Distilling Winter: An Alchemical Journey & Retreat with Winter's Medicine

This two-part workshop and retreat unfolds over the course of one and a half days (Friday evening 1/12/24, all day Saturday, 1/13/24). The workshop/retreat includes a distillation experience, lecture & discussion, contemplative & meditative exercises, and some simple aromatic/herbal blending.

In our time together we will:

• Explore the unique medicine our local winter landscape offers for body & soul (with an emphasis on conifers especially)

• Prepare and conduct a distillation featuring local conifers

• Appreciate distillation as metaphor via the alchemical stages

• Discover and engage relevant archetypes, symbols, and alchemical stages to better appreciate and nurture your own winter processes, needs, and self-care
