🔥 Join the fire: Winter Retreat

Dear friends,

I hope this message finds you well.

I’m reaching out to share details about our upcoming Winter Retreat, beginning Thursday, January 15, 2026.

If you haven’t been on a retreat before, this will be a powerful opportunity to rest deeply, reset your system, gently clear old emotions, stress, and patterns, and gain a more profound understanding as the Self as the co-creator of reality, as we step into a new cycle for the year ahead.

I know we're all very busy at this time of year...

However, you may have already experienced how making the time for this inner work, deep rest + self-inquiry is invaluable for your year ahead, where showing up as the most calm, clear,  grounded, authentic version of yourself has never been more necessary.

We meet online.

This retreat will take place online, meaning you can participate from the comfort of your own home with minimal distractions + a cozy space.

And while it’s an online program, we won’t be spending much time on screens. 

You’ll be guided through a simple, structured rhythm of deep rest, breathontology, Ayurvedic self-care, contemplation and self-inquiry, nature walks, simple cooking, and spacious stillness — practices designed to support genuine healing, restoration + new insights.

Winter Retreat Intentions

In the depths of midwinter, the archetype of the Magical Child stirs. 

Our seasonal celebrations at this time of year honour the light reborn at the Solstice, the birth of a divine child who renews the world, and the sacred threshold between one year ending and another beginning.

These celebrations invite us toward wonder and hope, honouring the death of the old self and the birth of the new. In indigenous cultures, it is at the darkest time of year -- in the cold, dark winter -- where we are able to awaken our imaginations of what is possible, and dream tomorrow.

It is this imagination -- also known through the archetype of the magical child -- that becomes the creative force capable of restoring a world on the brink of dissolution.

In this retreat, we will be taking a deeper look at the theme of transmutation through self-inquiry, breathwork, meditation and contemplation. 

You know you will love it ...

Ready to join us?

The retreat begins Thursday, January 15 at 6:00 pm through Sunday, January 18 at 2:00 pm.

And don’t worry if you don’t live alone or in a different time zone — the program is easy to follow as long as you have a quiet space where you can rest and practice.
