The Cottage in the Woods
As the air turns cold and the days darken, we invite you to warm yourself around a hearth of ancestral wisdom and community. Join Yelala to pass the whole Winter in our Cottage in the Woods, from the comfort of your home.
Follow, follow, down to the winding path, through the trees, to other side of the clearing.
A cottage glows with the warmth of fire and candlelight. The smells of nourishing food and healing tinctures waft through the air, the sound of singing and laughter greet you through the mist. Step through the doorway, and put down your bags; a cup of tea awaits you, along with people of all ages and genders, who welcome you into their circle, as one of their own.
This is where we will spend our Winter. We'll sing together around the Kitchen Table, learn ritual craft by the Hearth, and we'll wander over to the Book Nook, blow dust off an ancient tome to discover inspirational ancestresses. By night, we'll venture out into the Wild Woods to celebrate Winter Solstice, and sit by the bedside to remember ancestral practices of caring for those who are birthing new life into the world. We will be staying here until the Spring Equinox. Whether you choose to be with us for all or part of the Winter, we are ready to welcome you with adventure, sustenance, and open arms…
The easiest way to spend the Winter with us is to become a Cottage Resident.
