Green Witch Intensive

Susun Weed
July 8-11, 2010


I am Lady Iona, High Priestess and green witch.
For a witch, spirituality is life, and life is art.
My art is the wise use of the green.

Who were the witches? Could you be one? We’ll walk in the woods, find green allies, sing with the devas, make medicines, learn some botany, and touch the wild earth. We’ll honor ourselves as green witches and wise women in a high magic ritual, with optional green witch initiation.

4 days, 3 nights: $600. $100 deposit. Register here
Note: Intensives include meals and lodging and are for women only

 

"I spent a week with your mom [Susun Weed] on Vashon Island in February a few years ago doing a Green Witch Intensive with EagleSong. She gave me a deep rooting in my work with the plant spirits, from such a wonderful place of Spirit...I gained a lot from that week. In wanting more, I am so grateful that you have made the correspondence courses available". ~ Laurie

 

"I had a wonderful time at the Green Witch Intensive! There were about 20 women ranging from 16-60 and we were all interested in finding out more about wild plants, ceremony, the Wise Woman Tradition, and herbal remedies. Each of the women who attended brought their own experiences, knowledge, skills, curiosity, and humor. What fun we had! Whether shy or outgoing, the space is such that anyone would be comfortable. The food was terrific and the land is full of surprises, beauty, and wonders. The green witch initiation ceremony was something I will never forget! A very personal, spiritual, and powerful experience." ~ Green Blessings! Peggy

 

Yes, I want to register for the Green Witch Intensive !
