**REGISTRATION CLOSES MONDAY 12.01.2026 at 23:30** [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-wicca-study-group-2025-tickets-1975226735337?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-wicca-study-group-2025-tickets-1975226735337?aff=oddtdtcreator) A six-month course in the basic theory and practice of the Craft, focusing on a monthly ritual/magical experience that will give you a taste of what it is to practice Wicca. Have you heard about Wicca and wondered if it might be something for you? Have you always been curious about magic, witches and wizards, Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings and such things and wanted to give it all, somehow, a try? Have you been practicing the Craft on your own or with a group in some form and wanted to get to know some experienced, initiated Wiccans? Are are you simply interested in spirituality, perhaps have done some yoga and meditation, and wanted to give a western path a try? Join us for The Wicca Study Group and get a real experience of Wicca in a relaxed, fun, and friendly environment. We'll work with Wiccan philosophy and practice (focusing on practice), ritual, and magic. We'll connect with natural inner (and outer) sources of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, and we'll begin to learn to attune ourselves with the power of nature, both our own nature and the nature of trees and mountains and lakes and streams and the seasons and all the rest... As a Mystery tradition, Wicca cannot promise ultimate answers or unshakeable, immutable truth. Wicca has no Bible, no dogma, no Pope. It is a path not of belief but of practice and personal experience, not of ultimate answers, but of ever-renewing, fascinating questions. Not the peace of a Sunday afternoon, but an ever-deepening life of spiritual adventure. And it's fun! Wicca is a balanced path of both reverence and mirth. We hope you'll join us for what promises to be a fantastic spring of learning the Craft! **The Wicca Study Group will be held in English.** The (two) instructors are initiated, active Wiccans (British Traditional Wicca) with more than thirty years combined experience. **NOTE:** The Wicca Study Group is not initiatory training, nor is it required for initiatory training, nor is it the only pathway to obtaining initiatory training. It also does not guarantee access to initiatory training. It is simply a chance to get some experience of Wicca to find out if it might be with your thing, and/or to learn some things you can start practicing on your own. AND it is often an initial step for people who want to practice Wicca in a satisfying way on their own, or for people who, down the road, are seeking initiation. **The Wicca Study Group will Meet Once a Month for Six Months, will start at 20:00 and will run approximately 2-3 hours.** **You need to register before the beginning of the first session to take part. No joining in the middle as the lessons build on each other. We run the Study Group every year, so they'll always be another chance.** **The Event will be held in Vienna, Austria. In Person (not online). The exact location ( in Vienna) will be shared with participants after they have registered.** **The dates this time are:** 1. January 16- 20:00- 23:00 2. February 13- 20:00- 23:00 3. March 27th 20:00- 23:00 4. April 24th 20:00- 23:00 5. May 29th 20:00- 23:00 6. June 19th 20:00- 23:00 ***The registration purchased here is for all six sessions. There will be no additional charges, but for some sessions you might need to bring some materials to be used in the sessions. "Eye of Newt, Wing of Bat" and so on... ;-) Everything will be easily obtainable in Vienna, and we try to keep the costs low. None of it is something you need to (or even can) buy from us.*** Wicca is an eclectic, diverse tradition with many, many strands. The Wicca Study Group is based, loosely, on the vision of Wicca expressed in the book **Wicca: A comprehensive guide to the Old Religion in the modern world** by Vivianne Crowley. While not strictly required, we highly recommend buying a copy of the book to read through alongside the course- [https://amzn.eu/d/cLycdTW](https://amzn.eu/d/cLycdTW) Also If you're not sure about joining the course, reading that book would also be a fantastic way to get a sense of if our style of Wicca might be something for you. Please, if you have the means, do buy the book rather then download it for free. We get nothing from the purchase of the book, but know the author and as such would like to promote the karmic virtue of supporting writers of good books! :-) **Registration includes access to an online classroom where materials will be uploaded and the class can communicate with each other and with the instructors for the duration of the class as you attempt to put into practice what you are learning. Sessions will be (to the extent possible given what we are doing) recorded (audio only) and shared in the online classroom (along with any documents used) so you can review material, or in case you are unable to attend a session.** **NOTE: Clicking RSVP does not register you for the event- it's just a friendly "I want/intend to come". To come you have to apply, register, and buy a ticket below:** **You can apply, register, and pay at this link:** [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-wicca-study-group-2025-tickets-1975226735337?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-wicca-study-group-2025-tickets-1975226735337?aff=oddtdtcreator)

### A Contemplative Retreat for Inner Peace and Strength in a Demanding Life ### As one year quietly fades… and another gently approaches… there’s often a subtle pull inside. A sense… that we don’t want to fall back into the same old rhythms, the familiar patterns, the expectations that no longer feel alive. Something in us wants to begin differently — more consciously, more meaningfully. And for many of us, after years of building, achieving, and doing everything we once hoped for… another question begins to whisper underneath it all: **What truly matters now?** When the striving softens, and the world finally grows quiet… a deeper longing rises. Not for more to accomplish. Not for more to manage. But for something real. Something that feels like truth. **The Inner Pilgrimage** is for these exact moments — when freedom feels strangely heavy, when the old tools no longer bring clarity, when the next step is no longer outward… but inward. It isn’t about resolutions. It isn’t about goals. It isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about listening again. It’s about coming home to yourself before the year unfolds. It’s about giving yourself a gentle, meaningful inner boost — so you can begin 2026 grounded, clear, aligned… and quietly connected to what truly matters. ### **Essence** In a world that constantly asks for more — more effort, more speed, more responsibility — this weekend offers a simple invitation: Pause. Breathe. Come home. **The Inner Pilgrimage** is not a journey outward. It is a soft descent inward — into stillness, into presence, into the quiet clarity that has been waiting beneath the noise. You won’t be traveling far. But you may return changed. This is a space to rest. To listen. To rediscover the strength and peace within you that daily life so easily consumes. > The most meaningful journeys are not those that take us far away, > but those that bring us deeply home. ## **Program Overview** The morning begins slowly. A settling. A gentle arriving into your body, your breath, your presence. * A welcome into stillness * A quiet talk: *What does it mean to walk a pilgrimage of the soul?* * Guided inner reflection: *Where am I on my path right now* * Time for journaling, sensing, or resting * A soft morning of wordless presence — a Vigil of Stillness Short lunch break, softened… opened… ready for a different kind of listening. ### The afternoon continues in quiet. Not with effort, but with ease. * A meditation * A talk: *Coming home — living from what you discovered* * A gentle dialogue circle or short reflective moments * Tea shared in silence * Time for integration, writing, or contemplation * A symbolic closing ritual * Ending the day in silence, presence, and gratitude You return to your life not with pressure, but with clarity… with strength… with a renewed sense of direction from within. ### **Atmosphere** Soft. Unhurried. Warm. Human. A space where silence isn’t empty — it’s full of something deeper. A space where you don’t have to perform, pretend, or hold yourself together. Just be. As you are. Light, healthy snacks will be offered as a small act of *mindful feasting* — simple, nourishing, grounding. Nothing loud. Nothing forced. Just presence, warmth, and the quiet company of others walking their own inner path. ### **Good to Know** **Date:** Sunday, Jan 18th, 2026 **Time:** 09:30 am–5:00 pm **Location:** Vienna **Language:** English **Facilitator:** Dieter Langenecker – Modern Elder & Meaning Counselor **What to bring:** Comfortable clothing, journal or notebook, an open heart **Refreshments:** Light snacks and tea provided (breaks in silence) **Contribution** Participation in *The Inner Pilgrimage* is offered on a **trust and appreciation basis**. Rather than a fixed fee, you are invited to choose the contribution that feels right for you — one that honours both your current situation and the value you receive from the experience. As a gentle orientation: * **€ 30** · *Supported rate* – for those who currently need to care for their budget * **€ 45** · *Standard rate* – the regular contribution that sustains the event * **€ 75** · *Supportive rate* – for those who wish to help make the retreat accessible to others All contributions include guidance throughout the weekend, reflection materials, and mindful snacks and tea prepared in a spirit of simple *feasting*. (includes drinks, tea, coffee, and healthy cookies) Spots are limited to keep the space quiet and personal. **Dieter Langenecker** Modern Elder · Meaning Counselor [www.langenecker.com](https://www.langenecker.com "https://www.langenecker.com") **Watch this short video:** [https://youtu.be/oDIeSXdBhSo](https://youtu.be/oDIeSXdBhSo)
