Wild Women Wintering (fully booked)
an embodied, earth-centered invitation to connect with the wisdom of winter, darkness, and the wild feminine
November 27 - January 29, Aarhus, Institut for (X)
* for people with lived experience of womanhood, beyond binary gender identities.
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. There will be a break between December 18 and January 8, the Yule-time, for which you will receive invitations for independent practice.
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 stories, and spend time both indoors and outdoors - 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 may happen
You may walk away with a renewed sense of possibility and a rekindled inner flame.
You may find this wintertime to be more gentle than others.
You may deepen your connections - with others, with the land, and with yourself.
You may discover new trust in your intuition and seeds of clarity for what wishes to emerge next.

Testimonials
This is the first edition of the wintering journey. But it is inspired by a 7-week spring course titled Wild Women Rising that I offered in 2023. While the practices and structure of these two courses are different, the core values, intentions, and my approach as a facilitator are similar - to nurture authentic connection with the wild feminine, to remember our cyclical nature, and to explore what it means to live and create from that place.
This is what the spring edition participants shared about their experience:
“I’m leaving with SO much. A wholeness in believing that we are connected to the earth and each other - that we are synergy. And the courage to trust my instincts and wild womanhood more.”
“I value the space we created together so much - the connection with nature and womanhood. The practices moved something deep within me, which I am not quite yet able to grasp, but I feel something sprouting.”
“Having a weekly space to enter, no matter what the week would bring, allowed me to surrender to being offline, to reflect and explore. In a world that moves so fast, this felt almost revolutionary.”
“You are incredible at holding spaces - kind, structured, deeply inclusive, deeply human. I felt safe and held all the way and I loved how you are able to meet everyone where they are at. I honestly never experienced a “room” being held with such care and depth. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!.”
“I walk away feeling more connected to myself, indeed more wild :).”
“I loved the big variation in practices, places, and tempos - and that we could truly be ourselves: talk, laugh, express freely, without dogmas or judgment.”
Why this, why now?
I am smiling in the picture but in all honesty - I feel heartbroken right now. As I am writing this, Latvian government has made a decision that will inflict further violence on women in a country with already ones of the highest domestic violence rates. There are also decisions being pushed regularly for accelerated destruction of forests. And these decisions are not separate. Violence against women and violence against land have always been connected.
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 catastrophies.
The picture is already dark and the dark months of winter in the North are approaching.
In times like this the only thing that makes sense to me is to gather community, connect with the wisdom of the Earth, and do what I do best - hold spaces - strong, real, deep ones.
This is heart work. This is the soil Wild Women Wintering grows from. 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. This time in rhythm with winter, in kinship with plants, and with tenderness for what is still becoming.
