The Wheel of the Year:
Celebrating the Cycles of Nature with our Nurturing Retreats
The Wheel of the Year is a beautiful representation of the cyclical nature of life, marking the changing seasons and sacred festivals that align with the Earth’s rhythms. These eight celebrations, also known as Sabbats, offer an opportunity to connect with nature, reflect on personal growth, and honour the cycles of life. Each festival has its own unique energy and meaning, inviting us to deepen our spiritual and physical practices through mindfulness, ritual, and community gatherings.​​
