- Heal The Witch Wound: A Book-Centered 1-Month Mystery SchoolLink visible for attendees$33.00
A Mystery School is a place of initiation into the sacred — a living classroom where seekers are guided beyond ordinary knowledge into the realms of soul, symbol, and embodied wisdom. It’s a perfect way to integrate psychedelic experiences into everyday life. This particular course is for women who feel the ancient call to reclaim their magic, embody their true nature, and heal the wounds of suppression carried across generations. Using the book, Heal The Witch Wound by Celeste Larsen, as our map, we journey together into the mystery—integrating wisdom from plant medicine, depth psychology, archetypes, and the soul’s symbolic language.
This is a pay-what-you-feel-is-right model for all curriculum, workshops, and community connections for the month of September. It’s a great way to try out a Mystery School From The Fortress before we start our bigger journeys into Women Who Run With the Wolves and more!
- We kick off this quest with a virtual Shadow Femininity Workshop on 9/6 from 4-6pm. Plus more local, women-led workshops throughout the month!
- Mondays (9/15,9/22,9/28) 7-8:30pm virtual circles to discuss each part of Heal The Witch Wound
- Online course curriculum with:
✨ Archetypal & Symbolic Work — exercises to develop symbolic sight and archetypal awareness
🪔 Embodiment & Creative Practices — reclaiming the wisdom of the body and spirit
📝 Journal & Reflection Prompts — tools to deepen self-inquiry and integrationTogether we can work towards reclaiming the feminine for ourselves, our community and the world!
Group size is limited to keep the circle intimate and potent. Sign up here!
- Iboga for Addiction RecoveryNatural Grocers, Bend, OR
Join us for a talk with Erik Lowry as he shares his personal journey through an iboga retreat. Iboga is a powerful psychoactive root bark used for centuries in the Bwiti spiritual tradition of Central Africa for healing, initiation, and connection to ancestral wisdom. Today, it is gaining recognition for its unique ability to interrupt addiction, restore balance to the nervous system, and catalyze deep personal transformation.
Erik will describe what the retreat experience was like, what he learned about the science and spirit of iboga, and how this sacred medicine is being used around the world to help people break free from addiction. This event is ideal for those curious about psychedelic therapy, spiritual healing, or addiction recovery through plant medicine.
Co-facilitator: Michael "Mikey" Sagaert is a Death Doula and counseling graduate student who has walked his own path of healing through psychedelic experiences tending to addiction, particularly with LSD. He has witnessed powerful transformations in clients navigating addiction and recovery, and brings deep compassion to those journeys. Mikey holds space with warmth and openness, inviting others to explore their own stories in a safe and supportive way.
