Join us for a 4-hour Winter Solstice Day Retreat celebration as we honour the darkest day of the year and welcome the return of light. This immersive afternoon weaves together ancient ritual, mindful movement, and healing sound to support your journey inward during this powerful seasonal threshold.
✨ Create your own ritual oil
Immerse yourself in a hands-on, sensory workshop with Desiree Diaz under the potent energy of the Winter Solstice. Learn to craft your own ritual oil by combining sacred oils, crystallized intentions, and ancient magick. This grounding and creative practice will support you in setting powerful energetic intentions for the return of light.
You'll leave with your own unique ritual oil to carry the essence of solstice medicine into the new solar year.
About Desiree: A witch, conjurer, shamanic practitioner, and energy healer, Desiree creates sacred spaces for you to feel held and experience magick safely. With over 30 years of tarot experience and a lifelong practice, her healing work and ritual products have been featured in Forbes, Glamour, and Dazed.
☕ TEA & CONNECTION Enjoy warming winter tea and light refreshments while integrating the energy of your ritual oil creation.
🧘♀️ Winter Flow Yoga
A nourishing yoga practice led by Sam, designed to honor the introspective energy of the winter solstice. Through grounding asanas, restorative holds, and guided meditation, we'll explore themes of release, rest, and inner illumination - honoring the wisdom of darkness while planting seeds for the returning light.
🎶 Sound bath
Surrender into a deeply restorative sound bath featuring crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other healing instruments. Allow the vibrational frequencies to wash over you, releasing what no longer serves and attuning to the rebirth energy of the solstice.
