In the stillness of winter, when the world feels at rest, there lies an opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the warmth that has always been within. For many, this quiet season offers the perfect space to remember who we truly are. It is in this sacred moment of calm that Sacred Ember, a winter wellness retreat, comes to life, inviting women to return home to themselves, to their quiet fire waiting to be rekindled.
Jenna Hinkel, the creator of Ascend and Awaken Healing, has woven this transformative experience from her deep understanding of natural healing and the quiet power that lies within every woman. Her journey toward this retreat began in the shadows of her own physical and emotional challenges, where she found herself navigating symptoms that felt unyielding. But instead of succumbing to those shadows, Jenna chose to lean into the rhythms of nature, sound healing, and herbal care. In doing so, she discovered the gentle but profound healing power that resides in each of us.
“Sacred Ember” was born from Jenna’s personal journey. It is more than a retreat, it is an invitation for women to slow down, breathe, and find their way back to the core of their being. The retreat’s essence is found in this powerful mantra: “I am not here to heal you. I am here to create space for you to remember who you truly are.” These words set the stage for the retreat’s profound impact. It is a time for introspection, rejuvenation, and self-discovery, offering a space where women can pause and simply be.
The Power of Stillness and Presence
The Sacred Ember Winter Wellness Retreat is a carefully crafted experience that encourages women to let go of the noise, distractions, and pressures of daily life. The retreat is held in the stillness of winter, where the natural world, often at rest, provides the perfect backdrop for healing. Surrounded by the gentle quiet of snow-capped mountains and peaceful landscapes, attendees are invited to breathe deeply, embrace the moment, and let go of what no longer serves them.
Each retreat offers a diverse range of healing practices designed to nurture the body, mind, and soul. Through meditation, movement, breathwork, sound healing, journaling, and the quiet guidance of nature, attendees are guided to rediscover their inner glow, the quiet ember that always burns brightly within. The healing practices create a space for women to rest and reconnect with the part of themselves that may have been overshadowed by the busyness of life. It is here, in this sacred space, that healing begins.
A Journey of Transformation

When Jenna Hinkel first created Ascend and Awaken Healing, she was driven by a deep passion for natural healing. Her work is a testament to her personal commitment to healing through connection to nature, sound, and herbal remedies. She speaks from a place of authenticity, knowing firsthand the power of embracing one’s own healing journey. Sacred Ember is an embodiment of this philosophy, where the focus is not on “fixing” women, but on creating a space for them to reconnect with their own inner wisdom and strength.
“Sacred Ember” is about creating a space where women can return to the rhythms of their body and soul. It’s about giving women the tools and support they need to remember the natural wisdom they carry within. Through gentle and intentional practices, Jenna helps guide attendees through their own healing process, empowering them to step into a life of balance, peace, and presence.
What Makes Sacred Ember Unique?
What sets Sacred Ember apart is its focus on presence and space. It is not a retreat designed to push, overwhelm, or fix. Instead, it is a sacred pause that invites women to rest, reflect, and rekindle their inner flame. The retreat’s structure is centered around the quiet and stillness of winter, a time when the natural world slows down, allowing attendees to do the same.
This approach to healing is rooted in Jenna’s deep understanding of the cycles of nature and the importance of living in harmony with them. Sacred Ember offers women the opportunity to reconnect with themselves by aligning their personal rhythm with that of the natural world. By honoring the cycles of nature and the wisdom that moves through all things, women are able to reclaim their authentic selves, shedding the layers of stress and disconnection that often build up over time.

The retreat also emphasizes community and connection. While the journey is deeply personal, it is also shared. The retreat offers a sense of belonging, as women come together to support one another in their individual journeys. Whether through group activities, shared meals, or reflective journaling, there is a deep sense of unity and sisterhood that arises during the retreat. Women leave not only with a rekindled inner fire but with a sense of connection to others who have walked a similar path.
