Wintering

In a culture that encourages us to keep pushing, winter asks something different of us.

Wintering is a collaborative afternoon led by Angie Garton and Linda McCann, created for women who are ready to rest deeply, reflect gently, and reconnect with the part of themselves that knows how to slow down.

Over the course of the afternoon, you’ll be guided through a carefully structured journey that supports both body and mind; without pressure, performance, or expectation.

What to expect:

• A grounding meditation to arrive and settle.
• Gentle chanting and fascial release to soften the body and quiet the nervous system.
• A guided 'Winter Letter' reflection. This is a slow, intuitive writing or doodling practice to help you connect with the parts of you that are asking for rest, care, or release this season.
• A deeply nourishing restorative yin-style yoga practice, focused on opening and balancing the chakras (guided by Linda)
• A soothing sound bath (guided by Angie), designed to support deep rest and integration
• Hot drinks and homemade snacks to keep you warm, nourished, and grounded

This afternoon is spacious, unhurried, and intentionally gentle. You’ll never be asked to share, perform, or explain yourself, simply to show up as you are.

Who This Is For

• Women feeling tired, overstimulated, or disconnected.
• Anyone craving deep rest and nervous system reset.
• Those drawn to reflective, embodied practices rather than high-energy workshops.
• Women navigating midlife, transition, or simply needing a pause.

No prior yoga, meditation, or sound bath experience is needed.

What You’ll Leave With

• A sense of deep calm and grounding.
• Greater connection to your inner rhythms.
• Insight into what you need during this season.
• A feeling of being rested, held, and gently restored.
