Wintering Within: Daylong Hygge Away Retreat
During this special one day retreat and reset, we’ll gather together with the goal of ‘wintering’ or rather, intentionally slowing down and creating space for rest and reflection. The process of wintering invites you to find balance between solitude and connection – while gathering strength for the future.
Together, we’ll learn about the concept of wintering and radical acceptance, whether that’s the actual cold, dark season or a season in your life. By navigating these challenging “dark seasons” mindfully, wintering can lead to increased resilience, wisdom, compassion, and a deeper capacity for joy.
This ‘wintering’ theme will be woven throughout the day, even in the nourishing food we will eat for lunch.
Are you ready to winter within and winter with us?

Understanding Your Chart: Finding Meaning and Purpose in Your Life
The planets fix a pattern at the instant of our birth, and that pattern spirals through our lives. This individual design shows our deepest internal dynamics and how they manifest in our careers, relationships, and life path. Although astrology is not predictive, understanding your chart can illuminate the larger meaning behind your experiences—offering self-acceptance, compassion, and peace in knowing your life does, indeed, hold purpose.
In this 5-part workshop, you’ll receive your personalized astrological chart (prepared in advance with your birth date, time, and location) and guided instruction through the foundations of astrology. Each class includes interactive discussion and time for you to ask questions about your individual chart.
Important: Participants must email their birth data (date, time, and location) to ohrstrom.b@gmail.com by DEC 27 so charts of participants can be prepared.
