Winter STILLNESS retreat
It was New Years 2025, with an amazing crew of friends, cross country skiing. We were skiing in the dark, on an absolutely still night, with giant snowflakes floating, slowly to the ground. It was serene and sometimes silly.
​
As I listened to the sounds of the fresh snow, crunching under my skis, and found the cross-line rhythm between my arms and legs, I realized the organically somatic nature of the movement. It felt like the trees and the earth beneath my feet were whispering to my imagination about this retreat.
These whispers started just over two years ago and they haven't stopped, yet that night was particularly special. I had recently done my Capricorn New Moon Vision session, so I was already exploring my visionary mind. When I imagined bringing everyone out here for a retreat, tears rolled down my cheeks, mirroring the silent profundity of the snowflakes and a smile grew from ear to ear. It was a full body f*ck YES! I HAD to do something about it. And that's the moment these retreats were born.
What's the PLAN?
We're going to do yoga + yoga nidra, talk astrology, sit in the sauna & play in the snow.
​
You don't have to be a skier or a snowboarder to come. We have incredible, accessible nordic trails that anyone can traverse. And, I'm planning to include one x-country ski lesson as part of the retreat.
Nature is the truest, most profound way to unravel the nervous system. The frequency of Mother Earth. The light wave information from the sun. The rhythms of the day. Whole, organic foods. Good company. Movement, Yoga Nidra and aligning with the stars - these all support your alignment with nature, inside and out.
Winter has a special kind of stillness to it. The sparkles of the snow look like magic. It's awe-inspiring. Especially in the mountains and trees.
We'll start each day with a 75 min practice, a hearty breakfast and then adventure into nature for the day. The ski hill is outside the range of wifi which is beneficial to feel your bodymind beyond those frequencies while getting a much more clear transmission from nature.
​
You get to choose how you would like to play outside. Downhill skiing**, snowboarding** or x-country (nordic) skiing**. You can even mix it up (I probably will)! X-country is considerably softer on the pocket book!
If you want a lesson in any of these options, that can be arranged. I'm hoping that there are enough people who want to explore x-country skiing that we can have a group lesson with one of my favourite people here who is a coach. Last year I did one with him and he handled various levels like a champ! I learned a LOT from him! The first group lesson with him is included in the retreat fee!
After the day out in nature, we all come back into town at night for amazing dinners and evening Yin + Yoga Nidra practices.
​
I've rented out an entire boutique hotel in town for us and am bringing in a private chef. We're sourcing local and organic foods to craft your meals. The beds are super comfy, hotel has a sauna and a roof top hot tub for us to enjoy.​
