📍 The Bliss Bell Tent Sugar Grove, amongst the magic of Bliss Woods
What if you gave yourself an entire Sunday to slow down, reconnect, and nourish your soul before the quiet of winter arrives?
Imagine a cozy sanctuary tucked away in nature, the warmth of the fire, the scent of herbs and essential oils, a circle of women gathering over tea, and the freedom to create, share, laugh, and simply be.
As the Hunter’s Moon rises, we are reminded of the wisdom of the changing seasons. A time to gather what nourishes us, release what we no longer need, and prepare ourselves for the colder, quieter months ahead.
On Sunday, October 25th, I invite you to join me for an intimate Hunter’s Moon Retreat at my little homestead sanctuary. Together, we will weave a little seasonal magic through sisterhood, ritual, creativity, and connection.
With space for just seven women, this is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life and spend a day tending to yourself in the company of kindred spirits.
🌿 A Day of Seasonal Magic
🍵 Opening Tea Circle & Sisterhood We will begin by gathering around the table with a warm cup of tea, allowing ourselves to settle into the space and into one another’s presence.
There is something special about women gathering without the need to perform, impress, or have everything figured out. Just women being women. Sharing, listening, laughing, and creating the kind of connection that reminds us we are not meant to navigate every season of life alone.
Together, we will open our circle, set intentions for the day, and welcome the bonds of sisterhood that begin to form when we give ourselves the time and space to truly connect.
🌿 Group Smudging & Sacred Clearing Before we begin our creative work, we will gather for a group smudging ritual to mark our transition from the busyness of everyday life into our shared sanctuary.
A moment to breathe, release the weight of the week, and become more present in our bodies and hearts.
We will invite in clarity, groundedness, and the freedom to arrive exactly as we are.
🔮 Oracle Cards & Intuitive Guidance We will draw oracle cards as a way of opening ourselves to reflection, intuition, and the wisdom that can surface when we slow down enough to listen.
What messages are waiting for you as you enter this next season? What might you need more of? What are you ready to leave behind? There is no right or wrong interpretation. Simply an opportunity to play, reflect, and explore what resonates with your own inner knowing.
🧙♀️ Witch-Crafting: Blending Your Winter Allies This is where we bring a little seasonal witchcraft to the table!
As our ancestors gathered herbs, roots, and other gifts of the earth to sustain them through winter, we will create our own personal blends to carry a little of that nurturing energy into the months ahead.
With the guidance of scent, intuition, and the beautiful properties of our botanical ingredients, each woman will create two special take-home treasures.
Your own seasonal tea blend 🍵
We will explore herbs and botanicals that invite warmth, comfort, and a little ritual into your everyday life. You will create a custom blend to enjoy during quiet mornings, chilly afternoons, or those evenings when all you want is a cozy blanket and a moment to yourself.
Your own essential oil blend ✨
Using the sensory magic of essential oils, you will create a personal aromatic blend to accompany you through the winter season. Perhaps something grounding, comforting, uplifting, or reminiscent of the forest after a rainfall.
Let your senses lead the way as you discover the scents and combinations that speak to you.
These are more than little creations to take home. They are invitations to continue caring for yourself long after our circle has closed.
Small rituals. Beautiful reminders. A little seasonal magic of your own.
🔥 Fireside Yoga & Meditation As the autumn air settles around us, we will gather near the warmth of the fire for a gentle, grounding yoga practice and guided meditation.
Nothing strenuous. Nothing to achieve. Just an opportunity to move, breathe, soften, and reconnect with the wisdom of your body.
We will allow the warmth of the fire to remind us of our own inner flame, that steady source of light and life that remains within us even as the outer world grows quieter.
Through mindful movement, breath, and stillness, we will create space to release tension, settle the mind, and listen to what we may have been too busy to hear.
A little warmth for the body. A little quiet for the mind. A little tending to the soul.
📖 Creative Journaling & Intuitive Expression With our journals open and our imaginations invited to play, we will make space for the thoughts, feelings, dreams, and intentions that are ready to emerge.
This is not about writing the perfect words or creating something beautiful for anyone else. It is about giving your inner world somewhere to land.
Through gentle prompts, words, sketches, colors, and intuitive expression, you will be invited to explore what you wish to nurture through winter, what you want to make room for, and what might be ready to fall away with the leaves.
Let your hand move without overthinking. Let your imagination wander. Let something unexpected find its way onto the page.
Sometimes the most meaningful discoveries happen when we stop trying to figure everything out and simply allow ourselves to create.
🌕 Hunter’s Moon Ceremony: Gathering What Sustains Us As our day draws toward its close, we will come together for a full moon ceremony honoring the turning of the seasons and the wisdom of the Hunter’s Moon.
This is our time to reflect on what we have gathered throughout the year, not only in our homes or our hands, but within ourselves. The lessons we have learned. The strength we have discovered. The relationships that have nourished us. The dreams that still call to us.
And the things we no longer need to carry.
Together, we will create space for release, gratitude, and intention as we prepare to enter the quieter months ahead. We will honor the beauty of our individual journeys while celebrating the warmth and strength that can grow when women gather in genuine connection.
And perhaps we will leave with a little more clarity about what truly sustains us, a little more trust in our own inner wisdom, and a reminder that even in the darkest season, there is still warmth to be found.
Sometimes, it is already burning within us. Sometimes, it is found in the women sitting beside us. And sometimes, it is as simple as coming home to ourselves.
🍂 Seasonal snacks and refreshments will be served throughout our time together.
🤍 A Day for the Woman who is Ready to Receive
This retreat is for the woman who has been holding a lot. For the woman who is ready to slow down, reconnect with herself, and nurture the parts of her life that may have been asking for attention.
For the woman who loves the changing seasons, the scent of herbs, a warm cup of tea, the flicker of candlelight, and the simple pleasure of creating something with her own hands.
For the woman who misses meaningful connection and would love to spend a day among other women who are also finding their way through the beautiful, messy, ever-changing seasons of life.
You don't need to know anyone before you arrive. You don't need to be creative, spiritual, or experienced in any of these practices.
Come with your stories, your curiosity, your tired heart, your laughter, your questions, and whatever season of life you happen to be moving through.
There is room for all of it here.
🤍 What You’ll Take Home
✨ Your own custom herbal winter tea blend
🌿 Your own personal essential oil blend
📖 Fresh inspiration and creative energy
🤍 A full cup of sisterhood love, meaningful connection, and perhaps a few new friendships
🌙 A deeper sense of calm, groundedness, and connection to yourself
This day is for the woman who has been giving so much and is ready to receive.
For the woman who longs for meaningful connection, loves the magic of the seasons, or simply needs a little space to breathe, create, and come home to herself.
You don't need to know anyone before you arrive. You don't need experience with rituals or creative practices. Just bring yourself, an open heart, and a willingness to enjoy a little autumn magic.
Seven women. One circle. A little witchcraft, a lot of heart, and a day to nourish your soul.
Come gather with us at the Bliss Bell Tent as we welcome the wisdom of the Hunter’s Moon and prepare our hearts for the season ahead. 🌕🍂🤍
