Spring 2024 Witch Camp

April 26 @ 10:00 am - April 28 @ 11:00 am

Join us for an immersive experience in spellcraft & ritual as we come together as a magickal camping village for the weekend! This is a PRIMITIVE camping experience for adults (teen children allowed with a parent in attendance).
SPACE IS LIMITED
Our weekend will include educational workshops, spellcrafting, herbalism instruction & plant medicine creation, tool creation, divination sharing and engaging in community ritual together on 8 acres of woods in Traveler’s Rest, SC.
Every morning, we will begin the day with sun salutations & meditation. We will play, bond, commune and create together all weekend!
Our herbalist-in-residence, Kasey, will not only take us on a plant identification walk but also guide us in creating plant medicine over the campfire.
There will, as always, be a “New Witch Basics” class on Friday afternoon. New witches or those who want a refresher will learn some basics on protection, ethics, altars and magickal tools to give you a foundation for the remaining time together.
Watch our discussion area for details on our crafts, classes & rituals!

Unplug From Technology: We ask that you honor the sacred space we are creating here by not bringing laptops and such with you. Cell phones are fine, but as this is an “unplugged” retreat, we’d rather you not be focusing your energy and attention on things you find online on your phone, so please consider tucking them away just for emergencies or using them away from other retreatants. Please do not take photos or videos of fellow witches unless you have their permission.
