Growing Goddess Winter Mystery School

Growing Goddess Winter Mystery School: Eco-Fashion & Renewal of the Creative Path

December 5–7, 2025 | Earth Song, Candler, NC

The Growing Goddess Winter Retreat is a weekend of creativity, storytelling, and empowerment — a space for young women to slow down, reconnect, and remember their creative magic. Together we will explore how to weave beauty and resilience into our lives — both through the clothes we wear and the stories we carry. This gathering supports young women in strengthening the inner and outer structures that hold them as they grow.

As winter invites us inward, we’ll immerse in the arts of eco-fashion, natural dye, and herbal medicine, discovering how creativity and community can nourish the soul. Through crafting, song, movement, and storytelling, we’ll celebrate the power of transformation, sisterhood, and rebirth.

Renewal of Creative Path

At the heart of our weekend is the Renewal of Creative Path (ROCP) ceremony — a powerful winter rite that invites us to pause, reflect, and realign with the deep source of our creativity. In this guided process, we ask:

• What brings me into connection with myself, others, and the Earth?

• What are the threads of my story — the gifts, the challenges, the turning points that shape my way?

• What new creative life is calling if I listen deeply?

  
  

Through story, song, journaling, and shared reflection, each participant reclaims her creative path as sacred. The stillness of winter becomes fertile ground for clarity, renewal, and vision — allowing new inspiration to rise from within.

Program Highlights

• Indigo Cyanotypes — Hands-on exploration of natural dyeing with indigo to create luminous cyanotype prints.

• Eco-Fashion Design — A playful and empowering dive into repurposing fashion. We’ll visit the Goodwill bins, gather pieces, and transform them into reimagined, one-of-a-kind expressions of self.

• Herbal Medicine & Tea Blending — Daily tea rituals with medicinal plants, culminating in crafting herbal tea blends as nourishing holy-day gifts to share.

• Storytelling & Self-Expression — Guided circles where each participant shares stories and learns to witness others with depth and compassion.

• Life Structures — Practical and symbolic activities to support the foundational aspects of life — self-care, boundaries, and creative agency.

• Sisterhood & Mentorship — Time for connection, song, and reflection, nurturing each young woman’s confidence, creativity, and sense of belonging.
