A Winter Witches Reflection
Sitting in this glimpse of sun on the first day of my bleed, on the new moon in Virgo
It feels like an apt moment for a Winter Witches reflection
Winter Witches, my second time running a retreat EVER in just 7 months
After Pussy Palace Vacation and it's glorious, expansive, orgasmic, ecstatically yang energy- I knew I wanted to create a yin retreat
One that honoured the slowness of the intuition, the magic, the connection to nature, the witch.
There is so much about the experience that I never can and never will share…
Women's / femme mystery work is historically secret.
Not only because it is sacred work, but because to hear it out of context of actually living it, simply wouldn't make sense...
Many of the sisters on the retreat said if they'd known what we would do, they may not have come...yet they were so glad they did.
There is a moment etched in my memory that I do wish to share…
Everyday of the retreat seemed to be gracing us with marvellous spring weather, blue sky and warm sun - I joked that it should be called Spring Witches…
But on the fourth consecutive day of sun, when it came time for our embodied witch photoshoot
Everyone brought their clothes to the living room to share witchy outfits
Got dressed up in their own unique witch essence
A storm came rolling in
In haste we made our way onto the land to spots we'd each noticed on our land journeys (another workshop where everyone went in silence to sit on the earth and listen to its wisdom)
Finding a gorgeous tapestry of trees and fallen twisted witch branches we rushed in to occupy a spot our witch wanted us to go
Yet...though you see this photo and think how confident and powerful we look...
The truth is this first photo was the most awkward for many witches!!
They had never been photographed before, felt uncomfortable, awkward and even embarrassed.
We'd had a whole plan to slowly warm up to being photographed, but as the clouds grew more ominous we abandoned all plans and went straight to shooting
I called upon all my hype girls to take charge: being woo'd, complimented and encouraged by sisters is one of the quickest ways to break the barriers of self consciousness
The moment we chose our next location and began to shoot the heavens opened up
It felt like nature was beckoning us to embody our wild, uninhibited, ‘who gives a fuck’ - Witch to the next degree
As each sister stood in front of the camera the rest of us huddled under umbrellas or fully fronting the rain bellowed truthful compliments:
"YES YOU HOT MILF"
"YOU ARE A LITERAL SEX GODDESS"
"SHOW US THAT BEAUTIFUL FACE WORK IT"
My intention for a slow build up workshop was swept away with the wind and things got....frankly unhinged
And that's just it..
When you create a space for women to connect with parts of themselves like the witch, or the Queen or the slut,
At one point even as a facilitator, you are no longer in control
Life is in control, what needs to be seen and felt and heard comes through like a burst of green grass cracking through the cement on a city sidewalk
The truth of the feminine is untamed, is unhinged, is mysterious and God damn powerful like the peak of a storm.
And so it is with certainty that this witch declares, Winter Witches was the second of many many many retreats I will be running in my life.
