Witch Camp.
A multi-day immersive retreat held during Samhain, the most liminal and potent time of the year. We gather as the veil thins to slow down, turn inward, and engage with magic, mysticism, and ritual practice in community.

What This Is
An immersive return to earth, ritual, and your own inner knowing.
Witch Camp is a deep dive into earth-based spirituality and esoteric practice, guided by queer facilitators and allies. An open invitation to step beyond inherited frameworks and explore what mysticism means for you. Build the rituals, the beliefs, and the personal practice that fits your life.
This is a space for exploration and remembering. For learning and practicing. For asking questions, trying things on, and deepening your relationship with the unseen in a way that feels grounded, intentional, and alive. You do not need to arrive with answers. You only need a willingness to participate.
What Makes This Different
Not a lecture series. Experiential, embodied, alive.
Witch Camp is a yearly gathering devoted to deep dives into esoteric arts and magical practice. Each year the focus shifts, but the intention stays: we explore different ways of working with energy, symbolism, ritual, and mysticism in ways that are grounded, embodied, and meaningful.
This is not about collecting information. It is about learning how to move energy with care and intention. There is movement. There is ritual. There is laughter. There is practice you can feel in your body, not just understand in your head.
Summer camp for witches.
Halloween Night
The heart of the weekend.
As the veil thins, we gather for a Deity Dance Party. Everyone arrives embodied as a god, goddess, spirit, archetype, or mythic force they feel called to honor, explore, or play with. Ancient, modern, invented, remembered, forgotten. If it moves you, it belongs.
The evening opens in indulgence. High-end desserts and crafted elixirs prepared by Chef Jake and the Haus of H culinary team. Sweetness as offering. Pleasure as part of the ritual. A drag performer hosts and emcees the night, guiding the energy and drawing the room into joy, mischief, and movement.
When the clock strikes twelve and the fire burns high,
we gather in circle beneath open sky.
Deity-dressed, myth clothed in skin,
we call the corners and let the work begin.
Workshops & Practices
Curated flow. Embodied practice.
The focus is not on collecting techniques, but on learning how different practices relate, support one another, and move through the body over time.
Reiki attunement
Group attunement up to Level II. Bring an existing practice or arrive new.
Tarot beyond divination
Exploring the symbolic language and the archetypal patterns underneath everyday readings.
Spell jar workshop
Intention, material correspondence, and energetic layering as a working practice.
Universal laws
How the underlying laws of energy actually show up in magical practice.
Energy mapping
Understanding how energy moves within and around the body in real time.
Kundalini activation
Practices supported by sound, grounding, and integration. Held with care.
Ritual & ceremony
Embodied, not performative. The Halloween circle is the heart of the work.
Community
Shared meals, communal gatherings, and the kind of room you don’t find by accident.
How the Days Move
Four nights inside the thinning veil.
The week is paced around the veil getting thinner each night, with Halloween as the centerpiece. Nothing in the schedule is filler. Each container is designed to land somewhere specific.

Arrival + Opening Circle
Settle into the property as dusk falls. Opening circle, ground rules, and the first ritual to call the container in.

Practices begin
Reiki attunement, sound work, and the first half of the symbolic-tarot teaching. Energy mapping in the afternoon.
- Oct 31 · Fri
Halloween · Deity Dance Party
The centerpiece. A ceremonial Halloween circle followed by the Deity Dance Party. Dress as the version of yourself the veil makes visible.
- Nov 1 · Sat
Integration day
Spell-jar workshop, universal laws teaching, and kundalini practice supported by sound. Slower pace so the prior night can settle.

Closing ceremony + departure
Final ceremony, integration time, brunch together, then a comfortable departure window for travel.
Who This Is For
To all the witchy girls, gays, and theys: this is where you need to be for Halloween.
If standing around a suburban kitchen island listening to La Bouche for the fifteenth year in a row is not hitting the way it used to, you are probably ready for something else.
Witch Camp is for people who feel the urge to pull the veil back on reality and see what is going on. For those who want to spend Halloween doing more than dressing up or going out. For those who want to inhabit the thing they already are.
Witch, please. You already know.

Common Questions
Before you ask, a few answers.
No. Witch Camp is held for both lifelong practitioners and people brand new to ritual. The teachings are designed to meet you where you are without flattening for the beginner or holding back for the advanced.
We curate the room. Request an invitation, share a little about why this is on your radar, and we will be in touch with next steps and the option to reserve. We are not gatekeeping, we are protecting the container.
Private or shared bedrooms inside a single property just outside New Orleans, Louisiana (precise location shared with confirmed attendees). All meals are prepared on-site by the Haus culinary team.
Yes. Each guest reserves their own seat, and many people arrive with someone they trust. The container is built so chosen pairs and solos both find a place inside it.
Travel is not included. Once you are confirmed, you receive the exact location, recommended travel windows, and ride-share guidance from the nearest airport.
Tell us what you need. Witch Camp is built to be a sober-supportive container, and we work with each guest individually on access and dietary needs ahead of time.
Witch Camp is one container. Partial attendance pulls on the room. If the full window is genuinely impossible this year, write us anyway and we will help you decide between this year and the next.
Witch Camp happens
once a year.
For people who already know they don’t want a mediocre Halloween. If this is your thing, you don’t need more convincing.
