A Wintering Retreat 2025

A Wintering Retreat November 6-9, 2025

Book a solo Twin bed space here! ONLY ONE SPOT LEFT!

As autumn leaves fall and daylight grows shorter, nature invites us to turn inward and, at our first annual Wintering Retreat,  we choose to accept this invitation. 

This November, Essential Yoga Studio and Altruistic Energy invite you to honor this natural rhythm in a safe space designed for women ready to release the year’s accumulated stress and prepare their hearts and spirits for the season ahead. Our Retreat home is on Beaver Lake in Rogers, Arkansas – just two hours from Springfield.

Over four nurturing days, we’ll explore the wisdom of Ayurveda through dosha assessments that reveal our unique constitution and explore where we might have imbalances and how diet and activity can support balance in our constitution. We’ll learn how to better understand our body’s deepest needs, and carefully crafted meals will honor our individual doshas, nourishing us from within.

Each participant’s journey will include a full-body massage tailored to your specific needs—a gift of presence and healing touch that allows tension to melt away. In our creative space, you’ll engage in mindful crafts that ground you in the present moment: blending custom bath salts infused with intention, hand-pouring candles that will carry your retreat’s peace into your home, and painting ceramic mugs that become daily reminders of this sacred pause.

The healing power of sound will wash over you during our immersive sound bath, where vibrations support our nervous system and energetic bodies and invite deep restoration. Daily yoga practices will move energy through our bodies while honoring where we are in this moment—no performance, just presence.

Participants will also receive a thoughtfully curated swag bag filled with treasures to support your continued journey of self-care and seasonal attunement.

This retreat isn’t about pushing through or powering on—it’s about permission to slow down, to breathe deeply, and to tend to yourself with the same care you give to others, especially as we approach the holiday season. It’s about remembering that rest is not a luxury but a necessity, and that preparing for winter’s introspection is both wise and wonderful.

Join us for this rare opportunity to pause, restore, and emerge renewed as we collectively embrace the art of wintering well.
