The Midsummer retreat sounds amazing Bex! I suggest Sweden as a great place to host it, Midsommar is celebrated religiously here and there are so many witchy/pagan sites to visit around the country which would be perfect!

We were beating drums on the River banks until 1am that night. Was fun. Earlier that day I collected 10 yard/lawn trash bags full of rubbish to dumpster. Trying to clean up this river is a never ending war.

I love this so much and find myself so drawn to a similar philosophy of "practical magic", or understanding the science and psychology entwined in the practice. I would like to bring the Redwood Forests of Humboldt County in Northern California to your attention for potential retreat locations. The old growth forests can be as old as 2,000 years. The first time I came here their ancient wisdom washed over me in the most profound way and I would love to experience a family friendly retreat here. Thanks for doing you out loud for us ❤
