This retreat marks a turning point in the year: the darkest night, and the gradual return of the light.
The darkness of winter carries its own wisdom and brings us into the place where growth can begin to take root. When we plant intentions in this fertile ground, we prepare for the brilliant colors of spring.
This retreat is an invitation to tend to the quiet flame within, to find your own guiding light in the darkness, and to nourish the inner landscape where new growth begins. As we turn inward and embrace the wisdom of the dark, we create space to uncover the medicine it holds and nurture the seeds of what is yet to come.
