Activity Descriptions​
The Art of Mythopoetics Workshop
In this workshop we'll connect with our own journeys through poetry, myth, and imagination. We'll experiment with mythopoetic language, consider our own lives as living myths, and practice a wilder way of storytelling.​
Folklore Foods
What kind of folklore retreat would this be without enchanting foods to feast on?! From Solstice Stew and Sweet Porridge to Mince Pies & Winter Wassail, part of the magic of the weekend will definitely be the food!
Winter Writuals
These guided writing circles will help us tap into the themes of the dark season and celebrate the themes of yule.​
Solstice Story Soirée
An evening straight from a fairy tale... stories around the fire, festive foods and seasonal beverages to sip... and evening of comfort, joy and magic!​
