Welcome !
Witch Moon retreat is a practical and experiential workshop introducing you to a variety of contemporary and traditional Witchcraft practices. It will be held over the course of a weekend in the beautiful hills of Rainbows Reach Retreat on the Central Coast of NSW.
DATE: Friday evening to Sunday afternoon 9–11 May, 2008. More Info...
The soul of our rituals is in the rhythm of the drum.
Come away with us and experience the modern Witch's craft that will change the way you see magickal practices. We train people in a contemporary interpretation of traditional Witchcraft using a fusion of wicca, thelema, shamanism and alchemy.
Over the course of the weekend you will experience rituals that are considered the foundation training for anyone seeking an in-depth experience of Coven Circle work. The Witch Moon retreat will be run by four experienced facilitators, offering a variety of techniques drawn from their own practices. The retreat is an opportunity to master your ritual skills in conjunction with visionary trance techniques and an introduction to dream symbol immersion. Your progress over the weekend will be supported by four dedicated practitioners who have worked collaboratively to make this event possible.
Your retreat facilitators are Tim Hartridge and partner Tori Collins, with assistance from Lisa Mason and Simon Goodey.
