About This Event

The Wintering Sanctuary is set for 5 December 2026 at St Matthew's Wellness Centre in Prudhoe. This event encourages participants to embrace the winter season by slowing down and finding warmth in a communal setting.

Step out of the cold and into the warmth of the sanctuary.

Winter is an invitation to slow down, soften your edges, and listen to the quiet.

Step out of the cold and into the warmth of the sanctuary.

Winter is an invitation to slow down, soften your edges, and listen to the quiet magic that only reveals itself in stillness. The Wintering Sanctuary is a tender, deeply restorative six-hour retreat designed to nurture your nervous system, rekindle your intuitive gifts, and bring you home to yourself.

Rather than pushing forward or fighting the dark, we honor the ancient wisdom of wintering—resting deeply, drinking warm medicine, and reconnecting with the playful, untamed, and intuitive part of your soul.

What Awaits You Inside the Sanctuary:

Cosy Ceremonial Cacao & Opening Circle: Settle in with a warm, heart-opening cup of ethically sourced ceremonial cacao. We will drink together with clear intention, warming our bodies from the inside out and softening into sacred community.

Gentle Wintering Meditation: A guided somatic journey into deep rest. Learn how to align your nervous system with winter’s natural rhythm—shedding seasonal fatigue, releasing tension, and finding comfort in the quiet dark.

Divination Workshop (Crafting Your Personal Practice): Demystify the art of reading the unseen. We will explore how to work with signs, symbols, cards, and natural elements, giving you the practical tools and intuitive confidence to build your own daily or seasonal divination ritual at home.

Inner Journey: Reconnecting with the Magical Child: Enter a safe, guided visualization to meet your inner magical child—the keeper of your wonder, creative spark, innocence, and direct spiritual knowing. Reclaim this bond to bring lightness and trust back into your everyday life.

Immersion Gong Bath & Sound Healing: Wrap up in your softest blankets and lie back as oceanic waves of gongs, singing bowls, and grounding instruments wash over you, clearing energetic residue and integrating the day’s medicine.

Who Is This For?

This retreat is open to anyone feeling called to rest, reconnect, and play. Whether you are completely new to cacao and sound baths or have an established spiritual practice, you will be met with warmth and care.

What’s Included:

6 hours of held, gentle space and guided teachings

A full ceremonial cup of warming cacao

A practical guide to building your own home divination practice

Nourishing seasonal snacks and warming herbal teas throughout the afternoon

Spaces are strictly limited to preserve a cosy, intimate circle.
