Between Darkness
& Light

An Enchanted Winter Gathering

Step Into the Weekend ↓

YOUR DECEMBER RETREAT

In the quiet space
between.

There is an old kind of magic that belongs to winter.

The glow of candlelight, the fragrance of evergreens, warm spiced wassail, and traditions passed down through generations.

Long before the holidays became filled with endless lists and expectations, people gathered during the darkest days of the year to share warmth, honor nature’s rhythms, and celebrate the promise of returning light.

And somewhere along the way, haven’t we lost a little of that wonder?

We enter the holiday season with beautiful intentions, but before we know it, the days have flown by and the magic has passed us by.

What if this year could be different?

This December, join us on the coast of Maine for an intimate, enchanted winter gathering inspired by the folklore and traditions of Yule.

Through candlelight, warm spiced wassail, winter woods, yoga, seasonal rituals, creativity, rest, and meaningful connection, we’ll make space to rediscover the wonder of the season.

A little folklore. A little mystery. A little magic.

Because perhaps the magic of the season isn’t something we need to create. We simply need to slow down long enough to notice.

*This signature retreat is for women.
