About the Wintering Well Series
Wild Rice Retreat’s Wintering Well series, specially curated for The Great Northern, focuses on harnessing the winter months as a time of wellness. The three-part series will incorporate guided breathwork, meditation, yoga, wellness, and bathing practices to support your health and wellbeing during the winter months.
The series is inspired by the wintering well principles of Wild Rice Retreat in Bayfield, WI—the North’s award winning nature-based wellness resort, with a special focus on supporting the BIPOC experience in healing spaces and the great outdoors of the North.
All proceeds from these events will further the mission of Maji ya Chai Land Sanctuary—a Black-led nature based healing retreat being developed on Minnesota's North Shore.
The three-part series will incorporate different wellness and healing practices into the sessions to help you restore, rejuvenate, and thrive in the winter season.
