Wintering is not a retreat about doing more.
It is a retreat about remembering how to be.
Sunday 25th October 2026 | 10am – 4pm £125 (Early Bird £97)
As the clocks turn back and the moon grows full, we gather to soften into winter.
As autumn begins to draw to a close and the darker season approaches, Wintering invites you to pause.
To step away from the noise, the pressure and the constant doing.
To take a breath.
To gather warmth.
To reconnect with yourself before winter arrives.
Held at Laurel Park Retreat Centre, this intimate retreat day has been lovingly created as a seasonal threshold; a space to reflect on what has been, release what no longer serves, and prepare yourself for the months ahead with greater intention, steadiness and self-compassion.
This is not about fixing yourself.
It is not about becoming more productive or striving for a better version of yourself.
It is about honouring the wisdom of the season.
It is about softening.
Wintering; A Seasonal Retreat Day in the Fens

Nourishment
Throughout the day you will be offered seasonal refreshments, warming homemade food and sweet autumn treats.
Everything will be chosen to reflect the spirit of the season: comforting, nourishing and prepared with care.
Warm drinks will be available throughout the day.
The Setting
Wintering will take place at Laurel Park Retreat Centre, a beautiful retreat space nestled amongst trees and open skies on the Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire borders.
The landscape of the Fens offers a fitting backdrop for this day.
Wide horizons.
Autumn light.
Quiet beauty.
Space to listen inward.
As the clocks turn back and darkness begins to arrive earlier, we will gather in warmth and community to honour this seasonal transition together.
Seasonal Support Beyond the Retreat
Your Wintering experience will continue beyond the retreat itself.
You will receive a collection of thoughtfully chosen resources and seasonal keepsakes designed to support you through the darker months ahead.
These may include guided practices, reflective materials and other carefully curated elements to help you continue your Wintering journey at home.
You will also be invited to join a private Wintering WhatsApp community, offering gentle connection and seasonal support throughout the winter months.
