Enter the Stillpoint, Awaken Your Dream Seeds, Step Into 2026 with Clarity

December 19, 3pm – December 21, 1:30pm

EARLY BIRD PRICING ‘TIL: DEC 02 | REGISTRATION CLOSES: DEC 09

It’s been another intense year, hasn’t it? The pace, the pressures, the noise of it all!

And while you’ve been trying to catch moments to realign and tend to your inner world, it’s likely that the world keeps asking more of you.

That’s why the Solstice matters!

Winter Solstice is the stillpoint of the year, a portal of renewal where darkness and light meet. In this pause, nature rests, resets, and prepares for the return of the sun.

For us too, this stillness is medicine. It calls us to stop and take stock. To release what no longer serves, reflect on the year we have lived, and listen for where our soul is calling us next.

Winter Solstice was also recognised as a potent threshold for our Ancestors. It was a time to consult the spirits through divination, to seek guidance, and to align their lives with the greater cycles of nature. A time where vision was clarified and the sacred seeds of the future are stirred awake ready to be nurtured and manifested in the year ahead.

Join us this Solstice to pause at the stillpoint, connect with Ancestral ways, receive guidance, and step into the new year aligned with the light of your soul.

WHAT THIS RETREAT OFFERS

Studies show that meaningful connection increases vitality and resilience by 50 percent, and that time in nature significantly boosts mental health. Both are at the heart of this Winter Solstice retreat.

This retreat is designed to help you step away from the noise and reset. To step into the mystery of the longest night of the year and realign with your soul and the rhythm of nature.

Through ceremonies with forest-cacao, rapéh (sacred tobacco), fire, and ancestral divination, you’ll be supported to release what no longer serves and welcome in the seeds of sacred vision for 2026.

You can expect to leave with:

• A lighter heart and nervous system reset

• Clear guidance from your soul, ancestors, and spirit allies

• A deep sense of belonging and renewal from ceremony and community
