The Way of the Happy Woman Winter Day Retreat

January 9, 2027 9AM-3PM

This is the second of a four-part seasonal retreat series designed to support you throughout the year. (Don’t worry if you can’t make this one. You’re welcome to join us for any of the remaining seasons!) Inspired by Sara Avant Stover’s The Way of the Happy Woman, this one-day retreat offers a chance to step away from the pace of everyday life and reconnect with yourself and with the rhythm of the season.

Winter invites us to slow down, turn inward, and make room for rest. While the world outside grows quiet, we can take a cue from nature and allow ourselves time to replenish, reflect, and reconnect. Rather than pushing through the season, we’ll explore how to embrace its quieter rhythms and nourish ourselves through the colder months.

Your retreat includes:

  • A copy of The Way of the Happy Woman by Sara Avant Stover for those new to the retreat series

  • A journal for reflection

  • Gentle yoga and meditation

  • A seasonal creative activity

  • Guided forest therapy (weather permitting)

  • Nourishing seasonal lunch

  • Tea, coffee, and seasonal treats throughout the day

  • A seasonal ritual to welcome winter and honor what you need in this season of your life

Feel like you’ve traveled far away while staying close to home!

Your day away: $200

Returning retreat participants receive 10% off ($180) as a thank-you for continuing the seasonal journey with us.

Leave feeling replenished, and a little more connected to yourself and the quiet wisdom of the season.

This retreat will be held at a private residence in Evanston, IL. The address will be provided upon registration.
