WAKING up
the WITCH
Accordion Tab Title 1
An immersive weekend in the South Downs
courting the wild and sacred.
A magical immersive weekend focusing on soulful nourishment, myth telling, story weaving and crafting of ceremony and ritual.
You are invited to join us at The House at The Edge, a beautiful cottage in the South Downs National Park, accompanied by Emma Collins, Kate Fismer, Alex Galviz, three witchy women who have been unravelled and courted by the wild.Â
We have danced long nights at the threshold of intuition, magic and mystery.
We have been dreaming of you, barefooted with the earth between your toes. We are calling all those whose hearts yearn for wonder, enchantment, nourishment and boldness.
Are you ready to join us
and court the wild edge?
If you feel called to explore mythtelling,
ceremony and ritual. If you're longing to be rooted
and claimed by place and to deepen your relationship with the more than human and unseen worlds.
If you seek the profound, the mystical, and the otherworldly.

Space to grieve and lay down sorrows, to be tended to by others,
both the human, unseen and living worlds. -
