Embrace the Art of Wintering: A Transformative Journey into Rest and Renewal

This winter, gift yourself a truly unique and transformative experience with our THE ART OF WINTERING program. As the world around us encourages busyness, it’s easy to forget the vital need for rest and regeneration. Our one-month home immersion program is designed to help you counter that norm and cultivate clarity, elevate relaxation, and rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit.

Beginning in January, just before the New Moon, we’ll provide a wealth of resources aimed at helping you tap into higher states of consciousness. Join us for three enriching Zoom calls sweetly spaced throughout the month to foster a sense of community and support. Together, we’ll explore how our creative life force needs space to dream and connect with what’s waiting to emerge in the new year.

The Art of Wintering includes guided mindfulness meditations, gentle yoga practices, and a special ceremony to connect with the Cacao Plant Spirit as a healing guide. We’ll share nourishing recipes that use food as medicine, and teach you how to align your energy with the moon’s phases—plus so much more.

We believe everyone deserves to experience the calming and illuminating benefits of mindfulness and self-care. Without winter rest, we may continue to be unaware or stuck inside of patterns and behaviors that aren’t supportive of our overall well-being. This winter, take a step towards a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling YOU!
