Sieze THIS magic by midnight TONIGHT!
I'm closing the books on my Witchcraft 1: Summer Solstice Retreat tonight at midnight.
Here’s the thing: if you don’t have regular, simple ritual practices you know by heart and ENJOY, you’re just a lot less likely to stay connected to your magic…
Life’s too hard, there’s too much going, we feel too overwhelmed. So whatever habit is easiest and most obvious is what we’re most likely to do. (Cue switching on the TV and falling onto the couch here).
For me, staying connecting to my magic means staying connected to my sense of purpose and my connection to the life force.
Magic shifts me from being a cog struggling to cope with living under the brutal, corrupting forces of capitalist colonialism…
… to a witch, committed to reweaving webs of enchantment throughout the living world, purposefully, in relationship, and in the spirit of care.
But again, the more you practice – especially in community – the easier it is to shift out of your cog shape, and stay in your witch shape.
This is why I’m holding my in person Summer Solstice Retreat from June 21-June 24th, so that we can all practice staying in our witchness together.
Together our magic will become automatic, easeful, joyful, and something we just DO.
Today is the LAST DAY to reserve your spot. Tonight at midnight PST I’m closing the books.
If you’re interested in attending Witchcraft 1: Summer Solstice, here are a few things you should know…

How Much: About $1,100
This is probably the cheapest sleep-over retreat you’re ever going to get with me because it’s my first one and I wayyyyyyy underestimated the expenses of putting one of these things together. I will not be making much with this retreat financially, but I WILL be gaining a lot in joy since I’ll have the pleasure of working with folks in person. But in the future I’ll have to raise the rates in order to make it more financially sustainable. So grab a ticket while the prices are still on the low end. (Note: we have a few scholarships available for a discounted rate for those in financial need, but they may have been all spoken for already, if you’re interested in those reach out to guardian@oracleoflosangeles.com - we’ll be making our final decisions about that tomorrow).
