Fall into Hibernation: A one day forest retreat

Embrace the Stillness. Reconnect with Yourself.
As the seasons shift, nature invites us to pause, reflect, and restore. If you’re craving a deeper sense of calm and connection but find it hard to step away from the daily grind, this retreat is for you.

Location
Nestled in the tranquil beauty of Nurtured Minds Retreat by Wizard Lake, this one-day forest retreat will help you reconnect with your natural rhythm. It’s a day dedicated to slowing down, honoring where you’re at, and giving yourself the space to simply be.

You deserve a day where you can fully unplug from your responsibilities and tune into the wisdom of the seasons. This retreat is thoughtfully designed to guide you through a process of mindful slowing down—releasing tension and welcoming rest.

What You’ll Experience

• Grounding Meditation: Ease into the day with a gentle meditation to help you land in the present moment.
• Gentle Movement + Stretch: Flow through slow, mindful movements to release any stress and invite softness into your body.
• Reflections on Slowing Down: Engage in heart-centered discussions, exploring how to honor your own needs and create balance, even in a fast-paced world.
• Nervous System Support for Winter: Learn how to work with your body’s natural rhythms as we transition into the winter months, nourishing your nervous system for deep rest and renewal.

There is profound wisdom in nature’s cycles, and winter invites us to rest deeply. This retreat will help you reconnect with those natural rhythms—offering gentle guidance to slow down, let go, and make space for what truly matters.

This is your opportunity to pause, breathe, and restore—so you can move forward with clarity and ease. Space is limited, and spots are filling quickly. We’d love to have you join us for this nurturing day in the forest.
