Hocus Pocus Retreat

Service Description

“Reclaiming the Witch” is an immersive, transformative night, designed to help participants reconnect with the powerful and ancient archetype of the witch. This experience blends historical exploration, spiritual empowerment, and hands-on activities, creating a holistic journey into the heart of witchcraft. Holistic Treatments: The night begins with a soothing herbal tea ceremony, where you will learn about the healing properties of various herbs traditionally used by witches. Following this, you’ll enjoy a mini holistic treatment to balance the chakras, helping to attune your mind, body, and spirit to the witch’s path. Core Ceremony: At the heart of the class is the Core Ceremony, a ritual designed to honor the witch’s journey through history and reclaim her power in the present. Participants gather in a sacred circle, where they are invited to reflect on their personal connections to the witch archetype. The ceremony will involve chanting, drumming, and the lighting of candles to symbolize the shedding of old fears and the embracing of new strength. Besom and oil Making: After the ceremony, we will create our own besoms (witch brooms). Besom-making is a traditional witchcraft practice, with each participant selecting natural materials like twigs, herbs, and ribbons to personalise the broom. As you craft, you’ll learn about the historical significance of the besom in witchcraft—both as a tool for spiritual cleansing and as a symbol of protection and empowerment. The act of creating the besom is deeply symbolic, representing the sweeping away of past doubts and the clearing of space for new, empowered energy. We will then create our own essential oil blend in an amethyst roller ball holder to use in our everyday practice. Fire Ceremony: As the night approaches, we will gather outdoors for a Fire Ceremony where we will encircle a crackling fire, symbolising transformation and renewal. During the ceremony, we wil chant together, using rhythmic incantations to raise energy and focus intentions. Each person is invited to write down something they wish to release—whether it’s a fear, a limiting belief, or a past hurt—and cast it into the flames, watching as the fire transforms their burdens into ash. This act of release is both cathartic and empowering, marking a significant step in reclaiming their inner power. Small Meal: After the Fire Ceremony, we will share a small, nourishing meal to end our evening.

Cancellation Policy

Please cancel your class with at least 24 hours notice. Failure to do so will result in loss of payment or class credit. If you need to cancel after this time, in an emergency , please contact Michelle. You are able to reschedule your class yourself up to 12 hours prior to the start of the class. Please note that we do not charge no-show fees like many other studios and so we rely solely on the mutual respect between ourselves and our customers. As tempting as it is to miss a booked class when your plans change, please respect that we still have to run that class. If we have several ‘no-shows’ this not only impacts the morale of instructors but the scheduled planned for that month. Classes with less than 6 students will be cancelled so keep a check on your notifications/emails. However, we do our best to avoid this happening. Thank you 🙏 Please see policies for further details.
