Women’s Winter nesting retreat 2025

You are welcomed to Leith Hill, Surrey from 7th-9thNovember 2025.

With a rooted wreath of connection to the land and her cycles, Jakki and Jess are coming together again to provide a ferment rich and peaceful Autumnal experience for women.

The retreat will offer a cauldron to shed, mulch and prepare our elixirs for the wintertime as we welcome the Calliach and begin to turn inwards. The retreat offers you time away from busyness, electronics, light pollution and the day to day modern life to honour the descentin to Winter. The retreat is curated to encourage you to shed and enjoy a few days ofreflection and replenishment, preparing your body, mind and soul for the wintertime. We will be working with Autumn and transition to Winter throughout the weekend in line withour seasons here in the UK. This seasonal remembering, honouring and carving of spaceserves us not just for the time of the retreat but in the coming winter and seasons beyond.We are reclaiming our ceremonial pilgrimages to land away from the hustle. We hope you’ll join us to return to yourself, and to the woodland.The intention for the retreat is to curate a space where we can sample a taster of livingcommunally as witches of the woodland.
