CREATIVE ALCHEMY:

THE WINTER PORTAL RETREAT

Rest. Receive. Rebirth your creative fire.

January 2 – 4 | Woodstock, NY

When the world grows quiet, the muse begins to whisper. Step through winter’s portal for a weekend of rest, ritual, and renewal: a sacred, cozy immersion for artists, writers, and dreamers who crave stillness and inspiration as the new year begins.

🌙 WELCOME TO THE PORTAL

In the heart of winter, creation sleeps beneath the snow, not gone but gathering power. This retreat is a ceremonial pause between what has been and what is waiting to be born.

Together we’ll slow down, release, and remember.

Around the fire, we’ll open the Winter Portal, a space to receive what our souls most need to hear and to listen for the visions calling to be created through us next. This is a deep, sacred sitting, a time to commune with your own creative spirit, to allow the whispers beneath the surface to rise, and to honor the divine intelligence that speaks through you when you are still enough to receive.

Kristin Hanggi is the real deal. A masterful healer, teacher, and mystic. She sees the true beauty in everyone and reflects it back to them in a way you can feel deep in your cells, deep in your soul. The retreat has changed me in ways I never expected. We had the gift not only of receiving healing through community, but giving that to others with ourselves as the vessel. Experiencing both sides of that, allowing that to move through you, is transformative. Kristin understands how healing can happen through community, something our culture desperately needs but does not encourage. This retreat creates that community and that healing. I am forever grateful for this experience!!!

When you first meet Kristin, you feel you are in the presence of great wisdom, power, and love...and that feeling grows stronger with each hour you spend together. She is a sage, a mystic prophet, and a fertile ground for your creativity. You cannot help but love her. Going on retreat with her is transformational, affirming, and igniting. And just the right people show up as well, each on their own remarkable journey...so you leave with new friendships to support your work, which you are so very inspired to do. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. If you're feeling called, do not hesitate. This is a place where great things unfold!

This retreat was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Before we even arrived, Kristin went above and beyond to make sure I would feel comfortable and taken care of. The minute I walked in, I felt the magic and love. Every detail from the healthy, delicious food, to the cozy, beautiful house, to the timing of things was wonderful and created a sense of ease and flow. There was no rushing, no stress and so much room for all of us, physically, emotionally and spiritually. The work itself was transformative, exciting, daring, fun and deep. I left feeling renewed, incredibly lucky and filled with love. Thank you Kristin, you are amazing.
