Embers & Ice Retreat

February 5th-8th, 2026

Welcome to a retreat unlike any other

Your Magical Experience Awaits

Your cauldron overflows with everything needed for a transformative witchy weekend. From the moment you arrive until your reluctant departure, we've crafted every detail to ensure your magical journey is complete.

Enchanted Photography Experience 

Discover your most magical self through a one-on-one photoshoot with custom-built magical sets and props designed, shot and edited by an internationally acclaimed professional photographer. Immortalize your experience with your coven sisters in a group photoshoot.

Mystical Accommodations
Spend three enchanted nights in our cozy, yet cavernous cabin nestled in nature. You'll share a beautiful space with your fellow witches, often creating bonds that last far beyond the weekend.

 

Seeking solitude? Upgrade to a deluxe private room 

Nourish Your Body & Soul
We believe breaking bread together creates powerful connections. That's why all your meals are included, prepared with intention and care and accompanied by beverages and magical elixirs throughout your stay.

Have special dietary needs? Just let us know in advance, and our kitchen witch will ensure your dietary needs are met.

 

Magical Experiences & Rituals
Your days and evenings will be filled with wonder. From a sound bath healing session to moon circles and energy alignment rituals, you will l
earn to connect and interact with nature in new ways. Astrology, numerology, and human design insights along with witchy workshops and spell crafting are just some of the practices you can explore and reflect on in your retreat spell book, provided to all our Coven Sisters.

 

Sacred Keepsakes & Intangible Magic
Beyond the tangible gifts you'll receive like curated gift bags, crystals chosen for your energy, and handcrafted ritual tools, the most precious souvenirs are the ones you can't hold: sisterhood connections, a safe space to explore your mystical side and memories that will call to you through the veil.

 

The real magic? Discovering parts of yourself you never knew existed, captured forever in images that reflect your true essence.

What Awaits In The Circle

It’s an experience of balance.

The ember & the ice. 

The warmth of sisterhood meeting the quiet of winter. 

“It was amazing. It was my first shoot. I've been dreaming about shooting with Andrea and I'm so glad I finally f@^king did it! I’m so awkward in front of the camera but she made it feel so easy, same with Madison and the team.”

-Shawna

Whether you come seeking stillness, inspiration or sisterhood, you’ll find it here.
 

Wrapped in blankets, laughter, and candlelight.
 

Where The Coven Dwells

Dates & Location

February 5th - 8th, 2026

Our Mystical Haven

Our winter retreat takes place at a beautiful rustic cabin nestled on 8 private acres in Gooderham, Ontario. A serene escape surrounded by moonlit forest glades, snow-covered meadows, and tranquil forest trails. Just a couple of hours from Toronto, it’s the perfect blend of cozy comfort and natural wonder.

The property features a spacious log cabin, outdoor fire pit, hot tub, and scenic forest pathways, all transformed into a magical winter backdrop for our retreat experiences and photoshoots.


Throughout the weekend, custom winter-themed sets will be styled across the property, think flickering lanterns, frosted evergreens, and glowing embers in the snow, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere to capture your essence in a one-of-a-kind photoshoot.

Getting There

  • Utilize our private group chat to coordinate carpools

  • Inquire about our airport or public transit station pickups

Reserve your spot early — our cozy winter circle fills quickly, and space at the cabin is limited!
