Middlewood Upcoming Workshops
Celebrate the changing of the seasons through candlelight, tradition and creativity.
A Half-Day Retreat of Movement, Creativity & Connection
Summer Haven is an intimate half-day retreat created in collaboration with Brooke from Emerge Yoga & Wellness, bringing together movement, nature, creativity, good food and meaningful connection.
We’ll begin with herbal tea before wandering through the grounds of Middlewood, sharing a little of the homestead’s history, meeting the animals and exploring the gardens and herbs as we forage for botanicals to inspire our creations later in the day.
Brooke will then guide you through yoga, breathwork and embodied movement, followed by a gentle sharing circle with time to reflect and connect.
We’ll come together over a grazing-style shared kai before settling into the Middlewood studio for an afternoon of candle making. You’ll create your own candle to take home — a little reminder of the day and the space you made for yourself.

Middlewood Homestead × Emerge Yoga & Wellness
Where Spirit and Earth collide.
Celebrate the abundance, warmth, and joy of the summer season with a special Litha workshop at Middlewood Homestead.
Litha marks the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year and a celebration of light, growth, gratitude, and abundance. It is a time to reflect on what has flourished throughout the year and to share the blessings we have gathered with those around us.
In this special workshop, you'll create a beautiful handcrafted candle gift collection inspired by the season. Designed to be gifted, shared, or enjoyed in your own home, this workshop celebrates both the spirit of Litha and the festive season ahead.
