Tap into this short and powerful window of time with your sisters
Are you ready to release and renew this Winter solstice?
The power of this short and potent window can be harnessed with a bit of awareness, fun and your sisters 🙂
Let’s spend some together this Winter Solstice!
Winter Solstice 2024, June 20 & 21
@ the Kamalashila Tibetan Buddhist Centre
Why Winter Solstice?
I personally love to use Winter Solstice as my true “New Year’s” moment in time.
A time to reflect and renew.
I tried to explain it to a friend today so I thought I’d share this little video explaining how I view this time and the process that I like to flow through at this time of year.
What will we get up to?
Women's Circle Welcome
Goddess Story-telling
Ecstatic Dance for release
Morning Silent Journalling during the Solstice
Shared meals and closing circle
Who is it for?
This is a women’s retreat – babes in arms are welcome.
It’s for people who are available from Thursday June 20 at 2pm till Friday June 21 at 2pm and willing to commit to being there for 24 hours.

Who is organising this?
Yo and Radha have been dreaming up fun things for a while and Yo finally got sick of hiding behind old stories and thought “itmi s time now”.
Yo: “I’ve been sharing Winter Solstice in a business context for 5 years or more so I thought it would be super fun to share it with my sisters in the flesh this year.”

Yo: “I’m hoping this event will be one of many so this time it is kind of a practice run – hence the low cost. We are volunteering our time with a view to run more structure retreats with paid workshop providers in the future. Doing this as a test run means we can see what it’s like to hire the venue, organise food and payments etc with beloved friends.”
