Over dit evenement

Between the Seasons: Honoring the Shift into Autumn
A Shamanic Half-Day Retreat for Women

As we approach the Autumn Equinox on September 22nd, we begin the sacred transition from Summer into Autumn, from Yang to Yin, from outward expression to inward reflection.

To honor this seasonal turning point on the Wheel of the Year, you are warmly invited to the first edition of Between the Seasons, a soulful, half-day retreat for women, rooted in nature, stillness, and deep inner connection.

Together, we’ll explore themes of slowing down, letting go, rebalancing, and preparing for the inward spiral of the darker months. This is a space to pause, listen, and realign, with the Earth and with your own inner rhythm.

This moment between the seasons holds a quiet kind of magic, a chance to root more deeply before the world begins to shift again.

What to expect on this day:
𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
- Opening & Welcome
- Cacao ceremony and gentle movement to arrive in your body
- Shamanic journey 1: meet your Spirit Animal
- Shamanic journey 2: harvest season
- Time outside in nature
- Returning & short sharing
- Break: tea & snacks

𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐧
- Breathwork and sound healing for deep release

✨ Come as you are, and leave feeling nourished, rebalanced, and gently realigned with your path.
