Keynote Event
THE SECRET INTELLIGENCE OF WATER
By Veda Austin
Author and Artist Veda Austin makes a quantum leap from the spring board of Masaru Emoto’s microscopic work with ice crystals, that allows us to view water as an intelligent force, with the power to respond to human consciousness in ways never before thought possible. In this talk Veda talks about humans as bodies of water, what that means for us, and specifically the Wild Waters of Women!

The Mushrooms Apprentice
By Shonagh Home
Sacred Mushroom: The Making of a Medicine Woman.
Of Celtic heritage, Shonagh follows the wisdom of the ancients and serves as a Bàn Draoi (dree), Gaelic for a Celtic medicine woman/seer. As a modern medicine woman, she brings her connection to nature and the spirit worlds into her retreats and private sessions. For the past 12 years she has apprenticed herself to the mushroom teachers, who have led her to profound connection with the spirits of nature and her ancestral roots. She is a seer who specializes in shadow work, delving into the rich territory of the deep psyche. In this talk Shonagh will speak to working with spirit intelligences through the mushroom.

Roundtable Discussion
Is Magick Really Real? For real?
- When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
Let’s explore the impossible together with the Magickal Women who live it!
Workshop
THE ALCHEMY OF MUSIC
By Laura Watkins
We all have experienced the effects of music on our souls. It can take us back in time to some of the most important occasions of our lives. But what if music could be used alchemically to heal, remove things that no longer serve you, or express creativity? In this workshop, Laura will take us on a journey into the alchemy of music and teach us how to use this powerful tool in our lives!
Other Ways of Knowing
by Vanese Mc Neill
Entering Pharaonic Consciousness
As the Magical Egypt Series producer, Vanese’s work has led to questions like, “How did the Ancients know?” “How were they so very smart?” “How did they do the things they did?
To answer these questions, Vanese has had to travel down many disparate rabbit holes researching topics like Kundalini, PSI, Imaginal Realms, Tantric Practices, and Entheogens, all congealing into an idea presented by Schwaller De Lubciz of Pharaonic Consciousness. In this stimulating talk, Vanese shares revelations from her team’s investigation of the archeological record that suggests that the ancients had a highly developed science of consciousness, how that reconfigures how we should think about our ancestors and how we can take advantage of what has been found today!

Workshop
The Art of Temperance, from the Initiate’s Way
By Jade Maleny
Jade in an artist and author of the Initiate’s Way book and Cards
Jade will give an introduction on how the Initiate’s Way came to be. What it is. And how it can be used for healing and spiritual development.
The Art of Temperance pathworking is from a series of 22 Pathworkings that make up the system of the Initiate’s Way.
Jade created the pathworkings first, and the went through the awakening journey with a small magical group. The Arcana of the Initiates Way were painted after these magical spaces were brought to life, as healing spaces that can be visited for spiritual development and connecting with your true nature!
At the time of the Winter Solstice it is the perfect moment for putting ones self into the Cauldron of regeneration.
The Cauldron is the source of inspiration, creativity, wisdom and knowledge. Before you can put yourself in it you have to know where to find it! The Cauldron is the vas; the womb of the great Mother, and through her you can recreate your world from within.
In the workshop Jade will lead you through the pathworking, into the cave of the Initiates to meet with the masters and ancestors who have gone before you. To begin your rebirthing process along with the re-birth of the light!
