Wild Women Wintering

a sensuous, earth-centered invitation to connect with the wisdom of winter, darkness, and the wild feminine

November 11, 2026 - February 17, 2027, online (on zoom)

*for people of all genders with lived experience of womanhood, in all its forms.

Wild Women Wintering is a course, a circle, a journey - a space for resting and holding each other through winter. 

A journey of eight gatherings, guided by eight plant allies and practices to nurture you through the weeks in between. Each gathering is dedicated to a different theme, and each plant offers their medicine to help us explore the theme — from creating the sanctuary with linden, to descending into the dark with cedar, to tending the inner fire with cranberry.

Dates and gatherings

All gatherings take place on Wednesdays, 18.00 - 20.30 CET.

We will meet every other week, with a longer break over the Winter Solstice and New Year time.

What you can expect

  • You will be held by a container lovingly and skillfully created by me and the plants.

  • A package will arrive at your door before we begin — with all the plants and materials for each gathering.

  • We gather on zoom so that you can join from the comfort of your home, but the experience is built to be sensuous, alive, and as analogue as possible while on zoom.

  • We will sing, move, dream, craft, share and listen to stories, connecting with winter and her teachings.

  • You will meet anew (or reconnec) with generous plant allies who offer many gifts to guide your path — and keep working with each one in the weeks between gatherings in your own rhythm.

  • This journey is both poetic and practical - you will receive an array of invitations and tools for deep rest, listening to your body, and connecting with plants and land that will stay with you beyond the course.

What might happen

  • You might walk away with a renewed sense of possibility and a rekindled inner flame.

  • You might find this wintertime to feel more gentle on your soul than others have. 

  • You might discover new trust in your intuition and sensory knowing and seeds of clarity for what wishes to emerge next.

Testimonials

The first edition of the journey took place in Winter 2025 - 2026. Here is some of what people said about it:

“Imagine a vessel you retreat to when the days are at their shortest. Imagine to explore inner worlds, depths, dreams, rest, weaving with others guided by plants — a winter sanctuary.”

"This was such a wonderful warm and safe space to explore myself through the framework of wisdom of nature and womanhoods. Liene created a ritual that felt deeply resonant and safe to show up in authentically."

"Do it and join! It is a super safe and inspiring journey. Liene and the plants are the most amazing facilitators. One of the most meaningful 'activities' I have done for a long time."

"It is a unique opportunity to do this in an environment created to hold space for you. An extraordinary gift to yourself. You will not regret it."

"Trust Liene, yourself, the space, the others. Gifts will float your way."

“The biggest gift was the deep awareness that all flowering is mutual and that for something to spring out, one needs to winter."

Why this, why now?

Last year I opened this invitation like this: "I am smiling in the picture but in all honesty - I feel heartbroken right now (… ) I am also heartbroken by directly experiencing the way western hyperindividualism and privilege obstructs care for one another even in feminist circles. And then there are the wars, and the genocides, and all the other catastrophes. (…) And the dark months of winter in the North are approaching.”

A year has passed. The particular sorrows have shifted, and yet somehow they are also the same still. I could write it again today and only change the names. And at the same time, a lot has also shifted, and especially in how I am looking at the darkness and the winter. Last winter, the circle brought soooo much wisdom, depth, care, love. It transformed how I winter. And I want to offer that again.

This time online, so it can reach those I care about who are far from Aarhus, with the plants travelling to you by post.

This is heart work. A sprout of hope reminding that even when (and maybe especially when) the world feels fractured, we can weave webs of resilience, solidarity, and care. In rhythm with winter and darkness, in kinship with plants and one another, and with tenderness for what is still becoming.

Will you join?

Yes, I am in!
