Let Go. Shed. Rebirth. Dream.
Join us for a transformative day of renewal and reflection, as we enter the Chinese year of the Wood Snake and the Celtic energy of Imbolc. This retreat is an invitation to release what no longer serves, cultivate gratitude for 2024, and dream into the possibilities of 2025.
