What this retreat is

II

We see out the darkest night of the year and welcome the light back: slowly, warmly, in no hurry about stepping into the sun's new cycle.

The solstice is a turning point. You can close a year without making a list of it, and live it through the body instead: let go of what has been, sit in the quiet and listen for where you want to go next.

  • Sauna with birch whisks and the warm outdoor tub between rounds in the steam
  • Solstice ceremony candles, fire, a quiet look back at the year and an intention for the next
  • Body and energy work drawing on shamanic traditions
  • Tibetan bowls and drum a sound journey and shamanic rhythm
  • Free time the fireplace, a blanket, quiet
  • A little magic outside the schedule new practices and techniques we always bring to our retreats

The longest night of the year: time to slow down, be in the quiet and wait for the light to start returning.

The place and the shape of it

IV

A spacious villa in the winter forest, a warm outdoor tub and a sauna kept hot all evening.

Three days at a December pace: practice in the morning, long walks in the winter forest, then candles, sound and warmth in the evening. In between, as much quiet as you need.
