π This Samhain we Return to Pendle to recreate the magic of our Original Pendle Retreat first held in Samhain 2018. π§ββοΈ
π€ Join us this Samhain, Saturday 26th October to Sunday 27th October as we honour the 12 ACCUSED Lancashire Witches better known as the Witches of Pendle Forest who suffered INJUSTICE for being victims of the times in 1612. π«πΈπ·
10 were hanged (8 Women & 2 Men), 1 Sister died before the hearing, and 1 Sister survived to tell the tale. ππ
To this day Pendle has never recovered from this injustice with the spirit of the accused witches still lingering in the mists from Pendle Hill to the Malkin Tower. We will try to rectify this Injustice, by hearing the words of the accused witches in Ceremony helping to bring Peace/Light back to Pendle.
During our 2 day retreat, we shall journey and embody our beloved Sisters and Brothers, following their story of injustice. We shall honour their names in ceremony, chant song and craft to the heart of their being. Allowing the voices of those who died to be heard again as we sit in circle.
Our retreat is one of justice, empowerment, awareness, confidence and belonging as we honour our strengths and beliefs. You will learn to heal your own injustices, allowing your emotions of fear, rejection and sorrow to come to the surface. This retreat is not for the faint-hearted. We will stir the cauldron and journey with the Dark Goddess to bring the light back into our lives. Emotions will be awakened, healed and rejuvenated.
Please arrive on Saturday at 10 am for a 10:30 am start, and we finish on Sunday at 5 pm. On Saturday we will have lunch around 1 pm and then break for evening dinner around 5 pm you may use the Halls Kitchen facilities or join us at the local pub for delicious home-cooked food. We shall regather at 7:30 pm for our evening ceremony, ending our evening with a witches brew and some sacred chants or should I say cackles.
On Sunday we shall wake for breakfast and carry on our journey with the witches, after lunch, we will take our retreat outdoors and explore the sacred hills, historic buildings and get a sense of how our accused witches lived as we look at their landscape. Finishing at around 5 pm.
Overnight accommodation is provided free of charge at the (Barley) village hall, you will need to bring bedding with you (Air bed/Mattress, Pillows, Quilt, Sleeping Bag etc, we will have some spare items for you to use.), the Hall will be thoroughly heated so don't worry about getting cold, it would be wonderful if we all stayed together but hotels and inns are a short walk away in Barley Village.

Saturday's main dinner will be at the local pub (dinner not included in the price) alternatively there are some shops nearby, and you may use the kitchen facilities in the hall. π½
