Winter Solstice Online Retreat 2025

LiveLight|DwellDeep

2 hours of quiet reflection, meditation and contemplation.

As we arrive at the shortest day of the year here in the Northern Hemisphere, Winter invites us into her quiet wisdom. This is the season that gently reminds us to slow down, to pause, to notice what is stirring beneath the surface. It is a time to rest, to connect with what truly matters, and to receive the subtle gifts that only the dark and stillness can offer. May this moment in the turning year offer you space to breathe, listen, and be held in this inclusive online space. Take some time for yourself, to slow down, still the body and the mind and listen to the longings of your soul.

I like Anna's style a lot and though it's always a different group people are always friendly and engaged.""Anna has a remarkable knowledge of various spiritual practices and ability to introduce them in a simple way.' James"Thank you so much for a lovely retreat .... I felt held and was able to connect with that deep inner well. Thank you for your preparation and the way you carried our time together so gently and intentionally. It felt like a lovely balance of receiving, resting and reflecting."These meditations are so comforting and beautiful.''"It's like finding a little sanctuary, a calm quiet space to reflect and refresh. It's a safe space, you won't be asked to do anything weird and it can be your own private time if you want it to be."Listen to a contemplation from a series Anna recorded at the beginning of the first lockdown - <a href="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/meditations-for-isolation-peace-and-presence-n218/" title="https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/meditations-for-isolation-peace-and-presence-n218/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Meditations for Isolation: Peace and Presence </a>
