Reconnect With the Ancient Rhythms of the Season – December 7th, 2024

You are invited to deepen your connection with the sacred wisdom of winter at the Winter Rewilding Retreat at The Whidbey Institute on Whidbey Island (Tscha-kole-chy) on Saturday, December 7, 2024. This immersive day-long retreat is a powerful opportunity to align with the sacred wisdom of the season, drawing upon the element of Air, the grounding presence of the North, and the sacred bioregion of the Mountains as ways to navigate our own soul lives.

Winter offers us a time to turn inward, listen deeply, and connect with the stillness of nature. By engaging in rewilding practices, you’ll explore the archetypal wisdom of the Crone/Elder, allowing nature’s cycles to guide you into the quieter rhythms of this season. We’ll work with the Rewilding Wheel, gaining insights from the season of Winter, the North’s wisdom of stillness and clarity, and the transformative energy of Air.

Throughout the day, you’ll participate in:

• Wild wanders in the nature-rich surroundings
• A reflective labyrinth walk
• Co-creation of a community mandala
• Nature-based spiritual practices to attune to the season

This retreat is a chance to deepen your relationship with the natural world and with yourself as we move into winter’s sacred space. An organic breakfast, lunch, and afternoon refreshments are provided to nourish your body as you nourish your spirit. Doors open at 8:30 AM, with the retreat running from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Reconnect with the ancient rhythms of the season, providing space for reflection and renewal. We hope you join us for this sacred gathering!
