Presented by the North Wyldewood Tradition
Beneath the trees of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, join us for North Wyldewood’s Witch Day Retreat—a one-day immersion in ritual, magic, and sacred connection.
This summer gathering invites a small, heart-centered circle of Witches and seekers to explore the mysteries of Air — the breath of Spirit, the voice of intuition, and the whispering winds of change. Guided by the Elders of the North Wyldewood Tradition, you’ll spend the day in sacred space, engaging in powerful rituals, hands-on magical practices, and meaningful community.
Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just beginning to walk the Spiral Path, this retreat offers space to reconnect — with yourself, with the natural world, and with the Divine, right here in NY.
Join us in the "Wylde"
Rituals and Rites
The day will be framed by two guided rituals drawn from the North Wyldewood Tradition—beginning with an Opening Circle to connect, and set intentions, and closing with a ritual to seal the work, and carry the magic forward. These sacred moments offer a chance to step fully into ritual space, honor the Element of Air, and invite meaningful change into your life.
Workshops & Experience
You’ll take part in a series of immersive workshops focused on elemental magic and ritual arts—taught by experienced co-High Priestesses JoAnna and Denise, and other Elders within the Tradition. These sessions are designed to awaken your connection to the land
Sacred Community
We’ll gather beneath the trees in Prospect Park, sharing nourishing food, laughter, and sacred space throughout the day. Though the setting is close to the heart of the city, the spirits of nature are all around: North Wyldewood’s Witch Day Retreat is a time set apart for presence, connection, and magical practice in the heart of the Park.
A Sacred Circle, Intentionally Small
To ensure a deeply personal and meaningful experience, this retreat is limited to just 10 participants.
We’ve chosen to keep this gathering small so that each person receives space, attention, and the opportunity to fully engage with the teachings, rituals, and magic of the day. This is not a public ritual event - it’s a focused immersion for those who feel called to deepen their practice in community.
If you feel that call, we invite you to claim your spot early. Once registration fills, we will begin a waitlist.
"There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough to pay attention to the story."
-- Linda Hogan
Workshops and Magical Explorations
Throughout the day you’ll take part in in-depth guided workshops, nature-based experiences, and magical practices—each designed to deepen your connection to the Element of Air and to strengthen your skills as a magical practitioner.
Here's a glimpse at what to expect:
Guided Nature Walk & Offerings
Led by a member of the North Wyldewood Coven, we’ll participate in a ritual nature walk: opening our senses to the land, connecting with the spirits of place, and gathering offerings in gratitude to weave into our shared ritual work throughout the day.
Divination and the Art of Asking:
An exploration of crafting excellent questions for divination. We’ll uncover what makes a question powerful, how to avoid common pitfalls, and how to treat divination as a conversation with the sacred, led by Coffee and Divination host JoAnna Farrer.
Magic Around the Air Altar
Together, we'll build a shared, altar to the Element of Air, built from offerings gathered during our nature walk. This sacred space will hold our intentions and invite reflection, invocation, and spontaneous magic throughout the day.
Incense Crafting: Blending Breath and Intention
You’ll be guided through the basics of incense crafting, with materials provided so you can take home a small blend of what we create together. We’ll explore the magical correspondences of herbs and resins, and how to craft blends that support ritual, spellwork, and devotional practice.
Sigil Design & Creation
A North Wyldewood favorite: our workshop on sigil design and magic, with ritual practices and a guided journey to connect the elements of spellcraft to larger ritual workings.
Guided Journeys and Ritual
Led by North Wyldewood High Priestess Denise, this circle will offer space to reconnect with the parts of yourself that long for safety, joy, and recognition. Through reflection, breath, and simple ritual, we’ll hold compassionate space for healing and integration—inviting the Inner Child back into the circle of your power.
