Wintering: A Solstice Celebration


  • Santosha at Hillholm Estate 33 Winter Hill Road Kingfield, ME, 04947 United States (map)

Winter may feel like a dark time, but when we turn to Nordic traditions, we find joyful light in the dark. This weekend, we explore themes related to honoring both our light and shadow sides by cultivating inner warmth. The weekend will include a wine tasting experience with our sommelier; a traditional candlelit Swedish winter feast; a close reading of Katherine May’s “Wintering”; and intention-setting for learning “to winter” together. Bring your fuzzy slippers: prepare for a weekend of quiet joy.

Meanwhile, Santosha provides all the programming you know and love from our Holistic Retreats every day, so you have plenty of options outside the program—four daily meals, three daily yoga classes, two daily meditations, our nightly dharma talk, and more. Spend the days in reflection, then wrap up the day with a good soak in the jacuzzi, a steam in our brand new cedar barrel sauna, and a hot toddy by the fire.

$ - The value of this Specialty Retreat is the same as the value of our Holistic Retreats. Learn more about value here. Lift passes, equipment rental, ski lessons, and food/beverage purchased outside Santosha are not included.
