ROOTING Retreat

27th December 2026 - 3rd January 2027
Colombières-sur-orb, France

from €550.00

This week-long retreat around New Year is a time of slow emergence from winter, a chance to pause, find your bearings, and connect with the values that will nourish your soul for the year ahead.

In this descent of winter, we invite you to explore: 

  • Restful practices to take back into your life such as: the purposeful pause, napping, stillness and creating spaciousness.

  • A time of silence and fasting.

  • Processes that support you to reflect on your Roots: what you belong to, what you want to nurture, what you want to compost, held within intentional spaces, such as ritual and spell-work.

  • Methods of connecting to the potency of Dreaming and Visioning.

This week is for you if: 

  • You want to learn how to slow down or stop, rest and surrender.

  • You are feeling burnt out or run down, and long for a cocoon.

  • You want to connect with your fundamental values or vision in a new way.

  • You want a peaceful week for yourself after all the busy-ness of the festive season.

  • You want to learn the art of wintering and a warm hearth.

  • In an intimate group of up to eight, we will take time sit in circle, share nourishing home-cooked meals, and spend time in nature.

    This phase of the cycle is reflected in the dark moon, menstrual blood, wintering, the initiation of death and rebirth, our ancestors, dreaming and the way of the soil and roots.

    • restful practices to take back into your life
