On February 1st, 2026, Indigenous Healer Asha Frost will be joining Jenny Sawanohk at the Misiwe Ni Relations Healing Lodge for a special Fireside Teaching & Healing.... Day Retreat: Mama Bear Medicine Circle.

Winter is a Sacred Time for rest and reflection; inviting us to come inward and to gently stoke our inner fires. The Fire needed to stay warm during the colder months, and the Light needed to navigate this Season of Darkness. This is a Time for introspection and healing, if we allow ourselves the silence and stillness needed to welcome it.

Bear Medicine symbolizes powerful spiritual healing. They are healers, protectors, and guides, teaching lessons of solitude, resilience, and balance between assertiveness and nurturing. It involves tapping into deep inner wisdom, overcoming challenges, and finding renewal through quiet self-reflection.

Bears hibernate during the Winter months, and yet during this time also birth their cubs. There is so much Medicine offered here to understand how we too can get the rest and regeneration that we need, and find the clarity, strength and courage needed to help birth and Mother a New World. A world that desperately needs Sacred Feminine Wisdom to lead the way forward into a new Golden Age: a Time for Peace and Harmony.

The questions this retreat will address is how can we metaphorically hibernate this Season?
How can we integrate the Teachings of Bear into our lives?
How can we embrace Bear Medicine and find the strength and courage needed of us for what lies ahead?
How can we ensure that we are ready to birth what is needed from us come Spring? Spring: our Indigenous New Year.

Together, Asha and Jenny will provide the needed Teachings to help you understand this path, and the healing needed to walk it with beauty, grace and faith - and truly start off 2026 in a good way! Asha will also provide readings from her beautiful Oracle Decks, and you will be offered time in the Healing Forest for grounding and integrating the healing.

Lunch, Cedar Tea, Water and snacks will be provided.

Please bring re-useable water bottles and if you'd prefer your own yoga mats, meditations pillows and blankets.
