Retreat
Imagine spending four days immersed in the rejuvenating energy of the longest days of the year, all while learning to align your own rhythms with nature's cycles. Our retreat is designed to not just celebrate the light, but also to teach you practices that tap into the seasonal shift of the Summer Solstice. You'll explore your inner Witch with rituals, yoga, meditation, and nature-based activities that highlight the magick of the land mirrored within you.
These sessions are crafted to deepen your connection with the self, boost your mindfulness, and enhance your overall well-being.
Dive into hands-on workshops!
You'll leave this retreat not only rested and revitalized but also equipped with practical tools to incorporate the wisdom of the Craft into your day-to-day life. Think of it as a reset button; a way to harness the peak of solar power to illuminate your own life, improve focus, and foster growth—even long after you've folded up your yoga mat and the sun has set on this magical retreat
What you will learn
When I first put this retreat together, my intention was to craft an experience that would not only introduce you to the transformative power of aligning with natural cycles, but also offer you a structured, yet deeply personal journey into self-discovery and renewal. I've meticulously planned each activity to ensure it builds on the last, fostering an environment of growth, connection, and well-being. What I love most about how it's come together is that it's both nurturing and eye-opening. You'll find yourself supported by a community of like-minded individuals, all while being gently guided to explore practices that enhance awareness and inner peace. Trust me, no detail has been overlooked in making sure that your introduction to this journey is as seamless and enriching as possible.

How to get here: Sonoma County has a small airport with direct flights to several places throughout the US. (Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, Dallas, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Palm Springs and Burbank) San Francisco and Oakland airports are about an hour away and both have airporters that bring you to Santa Rosa. I can arrange pick ups at the Sonoma County airport or at the airporter drop offs.
