RCG-I Events: Hallows Gathering

October 21-23, 2022

 

 

Celebrate the Magic of Hallows!

She calls for us to assemble. She calls her daughters home. When the veil between the worlds is the thinnest, as we walk the labyrinth She reaches out to us to share Her wisdom and keep Her promises. For generations women have gathered at Hallows for celebrations, renewal and community. We invite you to join other witches from around the world for a weekend of stimulating discussion, workshops, self-discovery and sacred celebration. We will bring alive our past, honor our present and create our future.

Come join us and enjoy workshops, art making, ritual, market, walking the labyrinth and more!
