Light diminishes and in our part of the world, nature turns towards rest. We follow it inward. November is the season of depth, and this day works with the things we’d rather not look at: the fears, the losses, the unlived parts of a life. Not to dwell on them but to compost, because in nature, what falls and decays becomes the richest ground for what comes next.
Set in Dilston Physic Garden as the heart of the dark season approaches, the day draws on winter wisdom traditions from around the world; cultures that understood this time of year not as something to endure but as a season of depth, story, and necessary turning inward. You’ll spend time outside in the November garden, work with reflection and symbol, and leave with something that only the dark season can give: a deeper sense of what you’re made of, and what is preparing to grow.
For women who are ready to stop rushing past the difficult things and find out what they have to offer.
Please Note: You might find it useful to bring a blanket, a blank-page notebook, a clean-lidded jar, something to gather into, and something to write/draw with.
About Dr. Juno Quaintrell: I use a nature-centred approach to help women navigate midlife challenges and find a saner, more authentic way of being. With almost two decades of specialised cross-cultural research, I help them tap into what indigenous peoples call ‘our oldest knowledge’ through retreat-courses, workshops, and individual guidance and support. My approach uniquely gives my clients nature-centred underpinning for life, helping them move forward into their best and most fulfilling chapter yet.
