Winter Witch Retreat

10-13 December 2026, Ireland

A special final retreat of the year…

Due to high demand, I’ve opened one final and very special retreat for 2026 - an intimate Yule Edition held in the winter stillness of Ireland.

Created as an unexpected extra gathering, this retreat is an invitation to slow down, turn inward, and prepare to welcome the sacred festival of Yule through ritual, folklore, and seasonal practice.

That is what makes this retreat so rare:
a final winter circle, held at the threshold of Yule, in one of the most beautiful and atmospheric settings in Ireland.

What You’ll Experience

☽◯☾ Yule preparation rituals and winter witchcraft practices

☽◯☾ 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.

An ancestral Irish country house on a 600-acre private estate, with a lineage that reaches back to 1702.
A secluded sanctuary for circle magick, storytelling, and deep rest—surrounded by ancient woodland and quiet gardens.

What Witches Are Saying

  • The whole retreat was a beautiful experience from the lovely hostess, Penny, to the magical retreat space. I attended the one in Ireland and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The new Sisters I met were lovely and we will stay connected, the place we stayed felt like a fairytale and the workshops helped uncover new layers of depth to my healing and authentic self. Thank you, I highly recommend anyone reading this to allow themselves to have an experience that is aligned with their soul's yearning.

  • Penny chooses the most beautiful, magical places for her retreats that will leave you in AWE! I may be biased, but I think the most amazing people are drawn to her, and the energy between participants was immediately so warm and inviting with so much care and love. I will also say, as a lesbian and gender non-conforming person, I felt very safe, included, and respected throughout! I haven't always had a good experience in these types of setting in the past, and Penny's retreat totally healed some of those wounds for me. I still get chills thinking of some of the things I experienced at the retreat! Penny is very inclusive with a gentle, loving energy and I learned so much. Thank you, Penny!

    Peyton D.T. (Ireland Retreat 2026)

  • This retreat was everything I expected and more. Thank you for your guidance, love, patience, and acceptance. You have a genuine gift of bringing others together, meeting us where we are, and leading us forward on our journey with grace.

    Tiffanie L. (Tuscany Retreat 2025)

  • Penny, this has been the most amazing and beautiful experience. My soul has been replenished in ways I did not know I needed. The sisterhood I have found here is irreplaceble and so precious to me. Thank you so much for everything - you are the most uplifting and tranquil soul.

    Sam F. (Tuscany Retreat 2025)

  • I worked with Penny for a year in online 1:1 sessions, so I already knew how professional and talented she is. Attending her retreat in Italy was truly life changing. I loved the balance she created between yoga, witchy practices, and free time. It was such a nourishing, unforgettable event.
