Embracing the Wheel of the Year: A 2025 Retreat Series for Seasonal Wellness

Discover the Magic of the Seasons

The Seasonal cycle of the year is created by the Earth’s annual orbit around the Sun. Solstices are the extreme points as Earth’s axis tilts towards or away from the sun. This is when the days and nights are the shortest or the longest. The celebration of these times are universal and seasonal celebrations of most cultures are around these same natural turning points. The Wheel of the Year recognizes the cyclical nature of life. It is a journey through the seasons. Each of the eight Sabbats – Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lughnasadh, Mabon, Samhain, and Yule – marks a significant turning point in the natural world.

In 2025, there will be a series of Monday retreats designed to honor these sacred seasonal times. Each retreat will provide a space for women to connect with their inner selves, nurture their bodies and minds within a supportive circle of women.

This year-long series is designed to provide you with a deep and meaningful community experience. This unique series invites you to explore the rhythms of nature and cultivate a deeper connection within yourself and the world around you.
