Opening Ceremony (10-10:30am)

Meet your fellow retreat goers and healing facilitator for the day. Jenny will provide an overview of the day, set intentions and create a sacred space for all to learn, explore, and heal on the soul level. Bring an open mind and allow yourself to journey within through the planned experiences and activities. Learn how to celebrate your light.  Sound clearing and sacred smoke may be used in the ceremony.

*Guests will receive a small journal for reflecting/recording their experiences throughout the day along with optional journal prompts.

The Winter Labyrinth (10:30-12:00pm)

Labyrinths are tools for personal, psychological, and spiritual transformation.  The winter labyrinth integrates the body with the mind and spirit. Learn how to create and utilize labyrinths throughout all seasons using breath and movement.  Learn about releasing, receiving, and returning to our highest self. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our center of light and how we can carry that light back again out into the world.

Lunch (12-1pm) Provided onsite at Alchemy Speakeasy

Enjoy a gourmet lunch at the Alchemy Speakeasy! Get to know the group, walk the forest paths, or relax indoors.

Yule Wreath or Yule Glass Ball (1-2:00pm)

Create a beautiful Yule wreath to celebrate the winter solstice, rebirth, and new beginnings.  Weave and create a beautiful symbol of intention, light, and love.  Or create a Yule Ball with intention, herbs, moss, crystals, dried flowers, and ribbon to hang in your home or on the Yule tree. Yule Balls are a way to refresh the energy within your home as the wheel turns, and to be aware of what energies we invite inside.

Shadow Work Internal Alchemy & Transformation (2:00-3:30pm)

In this workshop, you will learn about your shadow self’s influence on the subconscious.  Learn how to explore and integrate these hidden parts to create more harmony, inner peace, and become your more authentic self.  Take part in exercises and guided visualizations to gain a deeper understanding of how past wounds, limiting beliefs, fears, and negative self-talk impact you.  Learn how to celebrate your light and allow space for deep healing.

Closing Fire Ceremony (3:30-4:30pm) A Celebration of Light

Guests will return to the present after a day of learning and exploring their inner selves. Jenny will lead a fire ceremony to release any patterns, beliefs, or energy that no longer serves us. We will close our sacred space, integrate the lessons of the day, and identify ways we can continue to celebrate the light of the season and share our light with the world.   Guests will be able to transfer this knowledge into their daily practices.
