Emerging From Winter
A warm, late-winter overnight gathering to gently emerge from hibernation
Held in a heated yurt, surrounded by care and community.
Emerging From Winter is a late-winter overnight gathering designed to be warm, gentle, and deeply nourishing, even in the heart of the cold season. This is not a weekend of pushing through winter. It’s an invitation to rest, reflect, and slowly begin to sense what’s ready to re-emerge.
We’ll spend our time together primarily in a heated yurt, wrapped in warmth, tea, and shared presence. Outdoor time is minimal, optional, and approached slowly, with care for comfort and safety. The focus is not on enduring the cold, but on being held by the space, the practices, and the community.
Through breathwork, story, simple ceremony, shared meals, and restful sleep together, we’ll take a quiet inventory of what has shifted through the winter months and begin to feel into what’s ready to awaken as we move toward the Spring Equinox.
If you’ve been craving connection, grounding, and renewal but feel unsure about winter conditions, this gathering was created with you in mind. You’ll be warm, supported, and never asked to push beyond your comfort.
Come rest. Come breathe. Come begin to wake up again, together.
