Wintering:
A Women's Wellness Retreat
Aligning with winter's healing
February 5 - 7, 2027
Bethlehem, NH
Return home with a deeper understanding of how seasonal changes influence well-being and practical strategies for enhancing life satisfaction and mood during the winter months.
What if, instead of struggling through the dark months of winter, you learned how to thrive? It's possible!
We’ve all been there. The days grow darker, shorter, and colder, and we begin to feel the heaviness of winter settle into our bodies as our energy and mood decline into winter blues. You aren't alone.
I curated this retreat to help you change your relationship with winter, recognizing it as a beautiful season of contemplation, restoration, and joy.
New Hampshire’s stunning White Mountains provide the perfect setting to learn how to befriend and embrace the winter months, rather than simply endure them.

Why go on retreat with me:
I have been creating empowering wellness learning experiences for women for over twenty years. The intention I bring to each retreat is to help women cultivate self-compassion through greater self-awareness, mindset shifts, and meaningful and evidence-based practices and rituals they can integrate into their lives for lasting change.
But what truly makes a retreat special isn't about me, it's the community we co-create. When women gather with a shared intention for well-being and collective care, something magical happens.
As a board-certified health and wellness coach, educator, yoga teacher, and lover of the natural world, I've designed this weekend to be welcoming, restorative, and accessible.
I am honored to create a soft, supportive space for us to gather this winter to learn, connect, and grow together.
You curated an amazing retreat that I will never forget.
Thank you again for a perfect weekend. It was more than I could have ever expected.
Dawn planned everything to a T! Top notch all the way!
