mother nature Midwinter Retreat
Online: SATurday 18th January 2025
10am - 3pm GMT With Hattie Duke & Emma Gorbutt
*Early Bird £5 Discount Ends 10/12/24*
Come and join Emma and Hattie for a nourishing Mid Winter Retreat using the Mother Nature Cards to support us in our mothering journey, whatever stage we are at within this fascinating, challenging and inspiring journey. There is so much to be learnt, reminded of and offering service to, when we come together in circle, as women have since ancient times.
We will spend a day gathering online because for many of us it can be hard to coordinate a day away from home. And online, we have the joy of sharing with women & mothers from our wider global community.

Plan for the Day
We will share our stories with each other in circle and in small groups and in the breaks we will also take time outside with the nature community where we live. We can share this connection too and bring it to life for our fellow mothers, as we are enriched by their sharing of nature near where they live too.
There will be space for joy, laughter and tears together. We will provide space to reflect, to connect deeply with nature and ourselves (remembering that we are part of her) and to settle into a timeless place, where we will emerge refreshed, centred and heart-warmed.
Times
We will start our day together at 10am GMT and will have a 1 hr lunch break . Children are welcome to be around in the back ground and if you can get child care for some of the day all the better for your experience. We will close the day promptly at 3pm .
