Wintering Well

As the days grow shorter and the natural world begins drawing its energy inward, we are invited to do the same. Above ground, growth slows, and winter creates space for rest, reflection and tending what lies beneath the surface.

In this three-hour immersion, we’ll explore what it means to transition into winter consciously: staying grounded and vital while honoring the body’s natural desire to slow down.

We’ll begin with gentle yoga and pranayama to warm the body and cultivate steadiness in the nervous system.

Mina will share simple practices for seasonal self-care from Ayurveda and the Wise Woman herbal tradition, including herbal body oiling and other techniques for supporting lymphatic health and immune resilience.

Then we’ll shift into inquiry, cups of warming herbal tea in hand. Winter has long been a season for taking stock of what thrived, what didn’t and what we might plant differently in the year ahead. We can approach our own lives in the same way.

Through journaling and conversation, Michelle will guide us in a process of noticing, discerning and choosing. You’ll create a personal Winter Declaration—a clear, anchoring statement to carry you through the season.

We’ll close with a long, gooey deep stretch and restorative practice with sound healing, letting the body soften, settle and receive the medicine of deep rest.
