Sacred Sites ~ Pilgrimage ~ Ritual around Winter Solstice to connect with ancestors, land, body ✨

Lean into the support of stone + bone in this lovingly created day pilgrimage to resource, inspire and strengthen our spirit as we move into the belly of winter with direction and intention. The ancient foundation of stone + bone speaks to the wisdom of our ancestors, the earth and the truth our body knows… the structure of the temple, the sacred container.

During this day we’ll connect deeply with both inner landscape of the skeletal structure and outer landscapes of stone, visiting sacred sites including West Kennet Long Barrow and Avebury henge, and share ritual and pilgrimage together.

As well as exploration of this potent energetic place we’ll share meditation, guided ceremony, journaling and dive deeper into the medicine of stone energy through an innerdance somatic sound journey inspired by the land, held indoors in a beautiful space within the henge with a view of the stones.

🪨 Who is this for?

This retreat is for women standing at a threshold navigating change - whether that’s grief, a shift in identity, a relationship transition, creative emergence, or an internal reckoning that doesn’t yet have language. It’s for those who feel the seasons in their body or would like to welcome them in. Those who are yearning to connect with themselves and lean into the ancestral support of the land a little deeper, in both new and familiar landscapes. Those with the courage to let their soft animal body love what it loves, and let curiosity lead. Those who want to connect with soft animal body and the rich wisdom of the land we inhabit.

If you feel the quiet pull of body and land, the call to step out of the noise of everyday life and listen a little more closely, this day is for you.

Held in the ancient embrace of Avebury Stone Circle, this pilgrimage is an invitation to slow down, remember what steadies you, and root into the deeper rhythms that continue beneath the surface of change. Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the circle intimate. If you feel drawn, trust that feeling ~ the land has a way of gathering the right people together.
