the Seasonal Council
A Quarterly Women’s Retreat
the Seasonal Council is a year-long arc of intentional practice and conscious tending.
We gather four times each year — Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter — for a half-day immersion that brings us back into right relationship with the turning of the year and the turning within ourselves.
Some women walk the full cycle of the year as Council Keepers, while others join for a particular seasonal council. Together, we create a circle that is both continuous and ever-changing — just like the seasons themselves.
This is an intentional circle — rooted in presence, participation, and seasonal rhythm. Come as you are, and leave feeling rejuvenated for the months ahead.

what to expect //
The precise shape of each immersion will shift with the season — spring may invite more time on the land, winter may draw us inward — but the heart of our time together remains the same — attunement, coherence, and conscious tending.
What we weave together may include ::
Ceremonial cacao
Guided meditation + nervous system settling
Structured seasonal reflection + journaling
Song + gentle embodied movement
Neuroplasticity practices that help new patterns take root
Distilled sharing in circle — one voice at a time, held in deep listening
Guided council dialogue — thoughtful conversation and shared wisdom
Restorative Yoga
Sound Journey
Nourishing seasonal lunch + snacks
Guest speakers / teachers
Forest bathing and/or lake swimming (weather permitting)
Seasonal integration packet + goodies to take home
A private Signal group for intentional check-ins, shared wisdom, and continued seasonal practice between retreats.
+++ This group will be intentionally kept small to preserve intimacy & make space for deep connection +++
the arc //
Each gathering builds upon the last.
Together, we:
Honor what is ready to complete
Clarify what we are consciously choosing
Refine focus for the season ahead
Align with both the solar and lunar calendar
Develop shared rhythm and collective wisdom over time
The strength of this container comes from continuity — from staying, tending, and evolving together.
commitment & investment //
the Seasonal Council is a circle that gathers across a full cycle of the year.
Some women choose to walk the full arc as Council Keepers, while others join for a particular seasonal council, sitting in circle during a time that calls to them.
Both are meaningful ways of participating in the council.
COUNCIL KEEPER // Full Year — 4 Retreats :: $800
(payment plan available — 1/2 in Spring and 1/2 in Summer)
Council Keepers walk the year together, witnessing one another across the seasons. If a gathering must be missed, seasonal materials and integration resources will be provided, and Keepers remain connected through the group thread as the year unfolds.
SEASONAL COUNCIL // Single Retreat :: $250
For those who feel called to join for a particular season, or who are not able to commit to the full cycle. Each seasonal council is its own complete circle, while also part of the larger rhythm of the year.
