About

Join us for a totally live, totally interactive magical Virtual Summer Solstice Retreat to explore our connections to the spirit of The Witch and our very own Gold Sun Energy, which allows us to fully show up in the world - for ourselves and the equality of All beings. Along with a small group of folks from around the country, you’ll enjoy a thoughtfully curated night + day of online metaphysical workshops - from psychic meditation to flower essences to tarot to spell work. We’ve gathered together some of our favorite feminist Witch City healers, mystics, and teachers to share their extensive knowledge and guide the group through a shared process of transformation. Since all the retreat workshops will be offered live, you’ll have the opportunity to really connect with other group members through smaller breakout discussions and hands-on learning. The Summer Solstice marks the day when we experience the longest period of daylight, when the Earth's poles has its maximum tilt toward the Sun. By reclaiming our right to The Witch and our own Sun Energy, we'll start to break the unconscious cycle of colonization that aims to diminish the power of what can never be owned - the Earth, magic, and our own spirits.

*Full scholarships available for BIPOC (Black/Indigenous/Person of Color). If this describes you please email info@nowagetravel.com.

SOLD OUT - Please sign-up for the Waitlist if you’re interested in future virtual retreats
