Witches live on the threshold of ordinary life, the edge of the village and the outer limits of imagination. Since we have an animistic and nature based spirituality spending time alone in the forest, communing with the energy of nature and listening to the trees is an important part of our practice.
A root in our sacred history is the study of the Ogham tree alphabet which connects trees with messages, healing and power. Sitting alone in the forest with the trees brings us into direct contact with this spiritual energy bringing peace, grounding and well-being. Our belief in the immanent divine, present in nature and within ourselves, the earth, wind, rain, and sun, directs us to experience the profound meaning of our true self within the tapestry of creation.
This summer at the Greenwood Sanctuary in Williamstown we will be offering a unique experience for 10 people to participate in a Forest Retreat Weekend. We will meet Saturday August 20th in the morning at the Greenwood Sanctuary have an introductory class on the meaning and purpose of the Forest Retreat as Wiccans practice it. Then we will give you lunch and take each person to their site. Monitors will be awake at the camp during the entire Retreat, in case someone needs assistance. In the morning we will bring you back to the camp for a post-retreat meeting and wonderful breakfast. Please book early if you are interested. A deposit of $50 is needed to hold your place.
