19-24/12/2022 – Ardennes

Celebrate the build-up to Christmas in silence, meditating 5 hours a day and spending the rest of the days walking, contemplating the forest, and preparing the Yule ritual on the evening of the 21st, as well as honoring the final week’s ritual of Christmas Eve. Every day you get one ritual task you fulfill, following your own insights. No pre-knowledge is necessary. This Yule week is all about sinking deep into yourself,. Yule is the moment of the Winter Solstice: we embrace the longest night of the year on the 21st, and prepare for the returning light.

On Christmas Eve we come back from the silence, and feast together, sharing food and (symbolic) gifts, enjoying each other’s company and insights from the week.
