Witchcraft Retreat
16-19 April 2026 - Ireland
Ireland keeps its secrets in the hedgerows—hawthorn, blackthorn, ash—and in the low hum of mossed stones. At the turn of spring, the forest breathes us back to life.
We will enter as witches have always done: with offerings, incantations, and circle magick, listening for the whispers of the Aos Sí (faerie folk) and the spells hidden in the trees.
This is a weekend to unhurry your soul, entwine yourself with land and lore, and remember the witch you were born to be.
What You’ll Experience
☽◯☾ Forest Bathing Rite: a sensorial pilgrimage through wild woodland - slow walking, breathwork, and land‑listening.
☽◯☾ Faerie Lore & Etiquette: stories of the Aos Sí, hawthorn guardianship, barrow mounds, offerings & boundaries.
☽◯☾ Witchcraft Workshops: practical and folkloric spellcraft sessions weaving magick, faerie lore, and seasonal rites.
☽◯☾ Night Circles by Fire: Storytelling in the seanchaí style, cacao/tea, and spellcraft for protection & renewal.
☽◯☾ Kundalini Yoga & Somatic Healing: embodied practices to awaken energy, release tension, and root your witchcraft in the body.
