Manifest Your Magic: A Full Snow Moon Winter Retreat

This year’s Manifest Your Magic retreat was intentionally chosen to align with a powerful energetic threshold: the opening weeks of the Year of the Fire Goat and the February Full Snow Moon, also known as a Super Snow Moon.

The retreat takes place just after Lunar New Year begins the Year of the Fire Goat and lands directly beneath the light of the Full Snow Moon. Together, these energies create a meaningful container for reflection, renewal, creativity, manifestation, and heart-led intention.

Set along the quiet winter landscape of Lake Superior, this all-inclusive retreat is designed to help you unplug, soften, restore, and reconnect with the vision that is ready to move through you. Over four days, you’ll be guided through transformative practices, soulful ceremonies, sound healing, breathwork, creative ritual, and intentional manifestation work created to help you release what no longer feels aligned and open yourself to the next chapter of your life.

The Full Snow Moon arrives in the heart of winter, a season when nature appears still on the surface but is quietly preparing for what comes next. Spiritually, this moon invites reflection, clearing, inner listening, and illumination. It asks us to pause long enough to notice what is ready to be released and what is ready to be nourished.

The Year of the Fire Goat brings a complementary energy of creativity, intuition, beauty, compassion, warmth, and gentle strength. The Goat is often associated with artistry, harmony, emotional wisdom, and heart-centered connection, while the Fire element adds courage, passion, vitality, and forward movement. This makes the beginning of the Fire Goat year a beautiful time to reconnect with your inner vision, tend to your dreams, and move into the year with more intention and trust.

We’ll gather Thursday evening for a warm welcome dinner, opening the weekend with breathwork, meditation, visualization, and sound healing. As the Full Snow Moon builds and peaks during the retreat, our practices will center around release, renewal, manifestation, and reconnecting with the wisdom already within you.

Across the weekend you’ll experience:

• Breathwork to release and reset
• Opening and closing cacao ceremonies
• Full Snow Moon manifestation ritual
• Moon cycle manifesting
• Crystal grids and altar creation
• Art therapy and manifestation
• Meditation and gentle movement
• Fireside reflection
• Sound baths for deep relaxation

This retreat is an invitation to pause, listen, and create space for what is next. Through the grounding stillness of winter, the illumination of the Full Snow Moon, and the creative spark of the Fire Goat year, you’ll be supported in releasing old patterns, clarifying your intentions, and stepping into your vision with more openness, courage, and heart.

You’ll also have spacious time to rest, journal, explore the snowy Lake Superior shoreline, enjoy Wild Rice Retreat’s on-site amenities, visit the sauna, attend daily yoga, walk the winter trails, or simply be still.

Your complete retreat agenda will be emailed prior to the retreat, along with optional reflection exercises to help you prepare for the experience. These exercises are not required, but they can support you in arriving with clarity, openness, and intention.
