of winter, aligned with Samhain’s threshold into the darker half of the year, we’re invited to slow down, turn inward, and honour nature’s wisdom. This season of deepening Yin calls us to rest, nourish our reserves, and tend the quiet inner flame that sustains us until spring’s return.

This retreat offers grounding practices, reflection, and gentle release, creating space for renewal and gratitude. Together, we will embrace winter as a sacred time of incubation, remembrance, transformation, and harnessing the quiet power of your inner light.

What Awaits You:

• Opening Grounding Drumming Meditation and Tea Ceremony. Settle into the space with a warming seasonal tea and intention setting in circle, honouring the deepening of Yin and the threshold of the dark.
• Gentle Qi Gong (Moving Meditation) for Winter, harmonising energy, grounding your spirit and attuning to the element of Water.
• Acupressure self-treatment techniques paired with an essential oil blend aligned with the season to deepen into your intention
• Reflective Practices such as guided journaling to release what is no longer needed and make space for nourishment.
• Acupuncture and soundbath, a deeply restorative session where gentle needles and resonant tones from the crystal chalices, drum, chimes and more carry you into stillness and renewal.
