Winter Alchemy Workshop
A Descent into Stillness & Soul
A soul-nourishing winter workshop in Havant for women ready to rest, reflect, & reconnect.
Surrendering to the Stillness of the Season
As the year draws to a close and nature folds herself inward, Winter Alchemy invites you to pause, breathe, and honour the stillness.
This is your sacred reminder that winter is not a void — it’s a season of deep, unseen transformation. Beneath the quiet earth, life is preparing for rebirth. So too are you.
The Essence of
Winter Alchemy
An invitation to rest, reflect, & renew your inner rhythm
Winter calls us home — to ourselves, to the hearth, to our inner knowing.
This gathering at The Alchemist Retreat in Havant is a space to slow down, release the weight of the year gone by, and make room for what’s ready to emerge in the light to come.
Here, we will honour the sacred pause through ritual, reflection, and creative practice, allowing the natural cycles of the earth to guide our own process of renewal.
What You’ll Experience
Surrender to the Quiet
Through guided reflection and sensory awareness, we’ll explore what it means to soften into stillness.
You’ll learn how to release the pressure to push forward and instead rest within the fertile dark — where transformation begins.
Creative Practice for the Winter Soul
We’ll engage in a hands-on creative ritual — a simple, mindful act of making — to anchor your reflections into form. This practice becomes a symbolic reminder of your capacity to create beauty even in seasons of stillness.
Ritual & Reverence
Together, we’ll weave a Winter Solstice honouring ritual, welcoming the return of light while tending to the sacred dark.
Expect candles, storytelling, and ancestral reverence — a reminder that even in the quiet, magic stirs beneath the surface.
Seasonal Reflection & Renewal
Through gentle journaling and guided reflection, you’ll be invited to explore what winter is asking of you right now — where your energy is being called inward, and what wants to be lovingly set down for a while.
This isn’t about rushing toward new beginnings, but about honouring the sacred pause — listening for what’s stirring quietly beneath the surface, preparing to take form in its own time.
Why Join the Winter Alchemy Workshop?
For the woman who’s ready to rest, reflect, & reconnect with her own natural rhythm
Winter isn’t a time to power through — it’s an ancient invitation to slow down, tend your fire, and prepare the ground for spring.
When you align with nature’s rhythm, you restore your own.
This workshop will help you:
Regulate your nervous system through rest and sensory stillness
Release the energetic residue of the past year
Rekindle your inner light through ritual and reflection
Enter the new year with clarity, calm, and soul-led intention
Who This Workshop Is For
This experience is for the woman who feels:
The pull to slow down but doesn’t know how to truly rest
The weight of the year still lingering in her body
The quiet ache to reconnect with herself and nature’s wisdom
The desire to mark the turning of the year in a meaningful, sacred way
If you’re ready to step away from the noise and into the depth of your own stillness, Winter Alchemy is your sanctuary.

Tania Meacher | Weaver of ancestral alchemy
Trauma-informed coach, ancestral alchemist, and spiritual guide.
I help women reclaim their truth, power, and inner wisdom through ritual, reflection, and ancestral connection. My work bridges the seen and unseen — the sacred and the practical — guiding you home to yourself through the seasons of your life.
At The Alchemist Retreat, I hold space for transformation that feels safe, embodied, and rooted in reverence for the cycles of nature.

FAQ
Where is The Alchemist Retreat and what should I know about the space?
The Alchemist Retreat is my personal home sanctuary — a cosy, purpose-built space in my garden designed for small group gatherings, creative ritual, and deep reflection.
It’s a peaceful setting surrounded by nature, candlelight, and the gentle hum of everyday life.
Please note: bathroom facilities are located inside my home, and you’ll likely meet my extremely friendly dog, who loves to greet guests, as well as my grumpy-but-good-humoured husband, who mostly keeps to himself but may make a passing appearance.
This is not a corporate wellness venue — it’s a living, breathing space of alchemy, created with care, warmth, and authenticity.
Who is the Winter Alchemy Workshop for?
This gathering is designed for soulful, heart-led women who feel the pull to slow down, release the weight of the year, and reconnect with their inner rhythm. You don’t need to have any prior experience in ritual or spiritual practice — simply come with an open heart and a willingness to rest and receive.
How many spaces are available?
This is a small, sacred gathering limited to six women only. The size allows for deep connection, personal reflection, and a truly safe, nurturing experience.
What happens during the workshop?
You’ll be guided through reflection exercises, journaling, creative ritual, and a gentle candlelit ceremony to honour the winter season. Every element is designed to help you unwind, reflect, and reconnect with your inner wisdom — without pressure, performance, or pushing.
What should I bring?
All creative and ritual materials are provided. You may wish to bring a journal and pen, and any small sacred object you’d like to place on the communal altar (such as a crystal, charm, or photo).
I will provide cushions, and blankets.
Will there be any movement or physical activity?
This is a still, reflective experience. There’s no movement work — instead, we’ll focus on guided reflection, creative ritual, and quiet embodiment through sensory awareness and breath.
Is this suitable if I’m new to spirituality or ritual?
Absolutely. The space is welcoming, inclusive, and trauma-informed. Every element is guided with compassion and sensitivity, honouring your pace and comfort level.
What if I need to cancel?
No refunds will be offered for cancellations made within 7 days of the workshop date. We understand that unexpected things happen, and we recommend letting us know as early as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule outside this window
