Seasonal Sanctuary - Women’s Day Retreat to Welcome Winter

Over dit evenement

𖤓 Winter in the Netherlands can feel long, dark, and heavy. Yet beneath the stillness, this season offers a powerful invitation to rest, integrate, and be nourished from within 𖤓

On the 6th of December, we invite you to step into the cocoon with us for a one-day women’s retreat to welcome the arrival of winter. Together, we’ll honour this season of introspection, slow down after the movement of the year, and create space to integrate what has been lived before turning toward rest.

Through ritual, breath, and sisterhood, we soften into the darker months, listening inwardly, tending to our nervous systems, and allowing the year to gently settle in the body.

What to expect:
꩜ A soft landing with cacao, meditation & sharing
꩜ Breathwork session to open and release
꩜ A nourishing organic lunch
꩜ Creative integration ritual for the year
꩜ Cocooning ceremony for deep rest
꩜ Live music, tea and snacks

This day is for women who wish to slow down, reflect, and enter winter with warmth, ritual, and care.

𓆃 Seasonal Sanctuary 2026
This day retreat is part of a cycle of four gatherings, each one honouring the turning of the seasons. You are welcome to join us for a single day that calls to you, or to commit to the full journey and ritualise your passage through the seasons across the year.

Moving through spring, summer, autumn and winter together allows space for continuity, deepening, and relationship with yourself, with the group, and with the natural rhythms that hold us. Each gathering stands on its own, while also connecting into a larger story of cyclical living.

𓆃 About the location:
The Nieuwe Plek is a hidden sanctuary in the middle of the forest in Zeist. With its serene indoor spaces surrounded by forest, it offers a unique oasis of peace. A place to reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with each other.
