EARLY BIRD ‘TIL DEC 2

REGISTRATION CLOSES: DECEMBER 12

Winter Solstice is the stillpoint of the year, a portal of renewal where darkness and light meet. In this pause, nature rests, resets, and prepares for the return of the sun.

This retreat is designed to help you step away from the noise and reset. To step into the mystery of the longest night of the year and realign with your soul and the rhythm of nature.

Through ceremonies with forest-cacao, rapéh (sacred tobacco), fire, and ancestral divination, you’ll be supported to release what no longer serves and welcome in the seeds of sacred vision for 2026.

You can expect to leave with:

  • A lighter heart and nervous system reset

  • Clear guidance from your soul, ancestors, and spirit allies

  • A deep sense of belonging and renewal from ceremony and community

WHAT’S INCLUDED

  • All of your meals which are nourishing, organic and prepared with love

  • A variety of cozy accommodations in cottages, yurts, or lodge rooms

  • Two evenings of beautiful soul healing ceremony of: Forest-Cacao, individual healing, ecstatic dance, and soundbaths
