A Winter Retreat Celebrating Ritual, Rest & Connection

February 5–6, 2027 | Bend, Oregon An intimate, two-day experience | $450 per person

Winter invites us to slow down.

As the days grow shorter and the natural world settles into a quieter rhythm, we have an opportunity to do the same. To rest, turn inward, spend time with the people we love, and appreciate the beauty of a season that asks a little less of us.

Yet it's easy to spend winter wishing for longer days, warmer weather, and the next season to arrive.

What if, instead, we celebrated winter for what it offers?

Honoring the Darkness is a two-day experiential retreat celebrating the quiet beauty of winter through rest, intentional connection, and personally meaningful ritual and ceremony.

In a small, thoughtfully held group, we'll explore how humans have used ritual and ceremony for thousands of years to mark transitions, celebrate life, honor loss, strengthen community, and connect with something greater than themselves.

Through somatic practices, nature connection, creative expression, shared meals, and intentional conversation, we'll make space to appreciate the season we're in and reconnect with our bodies, our relationships, and the natural world.

This retreat is an invitation to experience winter differently. To enjoy the stillness, nourish ourselves, and gather with others in a way that feels warm, meaningful, and unhurried.
