Winter has a way of asking us to slow down. Not with force, but with a gentle invitation: to soften, to breathe, to listen. In a world that constantly asks us to move faster, the weeks around the year’s end offer a rare, unstructured space — a threshold between what has been and what is beginning to take shape.

For the past years, I have turned these twelve quiet nights into a personal ritual. Modern life rarely allows us true stillness, so I carve it out intentionally: late in the evening, after dinner, hidden in a small corner with a warm blanket and the softest light. I call it “returning to myself.” And it always brings me back — to clarity, to gentleness, to a sense of rootedness that feels like home.

This year, I wanted to share this experience in a way that feels accessible, calm, and quietly transformative. The result is ….

En Brillance: The Rooting Retreat, a 12-night digital workbook-guide.

Why these 12 nights matter more than we think

There is something unique about the days surrounding the year’s turn. They stretch in unusual ways — slower, softer, almost suspended. Many traditions, both ancient and modern, see this period as a time of transition: a pause between cycles, a window where the old releases its grip and the new has not yet fully formed.

You don’t need to follow any specific belief to feel this shift. You simply need a moment of quiet.

Each night of the Rooting Retreat offers small practices:
a candle lit, a breath taken, a window opened, a memory revisited. Nothing complicated. Nothing heavy. Just enough to nudge your awareness inward. Paired with each ritual are reflection questions.

The goal is not to reinvent yourself or make ambitious resolutions. It is to meet yourself where you are, with softness. Over time, these small moments accumulate into something meaningful: a clearer sense of what you carry, what you want to release, what you long for, and who you are becoming.

A Personal Suite for a Personal Journey

To accompany this retreat, we created a visual world — a quiet, virtual suite inside the soon-to-open Spirations 360° Hotel-Refugium, arriving in 2026. Think of it as a calm digital room you step into whenever you seek stillness. No screens demanding your attention.

The En Brillance: Rooting Retreat includes :

• a 12-night digital workbook-guide
• twelve nights, each with its own page; twelve rituals; twelve reflections; and a growing sense of grounding as you move from night to night.
• a “mindmap of becoming” that helps you trace the shifts
• beautiful illustrations
• networking with other participants (if you wish) via Instagram stories @spirations360
