February 20-22Early Bird:Starting at $325Wintering The Body Retreat: Napanoch, NY
About the RetreatIn the heart of winter, we are gathering women for a slow, inward retreat nestled in the mountains of Naponoch, NY. Held in a cozy mountain home set within 130 acres of private land, surrounded by quiet and open space, this weekend is an invitation to soften, slow down, and be deeply cared for—centering rest, presence, and spaciousness.
Sasha and Diana will guide practices that honor the body’s seasonal rhythms: learn to craft warming womb elixirs and nourishing body oils, enjoy herbal teas and meals intentionally prepared for winter energetics, and engage in creative rituals that awaken presence and intuition. Diana offers cycle-based reflections and check-ins to deepen body awareness, while gentle movement and evening yoga nidra support grounding and restorative rest.
The retreat includes sauna time, journaling, cozy fireplace moments, and unstructured space to wander, nap, or simply be. This is a true winter pause—quiet, nurturing, and intentionally spacious, supporting your body, mind, and spirit through the season’s depth.
❋ Nourishing The BodyHomemade, warming meals and herbal tea blends will be shared daily, offering steady winter support. Food, tea, and time around the table become part of the care—simple, grounding, and generous—held alongside womb wisdom and herbal practices that tend the body slowly and deeply.
❋ Gathering in CommunityWe gather with women in the heart of winter to be together. Sitting in circle, sharing space, and moving through the weekend side by side creates a sense of warmth, support, and quiet connection.
❋ Creative DowntimeWinter invites slowness, and this retreat makes room for creative downtime. Unstructured time allows you to rest, journal, sit by the fire, wander the woods, or warm and renew in the sauna. In this spaciousness, creativity isn’t forced—it emerges naturally when the body softens and the season is honored.
❋ Seasonal BodyWhatever phase of life or cycle you are in, the medicine is there. Together we explore the relationship between the outer seasons in nature and the inner seasons of the body, the cycle, and the moon, cultivating awareness through listening, gentle morning movement, and evening yoga nidra.
Wintering the body invites rest, warmth, and a return to the body’s own rhythm.
What's Included-
A shared space of reflection rooted in the menstrual cycle awareness, menopause, and the rhythms of the moon as an ongoing expression of the body’s cyclical nature. Diana holds this work with grounded presence, inviting deeper listening to the body’s cyclical wisdom.
-
Sasha will guide participants in making herbal preparations to support the body through winter, including a nourishing, deeply moisturizing body butter and a warming womb elixir. Together, we’ll work hands-on with herbs in a slow, intentional way, learning simple, accessible methods that can be carried into everyday life. Participants will leave with the remedies we create during the retreat, along with the recipes and knowledge to continue making them at home—offering care not only to themselves, but to loved ones as well.

Slow, supportive somatic movement in the mornings to soften the body and invite ease, with yin-inspired practices and gentle evening yoga nidra for deep rest. Guided by Diana, a 700-hour Yoga Alliance certified teacher.

Evening brings a gentle dive into the dreaming self. You’ll sip a carefully crafted herbal tea to invite vivid dreams and set intentions for the night, then create your own mugwort satchel to place by your pillow. The night closes with a guided yoga nidra, a deep rest that carries you into sleep, supporting dream recall and the subtle work of the unconscious.
-
Nourishment will be woven throughout the weekend, with food and drinks prepared to support the body in winter—warming, grounding, and deeply restorative. Meals will emphasize seasonal ingredients and comforting flavors that tend the nervous system and build inner heat, inviting a sense of ease and replenishment.

A space to sink into warmth and release in a traditional Finnish sauna. The steady heat supports detoxification, circulation, and deep rest, offering comfort and ease in the heart of winter.

“Thank you Sasha, as I left your place I had such an emotional release and so much clarity. I feel like it might’ve been just being around you and all the loving awareness you pour into everything you do. So so much thanks for your holding.”

She nurtured the path, guided me to unfild in a non-judgemental and loving way.

I am so grateful our paths crossed.”
