The Art of Wintering: A Nourishing One-Day Retreat

This June, you’re invited to join Kara and Kristina*… to pause and exhale at our one-day The Art of Wintering retreat —a deeply nourishing and restorative experience designed to help you gather and ground – to disconnect from the pace of daily life and reconnect with your essence.

Winter, in nature, is a season of rest, reflection, and quiet renewal. This retreat honours that. Through a thoughtful program of group coaching, Qi Gong, gentle movement therapy and sound bathing, you’ll be guided back into stillness, clarity, and intention. You’ll also be nourished by warming, wholesome vegetarian foods, herbal teas, and nutritious snacks, designed to support body and spirit.

This is a day to slow down, to gather with like-hearted people in a space of warmth and connection, and to gently reorient yourself toward the life you’re consciously creating. Whether you’re feeling burnt out, disconnected, or simply craving time to recalibrate, this retreat offers you space to reflect on where you are, reconnect with your values, and plant seeds for the seasons ahead.

Let this be your invitation to winter well—with intention, care, and community.

And if you are looking to end this special day with total reinvigoration, feel welcome to stay back on site and join us for a complimentary infra-red sauna and ice-bath experience to ignite your total being.

*READ MORE ABOUT YOUR HOSTS FOR THE DAY:

About Kara...
I am a holistic and professional life coach with a deep, whole-hearted commitment to helping people live and work in alignment with their truth, potential, and purpose.

My approach is heart-led, inclusive, and practical—supporting the whole person, not just the problem. Grounded in proven coaching methodologies (solutions-focused and neuro-linguistic programming), I also draw on a deep understanding of human behaviour, systems, and lived experience to create a space for meaningful, sustainable change.

I believe transformation begins within, and my work is rooted in empowering individuals to navigate life with greater clarity, confidence, and compassion. I look forward to supporting you as you move along your own journey.

About Kristina...
A lifelong seeker, I've wandered off the beaten path, chasing echoes of belonging. Seven quiet years as a hermit taught me to honour the uniqueness of every journey and to find light even in suffering. Illusion dissolves, pain transforms, and in that alchemy, we remember how to walk each other home.

Drawn to the unseen, I’ve long been a student of subtle energies—tuning into the wisdom of the body, the higher self, and the living intelligence in all forms of life. Since 2012, I’ve practiced and now teach Zhong Yuan Qigong under the loving guidance of Grandmaster Xu Mingtang. I also hold a deep love for the spiritual essence of herbs—studying their subtle effects and transforming that knowledge into heartfelt creations that support healing and connection.

There are no coincidences—only sacred meetings. If our paths are meant to cross, I look forward to meeting you, beautiful soul.
