She is water,

Soft enough to cleanse you,
Deep enough to save you.

ARRIVE. GET SETTLED. GET DRESSED —
in your witchy (or any costume that shows a bit of your inner truth!) best, ready for a night of fun & merriment. GET READ — (tarot, that is) to either set an intention for the weekend ahead, or to answer any question on your heart. GET HAPPY (HOUR) — enjoy a sparkly, spooky mocktail with your name on it along with seasonal snacks, happy-hour style, of course. GET INTRODUCED — meet your other witchy sisters over a 3-course meal designed to turn you on & bring you fully online for this weekend of depth. GET FULL — on connection and nourishment! GET ALIGNED — for the weekend ahead with an opening ceremony including a communal altar building ritual. GET REST & get ready for Samhain with a deep night of vivid dreaming.
ARISE. GET CONNECTED —
to your intuition & inner guidance system. GET KITCHEN WITCHY — playing with herbs in our kitchen & on our land, preparing tea & a meal for Samhain. GET QUIET — to experience a “dumb supper” (brunch edition) where we tend to our ancestral connections. GET FREE — with a gratitude & release ritual, letting go of all that no longer fits in this season of your life. GET INKED — together, we’ll design a collaborative sigil in ceremony, and then for all those who desire, get it permanently marked on our bodies in tattoo form. GET READ (again) — with extended sessions available for anyone desiring to dive deeper into tarot with Taryn. GET MAGICAL — (Practical Magic, that is) with a movie & pizza night on the big screen, followed by “midnight margarita” sleepy mocktails (no Belladonna, we promise!) and a circle to close out this powerful day together.
COME ALIVE. GET PRAYERFUL —
contribute in the morning prayer to Grandmother Cacao, and learn more about how to work with her wisdom. GET OPEN — as we gather for a morning cacao circle to open our hearts & remind us of the magic we carry in every cell of our being. GET HEALED — through a very special Healing the Witch Wound experience to bring the weekend together and ensure you’ll never again forget your power. GET NOURISHED — after a morning of deep work, we’ll pour into ourselves with a seasonal brunch prepared with love. GET OUTSIDE — because nature is the greatest teacher of folk medicine, we’ll close our time out by offering gratitude to the land & giving back to the earth anything that will no longer serve & support us. GET READY — as the true magic happens from taking your truest self back into the world & inciting chaos, glory, and transformation, simply because you have remembered that YOU ARE A WITCHY WOMAN — and thank God(dess) for that.
Friday, October 31st - Sunday, November 2nd
It’s happened many times since we began gathering here: women beginning to feel more free, like their truest selves, and eventually… they start remembering. Remembering that we are meant to gather like this, in circles of possibility, honoring the elements of the earth, learning alongside plants, singing with the moon, communing with the seasons within us and around us, dancing in the carefree ways of ancestors who came before us —
In short… letting our inner Witchy Woman COME ALIVE!
“She dances with the spirit of the sun, loves with the strength of wild water, moves with the moods of the moon, and creates with the wills of the wind. She is magic. She is woman.”
– Brooke Hampton

We’ve been conditioned to be uncomfortable around the term witch. Notice if you, yourself, felt a certain way (excitement, fear, disconnect, disgust) when reading the title of this Gathering… and why? A "witch” is simply a person believed to have magical powers.
“witch”
a person believed to have magical powers.
…and don’t we all?
“I think that all women are witches, in the sense that a witch is a magical being.”
– Yoko Ono
During this extra special Gathering, which falls perfectly on the weekend after Halloween, as the autumnal season begins —
We will come together to remember each of our magical truths
We will commune with the land & learn to offer prayer & gratitude in this harvest season
We will learn from & alongside other witchy women about the power of crystals, herbs, energy, tarot, cacao, and of course, our own inner power
We will spend the weekend unafraid to be our truest, most free selves, surrounded by others committed to doing the same
We will dance in the moonlight & remember to be unafraid of our shadows
We will become our own versions of a “kitchen witch,” brewing up herbs, fresh food, & intentional nourishment to honor ourselves & our ancestors
We will experience the joy of ritual & gather the tools to be able to take it back into our lives to integrate our magic
We will practice ways to heal & care for ourselves in a world that has taught us anything but
We will remember; we will remember; we will remember… and we will do our best to never again forget.
"The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper."
– W.B. Yeats

ELYZA // The Harmony Mountain House
The Intuitive Witch
Elyza is a multi-tasking, multi-passionate mama who loves gathering people together more than anything else in the world. In recent years, she gave birth to The Harmony Mountain House, her sweet Sun Shayan, and pretty much an entirely new self... so to say that she is initiated into the Great Mystery School that is motherhood is pretty accurate. And thanks to this, she is always nurturing & loving on all who come here, reminding them of their magic, and cultivating transformative spaces for all those who are ready for their own healing journey. But don't get it twisted, she gets the cosmic joke of it all & always finds a way to bring fun to the spiritual path. On paper, she’s an 500ERYT yoga instructor with a focus on Yin, Kundalini, Meditation, Sound & pretty much all things “woo.” Her witchy style is spontaneous dance parties, deep convos around the campfire, and skinny dipping in the moonlight... if that's your kind of thing, too!

SARAH // The Harmony Mountain House
The Herbal Kitchen Witch
Sarah is a dreamy pisces (sun) whose inner child is loves to come out & play. She is the ultimate manifestor behind The Harmony Mountain House, where she co-stewards this sacred piece of land alongside her platonic life partner, Elyza, and a little one, Shayan, who lovingly calls her TeeTee. When she’s not actively in auntie mode (& sometimes even when she is), one of Sarah’s favorite places to be is in the kitchen, preparing nourishing meals infused with love (aka works of art) for guests & friends. Tending to, learning about, and connecting with sacred land is a growing passion of hers, that she adores sharing with others. Sarah is RYT200 Bhakti Yoga certified and has taken multiple Ayurveda & Botanical Food Medicine trainings, all of which guide the way she lives her life & the offerings she shares with the world. She is currently studying & practicing Folk Herbalism through the School of the Sacred Wild.

The Tarot Witch
Taryn is a witchy medicine woman, author and intuitive guide with a gift in tarot where she channels messages, seeing beyond the surface level to uncover deeper truths and patterns that can be worked through and then broken. A session with Taryn is so much more than a reading; it’s Tarot Therapy.

Her sessions are a safe space for exploration, reflection, and empowerment, inviting clients to engage with their inner wisdom and embrace the messages the cards have to offer.
Are you feeling the stirring within you to gather alongside other sisters who resonate with the “witchy woman” archetype, to revel in our ability to heal ourselves, to uplift the magic we came to this world to experience, to choose love over fear in both ritual and life?

The Witchy Woman Gathering
Fri, November 1 - Sun, November 3
“They called her a witch because she knew how to heal herself.”
– Unknown
“The archetype of the witch is as old as humanity. Typically, female, although not always, the witch is the one who brings healing through her use of powers connected to the deeper world. This, across cultures and times, has always been done in the spirit of rebellion against the so-called civilized world.”
– Unknown
TESTIMONIALS
“Witchy Woman was one of the best experiences I have gifted myself in all of 2023. A weekend of tuning into the witch in all of us, of changing the narrative of what we would consider the definition of a “witch” to be, and an honouring of ALL emotions, all feelings, all of the ways in which we get to experience life on this planet. I felt an immense connection with loved ones and ancestors who have passed on, and I was gifted the tools to connect further in my own practices in my own way—as well as ways to celebrate and honor Samhain amongst the other sabbats each year ! I will forever be a so so grateful for that weekend last year, as it was one of the most prominent catalysts to my own expansion since then :)”

“Calling all witches! Have you been looking for a coven to hang out with (or even join?!?) If so, the Witchy Woman retreat is something you won’t want to miss. I participated at last year’s gathering and the connections I made are still going strong, the guests brought in offered amazing experiences and the food was beyond delicious. We even had a Dum Supper that was so special. It was definitely a weekend of love, nourishment and fun for my witchy soul. This is your sign to come join this year. You will not be disappointed. ”
Taryn R.
“The Witchy Woman Weekend has been the most transformative experience at Harmony House so far. I went into the weekend not knowing anyone apart from Sarah and Elyza, and I left with a deeper connection to my own power and our collective power as women. The Witchy Woman Weekend was a safe place for me to explore my unique relationship with the magic of the universe.”
