Winter is the season of descent.
Within the heart of winter, lays the seed of summer.
Yet, in our summer crazed culture, we often miss the magic winter is longing to lay before us.
On this Winter Witches retreat we will focus on descending into the inner world.
Embrace your Darkness, Awaken your most radiant Light
Winter is more than just a season; it's a time of descent, of introspection, of inner growth.
In a culture obsessed with the frenzy of summer, we often overlook the profound magic that winter has to offer. This retreat is your opportunity to pause, to listen to the whispers of your soul, and to connect with the sacred rhythms of the season.
Your Experience
During our time together, you'll:
→ Deeply Rest: Allow yourself to unwind and recharge in the serene surroundings of Ravens Nest, Venus Bay.
→ Find Inspiration: Tap into your creative potential and unleash your inner magic through expressive arts and movement.
→ Activate Your Power: Engage in practices of self-love, sensuality, and pleasure to awaken your body and soul.
→ Come home to the dark: Harness the true power of being in relationship with winter, with the dark. Working with darkness you will come to uncover parts of yourself that have been longing for your attention.
→ Connect with Sisters: Forge deep connections with like-minded souls, creating sisterhoods that last a lifetime.
When spring comes we rise from the dark fertile soil we have created.
Meet your facilitators
Chloe Adriana - Retreat Host and Facilitator
Chloe Adriana (she/her), known as The Pussy Queen, is a multifaceted professional blending the realms of somatic sexology, self-love coaching, and ceremonial facilitation. Drawing from a diverse background ranging from professional fairy to dedicated teacher,
In the darkest time of her life, when it felt like everything was falling apart. Her soul called out to me to go inwards, to hibernate and heal.
Following that call that led her to the North of Sweden.
In the many hours of darkness she began to learn to listen to my body's need for deep rest, having spent my life chasing the sun, chasing parties, chasing men.
She finally stopped, stilled and began to listen to the wisdom within.
Chloe’s believe our culture's avoidant relationship with winter has a lot to do with our avoidant relationship with the dark parts of our psyche.
Through the Winter Witches retreat it Chloe’s intention to teach participants harness their dark by working with the medicine of yin, practising ritual, magic and pleasure in order to fully nourish our beings.
So that when spring comes we can truly rise.
Vera - Host and Yoga teacher
Vera is a Traditional Yoga Teacher and Healer who provides a safe and loving space that allows you to be fully in your heart and listen to what it wants to share with you.
From a young age she had the feeling that the universe had something else in mind for her. It still took her many years to finally admit to herself that she couldn't live the life she was living. Until she reached the point that her fire slowly burned out, and she fell very deep.
She sees now that she needed to fall so far in order to wake up, to go trough the dark to be able to see the light again. She started travelling and discovered other ways of living that sparked her heart. When yoga came on her path, it changed her life and yoga became her daily practice, and way of living.
Vera loves bringing community together at the Good Vibes Studio in Bermagui where she holds a space for facilitators to offer their gifts and shares her own love for Traditional Hatha Yoga. She also pours her love into organising the Vibration of the Heart Retreats at Tilba and the Bali Pilgrimage.
Her intention for Winter Witches is to take you into your heart, the depths of your being and explore your inner world. Reconnecting with your wholeness, knowing that you are perfect just as you are, that nothing has to be changed. Being present with everything we do and living in a deeper state of awareness.
