Ritual Architecture // Shadow Work // Tarot & Private Sessions
There is nothing like a good wintering. The deepest cold and longest nights deliver their own alchemy every time the wheel walks us through its darkness. This Winter I am looking forward to being a part of NEST By Roots Women's Winter Retreat from Friday 24th July until Monday 27th July in Kenthurst, south of Sydney.
On the Saturday of the retreat I will be offering two workshops.
Ritual Architecture
Ritual is an ancient technology that consistently delivers what modern devices cannot. Immersive and absorbing or as simple as you like, ritual is how we make our mundane lives magic. Explore far more than the basics of witchcraft, learn how these oldest ways support body, mind and spirit through anything and everything. Ritual Architecture is all about how to build real life practices and move your magic off screens and into your worlds. One of my favourite subjects and the raison d'etre of witchcraft and our Coven, your intention and application is what builds magic that is dependable and resourceful.
Shadow Work For Women
The holy trinity of feminine arts are intuition, self-care and the shadow. Explore their intersections as lived practice that weave through your life. Reconnect their broken links in a calm, compassionate and empowering way. As befits a good wintering and too this moment in humanity’s evolution, we are called to go deeper. This workshop from my own retreat is the foundation of the work I offer through my Shadow Dancer program, now in its fifteenth year. Real shadow work has never been more important to ourselves, our kin and our communities.
On the Sunday of the retreat I will be offering tarot and short shadow sessions, as a bridge to an online Shadow Portal coming this August with our next eclipse season.
About The Retreat
NEST Women’s Winter Retreat ~ a winter temple devoted to The Alchemist within us all.
Join the Roots sisterhood for NEST, our nourishing three night Winter retreat, where intuition awakens, ancient wisdom whispers and the sacred feminine remembers.
At NEST, we honour this part of the feminine that our culture often forgets: The stillness.
The sacred pause.
The enoughness of being.
This year, as winter cradles us in stillness, we will be revering the Alchemist within...
She is the heat in your chest when you speak what is true,
The quiet that falls when you finally do.
She is the thing you cannot name… but have always known.
She is the transformation of lead to gold… you were never shown.
She is the tide beneath the pull.
The yes behind the fear.
The thread that leads you home...
She is what stirs in the dark.
What refuses to stay small.
What keeps breathing through
every version of you that has answered the call….
What happens at NEST?
Fire ceremonies. Yoni steaming. Sauna rituals. Herbal alchemy. Tarot. Deep, meditative
embodiment practices. Slow yoga. Honest breath. Deep rest. Real silence. Meals made slowly. Giggles over hot tea. Ceremony that holds what words cannot.
We hold space for a room full of women done pretending,
willing to sit in the fire of becoming together.
This retreat is not about doing, proving, or performing. It is about remembering.
We remember our cyclical nature.
We remember how to rest.
We remember the magic of gathering as women in sacred circle, in song, in silence, in ritual.
