To Winter

winter gathering + retreat + immersive experience:

a time for ritual & remembrance

Created with love by Medicine for the Modern Soul


January 26th-29th, 2023


We are calling in 15 beautiful humans (YOU!) to join us January 26-29th, 2023 in NW Montana for an all inclusive 4 day gathering, retreat, and immersive experience for the heart, body, & soul. A time for ritual & remembrance.

If you’ve joined us before, you know the potency + impact these experiences have on our souls. They stir an aliveness in us that we all need in one way or another. 

We have created an experience that we wholeheartedly believe in – one that our souls crave – a place to land, to belong, to be seen, to be witnessed, to be regarded, to laugh, to grieve, to breathe, to move, to play, to celebrate, and to be deeply held through one’s expansions and contractions. This is what life is about afterall. 

In general, our gatherings + retreats support us to move into deeper intimacy with self, community, and mama Earth (nature) – individually and collectively. You see, we both heal + find our most whole selves in community, in circle, in ceremony, in gathering together to share our humanness. Each time we share our truth with ones who feel safe to us, we gain the capacity to turn the same lens of compassion towards ourselves - integrating all parts of ourselves – living into our humanness more fully. 

These experiences hit our hearts a little differently than most. They are a place to explore who you are, and how to belong to yourself so you can find deeper belonging with others – rewriting our stories of connection. They are a place to cultivate trust in yourself, in your path – reminding yourself that, “ I got this, I matter, I am held, I am loved, and my medicine in the world is oh so important.” 

For this particular retreat, we’re going a little deeper. 

To be honest, Winter retreats in Montana are our favorite. It is a magical + soulful + natural time to gather in community + go inwards. And if you’ve been to Montana (especially to Dancing Spirit Ranch) you know the beauty that this time + place holds. 

Think candlelit spaces, a blanket of snow, gathering around fires, all things cozy, outdoor sauna time, quality connection, laidback +luxe cabin vibes, tending to mind + body + soul, and warm nourishing home-cooked meals (with love).

Winter is one of the most important times to tend to self. In primitive times, daily life shifted in the winter – time was spent gathering with community + loved ones, sitting around a fire, sharing stories + ancient wisdom, creating, drumming, singing, hibernating, playing, and sharing nourishing meals. Souls get to be nurtured in the winter and expressed during spring and summer

As the snow falls + our attention inwards, we can find the pause at the bottom of a deep exhale.

Winter invites us to slow down + reflect + store up. May this be a space of collective pause, ease, connection, and recalibration.

Community

We are asking you to join us in a collective shift.

When we surround ourselves with other women who are connecting with their sacred gifts/callings, and honoring their deepest truth, it is safer to peel back the layers and shed the stories that are no longer serving our wise, wild and whole selves.

Each of us holds so much medicine in our cells, our stories, and in our presence. Through this container we are calling in women to reclaim the wise woman and medicine woman in us all. To unlock sacred truths that are deep within our cells. To learn. To heal. To support and celebrate other women. To honor, capture, and embody what it really means to be alive. And to join in sacred community as we navigate the complexities of being human and to heal individual, collective, and generational wounding. One thing we know for sure is that sacred community is the medicine.
