The Winter Threshold
A Gathering of Fire, Remembering & Creative ReturnFriday–Sunday
February 20–22A 3-day intimate gathering to slow down, create, and reconnect—with yourself, the land, and community.
February is a liminal month.
Not quite winter. Not yet spring.
This retreat is a pause in the in-between.Fire will be a central element of this gathering. We’ll work with fire both practically and reflectively, allowing it to become a source of warmth, presence, and shared attention throughout the weekend.
A simple beeswax candle-making practice may also be offered as a ritual extension of our work with fire.
At Namahai, we gather to warm the body, soften the nervous system, and open creative channels through hands-on art, ritual, seasonal food, and shared presence.
This is not a performance.
Not a hustle-reset.
Not a “become someone new” experience.It’s a return.
From $755 (early bird through February 6)
Full price thereafter
Namahai retreats are intentionally small, slow, and seasonal. They blend hands-on creative workshops, elemental skills, gentle movement, shared meals, and time on the land. Each gathering is designed as a complete experience—spacious, practical, and deeply human.
Our gatherings offer an intimate Catskills retreat-style experience rooted in art, nature, and community.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
This weekend has truly been the highlight of the year. I’m so glad that the weekend was not only possible, but that it aligned with the opening of the long-awaited studio space.
I felt so inspired and so rested ( I can’t believe the 3 whole days can change a lot!)
Your hospitality was such a blessing and the connection to nature was unmatched.
I cannot wait to see what blossoms and blooms the next time I’m here!
Cheers,
— Macy
Thank you for sharing this magical place with us. We charged in nature and got the best sleep in over 4 months! Being around the trees + animals, in complete presence, has been so restorative for the soul. And most of all grateful for you both for following your soul’s desire to build this place + community and share with others. Looking forward to coming back.
With Love,
— Iryna + Aaron
This city girl needed NAMAHAI Retreat! I loved Marianna & Natanel's home-cooked meals, our deep conversations, and being connected to nature through spirit, arts, and crafts. I really need to unplug from my normal life and sunbathe in this retreat. It went by too fast.
Highly recommend!
