Winter Doesn’t Have to Feel This Heavy
A 7-Week Wintering Journey for Women Who Are Tired, Overwhelmed, or Carrying Too Much
The Sacred Pause • Winter Solstice → Imbolc
Starts 21 December · Replays available · Pay in 3 instalments
Why You’re Feeling This Way (It’s Not Your Fault)
Winter has a way of showing us everything we’ve been carrying.
Maybe this year has stretched you thin — emotionally, mentally, physically — and now that the world is slowing down, everything you’ve pushed through is rising to the surface.
You might be noticing:
You’re exhausted in a way rest alone doesn’t fix
Your emotions feel louder, heavier, closer to the surface
You crave stillness but don’t know how to actually give it to yourself
You’re carrying responsibilities that never seem to end
You feel disconnected — from yourself, your intuition, your softness
And underneath it all… a whisper:
“I can’t carry all of this into a new year.”
The truth is:
You were never meant to sprint through winter.
You were meant to exhale, soften your edges, reflect, release, and prepare your inner world before stepping into a new cycle.
But in our loud, fast, always-on world, women have forgotten how to do that.
That’s why winter feels overwhelming — not because you’re failing, but because you’ve never been shown how to winter in a way that honours your body, your energy, and your soul.
The Sacred Pause is where you learn that.
What You’ll Experience Inside The Sacred Pause
Winter isn’t meant to be endured — it’s meant to be entered.
Inside The Sacred Pause, you’ll be guided through a gentle, soul-nourishing 7-week wintering journey designed to help you soften, release, and reconnect.
Here’s what you’ll experience:
Weekly Winter Circles (Sundays at 8pm UK - optional)
A calm, grounding weekly gathering to breathe, reflect, and reconnect.
Share if you wish — or simply be supported.
Replays available for the teaching, the sharing will be private.
Guided Reflection & Journaling
Simple, beautiful prompts that help you unravel the emotional weight of the year, understand your patterns, and reconnect to your inner voice.
Seasonal Rituals & Practices
Nervous-system soothing.
Intuitive.
Deeply feminine.
Rooted in the energy of Solstice, New Year, and Imbolc.
A Beautiful 70-Page Wintering Companion
Your guided journey from Solstice to Imbolc — filled with reflection, ritual, and gentle teaching.
A Private Sisterhood Space
A warm, quiet community where you can share, rest, reflect, be witnessed… or simply sit in the energy.
Guided Meditations
Recorded practices to help you land, soften, and deepen your wintering experience.
Curated Winter Playlists
Music to support reflection, rest, nervous-system settling, and deep presence during the darker months.
How Your Winter Will Feel After This Journey•
Imagine arriving in January…
and instead of feeling behind, burnt out, or already depleted —
you feel clear, grounded, nourished, and quietly powerful.
This is what The Sacred Pause creates:
You’ll feel lighter
Not because life magically disappeared…
but because you finally put things down.
Old patterns, heavy expectations, emotional residue —
you will have released what you’ve been carrying far too long.
You’ll move through winter with clarity
Instead of stumbling into the new year hoping it will be different,
you’ll know exactly what you need, what matters, and what you’re done with.
No more guessing. No more overwhelm.
Just grounded inner knowing.
You’ll reconnect with yourself
Your voice.
Your truth.
Your inner rhythm.
All the parts that get lost when you’re busy holding everything for everyone else —
they return.
You’ll feel held, not alone
A circle of women will have walked beside you for seven weeks.
You’ll have been witnessed, supported, softened, and seen —
and something inside you shifts when you realise you don’t have to do life alone.
You’ll enter 2026 with intention, not pressure
No more forcing resolutions you don’t even want.
You’ll step into the new year aligned, resourced, and rooted.
Your plans will come from clarity, not stress.
Your dreams will feel possible, not overwhelming.
You’ll finally feel like winter makes sense
Instead of resisting the darker months,
you’ll understand how to use them as a season of rest, reflection, healing, and deep magic.
Winter will become a sanctuary — not a struggle.

A Note from Laura
I’m Laura — Interfaith Minister, circle guide, and founder of Sacred Sister CIC.
For the past five years I’ve walked thousands of women through the Sacred Pause.
But truly, this work began long before that… in my own winters.
The winters where I was overwhelmed, exhausted, emotional, and carrying far too much.
The winters where I didn’t yet know how to rest, or release, or listen to my body.
Everything I teach in this journey is rooted in lived experience, deep feminine wisdom, and years of guiding women back to themselves.
If you’re feeling called… trust the whisper.
Sister, You don’t have to do this winter alone.
I am right here with you.
With love

Your Winter Can Feel Different This Year
You don’t have to carry everything alone.
You don’t have to start another year exhausted.
You don’t have to keep repeating the same patterns.
Let this winter be the moment you choose yourself.
Let this year be the one where you soften, slow down, reconnect, and remember who you are beneath everything you’ve been holding.
Doors are open.
We begin on 21 December.
