Soulstice Queer Ritual Retreat 2026

A small retreat around the winter solstice, held as a safer space for queer people at the start of the Rauhnächte, the old run of nights between the years.

The sessions look back on the year: participants draw it as a landscape, chart its highs and lows, and work with the different parts of themselves through voice dialogue and body-based exercises. Mornings begin with meditation, and on the second evening there is a ritual around the fire bowl in the garden.

The last morning is about deciding what to let go and what to keep, followed by a closing round. Meals from the first dinner to the final lunch are cooked in the house.
