What we’re about
Roots and Realms (formerly Greenwich’s Conscious Community)
Welcome to Roots and Realms—a living, evolving space where earth wisdom and expanded perception meet.
This group began nearly 10 years ago as a meditation circle. It has since grown into something deeper: a place for grounded mystics, intuitive explorers, and curious seekers to come together in direct experience.
We gather in two main ways:
Spiritual Gardening Experience (weekly, seasonal)
Hands-on work with the land + subtle communication with the spirits of the garden.
We grow food and medicine while listening intuitively to what the Earth wants to teach us. Light physical labor + deep energetic presence = real magic.
Trance Labs with Green Witch School of Practical Magic (monthly)
Group explorations of altered states and non-ordinary perception.
We experiment with:
- dropping into trance/hypnosis quickly
- Making objects disappear from awareness
- Perceiving what isn’t physically there
- Forgetting known information (like names or numbers)
- Accessing intuitive insight from the collective field
These aren’t lectures or passive meditations—they’re mystical laboratories for consciousness work.
Who This Group Is For
- People called to the edges of perception
- Those who want to experience something beyond talk
- Seekers of both roots and realms—earth and ether, structure and spirit

### Trance Formation for Transformation
A hands-on workshop to unlock the power of trance as a conscious, repeatable skill.
You already sense there’s more beneath the surface. You’ve had moments of deep intuition, energetic shifts, or spiritual clarity—but don’t always know how to access them on purpose.
What if you could enter those sacred states anytime you choose—and use them to gain insight, shift energy, and activate real change?
This immersive workshop is for spiritual seekers, intuitives, and magical practitioners who want to go deeper—not just experience altered states, but understand and master them. Whether you're new to trance or looking to refine your practice, this class offers a grounded, empowering foundation in one of the most essential spiritual skills.
***
What You’ll Learn:
• How trance has been used across magical and healing traditions
• The neuroscience of altered states and what’s really happening in your brain
• A simple, reliable method to enter trance anytime—no tools or scripts needed
• Why your exit from trance matters as much as how you enter it
• How to use trance for intuition, energy work, spirit connection, and more
You'll observe real-time demonstrations, practice techniques yourself, and receive guidance to help you enter and emerge from trance with clarity and confidence.***
This class is for you if you:
✓ Do readings, healing, or spiritual work and want to deepen your connection
✓ Meditate or journey—but want more consistency, depth, or understanding
✓ Want to trust your inner wisdom more fully and stop second-guessing yourself
✓ Feel called to learn the "how" behind the mystery—and walk between worlds with skill***
Led by Marija Mikolajczak, C.Ht., Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Dowser, and SchoolKeeper of Green Witch School of Practical Magic. Marija blends modern hypnotherapy with nature-based spiritual practices to support deep transformation and practical magic.

- New Moon Journey (September New Moon in Virgo)Artemisia Integrative Wellness Center, Stamford, CTUSD 40.00
The Green Witch School of Practical Magic New Moon Journey series.
The New Moon is nature’s sacred reset — a fertile moment when the Sun and Moon align in the same zodiac sign, plunging the night into darkness and offering a blank page for your intentions.
In folk traditions, ancient European lunar rites, and nature-based spiritual practices, the New Moon has long been seen as a time of powerful potential: a quiet pause to turn inward, listen deeply, and plant seeds for what you wish to grow as the Moon waxes toward fullness.
For thousands of years, wise people across cultures have honored lunar cycles for timing planting, healing, and spiritual renewal — recognizing the Moon’s influence on the tides of both water and the human psyche.
Each New Moon carries the unique energy of its zodiac sign, bringing opportunities to explore new themes, set aligned intentions, and journey into your subconscious through guided trance.🌑 Sept 22, 2025 — New Moon in Virgo

Discover the ancient art of trance—safe, natural, and deeply transformative.
Learn to enter these states with intention, unlock insight, and return clear, grounded, and ready to create real change. A 90-minute experiential workshop on altered states, for seekers, intuitives, and magical practitioners.
Trance is one of the oldest spiritual technologies—and one of the most natural. You’ve likely touched it in everyday moments: losing yourself in music, drifting into a daydream, or feeling so absorbed in a story that the rest of the world fades away. In magical and healing traditions, trance becomes a doorway—one you can choose to open—to insight, transformation, and connection with the unseen.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to enter trance intentionally, navigate it with purpose, and return from it feeling clear, grounded, and energized. You’ll explore:
- The history of trance in magical and healing traditions
- What modern science reveals about brainwaves and altered states
- The role of trance in intuitive development and energy work
- A repeatable technique to enter trance quickly and safely
- Why exiting trance properly matters—and how to do it
We’ll move between learning and doing—you’ll observe live demonstrations, be guided through your own trance journey, and have time for reflection and integration. Handouts will be provided so you can continue practicing after class.
Bonus for Participants: Completing this workshop gives you priority registration for future TranceLab sessions—our ongoing exploration of trance for healing, magic, and expanded perception.
This workshop is offered in-person only and alternates between two locations:
- The Barn at A Green Witch’s Garden in Greenwich, CT – a cozy, converted studio space (directions provided after registration)
- Artemisia Wellness Center in downtown Stamford, CT – a professional wellness hub with free parking and easy access
Instructor: Marija Mikolajczak, Certified Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Dowser, and Director of the Green Witch School of Practical Magic. Her work blends subconscious transformation with earth-based spiritual practices to help students reconnect with their intuition, inner wisdom, and the unseen energies that support real change.
