In this Reclaiming Core Class Weekend Intensive; Rites of Passage, we explore the tale of The Twelve Wild Swans and dive into the unknown with the Faery Queen, Fata Morgana.

We will dance, drum, sing, use trance, storytelling, and dream work. Diving into the myth of The Twelve Wild Swans we find the universal journey and challenge structure that can be of use in both our mundane and magical lives. We will examine our own lives and identify what our current rite of passage is. We will receive challenge(s), meet helpers and find our personal allies. We will develop our skills in dream exploration, learning how to re-enter a dream through trance, group trance, and pairs trance: learning how to lead a trance for another person. Together we will walk through the gates of mystery, work through our blocks, and emerge renewed!

About WitchCamp

Share in a week of Reclaiming style, earth based spirituality and magic. Come and study magic and ritual in a week long Intensive. Witchcamp is offered to women and men at all levels of experience. Newcomers can learn the basic skills of magic and ritual, working with the elements, movement, sound and the mythological and historical framework of the Goddess Tradition.

Advanced classes offer the chance to apply the tools of ritual to personal healing and empowerment, or a focus on taking the Craft out into the world, creating public ritual, ongoing groups, and healing issues surrounding leadership and power. This event is a deeply moving, life changing week and also a constant experiment in temporary village life. We will also look at ways of bringing this work and inspiration into our everyday lives. Creating powerful, joyful times.

This year WitchCamp will be held at the Mendocino Woodlands, located just far enough outside the town of Mendocino to avoid coastal fog. The camp is set among a mature Redwood/Douglas Fir forest, creating a beautiful, peaceful setting. The cabins are rustic, but pretty. Camping is also an option. A small river runs through the camp, which is actually the home of steelhead trout. To request a brochure, please send us an email with your mailing address.

What is an Intensive?

Seven days of ritual and magic. Designed for people who are dedicated to powerful spiritual learning experiences and personal growth. This intensive is not a festival. It will expand your unconscious awareness, push your edges and likely change your life. The intensive is sequestered for the entire 7 days. Please plan to attend the entire week. Also, we don’t allow children due to the intensity of the week.

How Much Does Witchcamp Cost?

Full details on costs and timelines are available on the registration page. The California WitchCamp organizers offer partial scholarships if you require financial aid. Please contact California Witchcamp to learn more. Reclaiming LA also offers  partial scholarships to WitchCamp. Please check back with us after April 1st for more information: reclaimingla@gmail.com.
