Wild Women Wintering

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

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

A journey of eight in-person gatherings and independent practices for the Yule-time. Each of the eight gatherings is dedicated to a different theme and guided by a plant or tree (Linden, Hawthorn, Cedar, Juniper, Mugwort, St.John’s Wort, Cranberry, Fireweed.

First edition took place in winter of 2025-2026 gathering 14 particpants. Next one will be hosted in November 2026 - January 2027. More info in early autumn.

What you can expect

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

  • We will lean in,  listen, connect with plants and trees, ourselves, and each other. 

  • This journey is both poetic and very 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. 

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

  • You will meet anew, or reconnect with, generous plant allies who offer many gifts to guide your path.

  • You will also have the opportunity to continue working with each plant between sessions, as you will receive them as a tea or smudge to explore in your own rhythm.

  • Each session will invite you to slow down, root deeper, and remember that you belong to the living world.

What might happen

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

  • You might find this wintertime to be more gentle than others. 

  • You might deepen your connections - with others, with the land, and with yourself.

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