The weird thing I get out of alchemical retreats... + meet our retreat leaders
Our English word "weird" comes from the Old Norse "wyrd" - meaning the web of Fate or destiny.
The very weird, fateful thing I get out of alchemical retreats...
... is connection with other genius witches and magicians who then go on to become some of my most valuable confidantes and collaborators.
So for example...
... Laila Bernhardt and Lucy Baldwin, the Certified EK Coaches who will be leading the Babalon Retreat at the Omni William Hotel in Pittsburgh during the first weekend of June...
Laila Bernhardt - she's as much evil fun as she looks ;) check her out on Youtube
... well, I first met them in 2017 when they came to the alchemical retreats that I organized with my best friend, the Hermetic Healer Crystal Woodling.
In fact, without alchemical retreats and immersions, I just wouldn't have the amazing group of people around me that I have today.
That's one of the funny things about being really into into far-out stuff like "attaining lucidity, power, and joy in the dream of life via taking full somatic responsibility for my every experience"....
... most people don't want to take responsibility for what they ate for breakfast, let alone for the totality of their experience....
... so when you're into tantric sovereignty it means it can be a bit tough to randomly run into people who share your interests. ;)

Just not many people are into becoming lucid and empowered at this serious of a level.
And of course, the Pandemic has really slowed down the whole "meet and hang out with new friends in person" thing that can be so crucial to human happiness.
So, if you're like me and you've been cooped up for too long...
.... and now you're eager to have a chance to make more weird, fateful, in-person incredible connections with fabulous people who are deeply into magic....
... I hope you decide to come join us at the Babalon Retreat.
love,
Carolyn Elliott
