Beltane Witches Self-Love Retreat

 

Aligning with the neo-pagan holiday of Beltane, this retreat is a call to gather with us over the bank holiday weekend in the safety and sensual sorcery of the feminine!  In ceremony, with dance and connecting to the earth through plant magicK.

Over the weekend we will be releasing into the soft sensual sorcery of collective feminine energy, and using its magnetic power to transform ourself into a state of radical self-love!

 Working with plants as our guides, ourselves as our healers and the fire as our ancor.

You will come away with...

🔥A new found self-love for your body

🔥 Your own Aromatherapy Self love potion

🔥 A strengthened sense of your inner power and internal knowing

🔥A refreshed spirit, open hearted and ready for summer!

🔥New friends and nourishing connections

Beltane also known as Mayday is a celtic fire festival associated with love, fertility and union. This retreat will immerse you into the energies and folklore of Beltane, sharing its rich cultural history and lore, bringing old traditions alive and stepping into the sovereign power of the May queen, with a splash of nymph and Fae energy.

We will be reclaiming the wisdoms of witchcraft and plant medicine, and remembering the knowledge of the land by gathering outside in circle, and learning the properties of the wild flowers blooming at this time.

You will also learn the magic of aphrodisiacs and self love ritual, crafting your own self love potion to take home!

There will be optional Nudity for some rituals and it is an invitation to show up as you, are wherever you are at. We as facilitators will honour and hold this sacred safe space of Sisterhood welcoming all parts of you, we invite you to bring your whole selves along all shapes, all sizes and body tapestries of art and wonder.

The power of gathering on land in these times is not to be underestimated! As we gather in love and draw strength from the land, we can find safety in cracking open some of the darker parts of ourselves.

So come gather and join us to celebrate this liminal dance between spring and summer, so you can step into summer with gumption, stride, and a sense of your inner power and internal knowing!

Sometimes you need to get a little bit wild around a bonfire to unleash the softest parts of yourself. Sometimes it’s at the edges you find your freedom.

We cannot wait to welcome you, Phoebe & Arabella xx

Queer inclusivity ...

There is such a deep healing power of being in feminine collective power. This is a safe space for women and trans women. We will be healing through our bodies and not our wombs, not talking of sisterhood as a cis identity but an embodiment of the collective feminine and energy within you. We would love this space to be accessible to our queer community while still holding the energy of sisterhood. We welcome non-binary and trans masc folk however please contact us for a call or chat before booking, to make sure this is the right space for you on your journey.
