Are you ready to reset
Wintering the Wild Body is a midyear retreat for women into the slow, sensing spaces of the soma.
A time to rest your spine upon the earth, soften your edges, and recalibrate your inner tides.
Through elemental movement, guided imagery, nervous system attunement, and health sovereignty education, this retreat offers a return to what is primal, fluid, and true—leaving you with sustainable, achievable tools to restore balance, support healing, and reground yourself.
It is a space to honour the body’s wintering: its impulse to pull inward, to conserve, to dream underground.
We come together to rewrite our relationship to the body—not as machine, but as wild, living landscape, in constant conversation with the natural world.
Allow the deep unfurling of the intelligence your body carries.
This is your season to slow. To listen. To return.
Allow us to be of service to this.

Spirals of Soma
By Asher Bowen-Saunders
Spirals of Soma is a living body of work—a returning to the wild, wise, and deeply sensing self.
Rooted in somatic practice, nature connection, creative imagery, and body-based healing, Spirals of Soma offers immersive experiences to restore inner harmony and awaken the intelligence of the bodymind.
Through guided meditations, dance-based journeys, hands-on bodywork, and holistic retreats, this work invites visceral remembering. A reconnection to the rhythms of the Earth, the cycles within, and the spirit that moves through it all.
From stillness to motion, from inner pilgrimage to shared presence—Spirals of Soma seeks to nourish the nervous system, rewild the imagination, and tend to the sacred task of listening to the body as a living landscape.
Allow the deep unfurling of the intelligence your body carries.
This is your season to slow. To listen. To return.
Allow us to be of service to this.
