Yuletide & Unwind: Winter Wellness With Colour Therapy, Meditation & Crafts

Step away from the hustle of modern Christmas and rediscover the ancient roots of the season. In this two-hour immersive experience, Rachel will guide you through a journey of relaxation, creativity, and sensory renewal inspired by the original spirit of Yuletide.

What to Expect:

Explore the ancestral meaning of Yuletide—long before Christmas traditions took hold.

Enjoy calming guided meditations, expressive colour therapy, and creative crafting that honour the themes of light, abundance, and renewal.

Reflect on common seasonal stressors and learn practical techniques to ease tension and restore balance.

Indulge your senses with the comforting scents of Christmas as you create your own sensory stress-relief jar using aromatherapy oils and familiar festive fragrances.

Whether you're seeking peace, inspiration, or a deeper connection to the season, this workshop offers a nurturing space to relax, learn, and create.
