In 2026, it is estimated that 70% of our global population has suffered one form of trauma or another. From there, we can gather that a staggering 1 out of 10 of these people will go on to live with PTSD or CPTSD.  Now, we gaze lovingly at the current estimate of our population that practices Witchcraft. Some 30% of the world has at least dabbled, and we can be assured that countless others are Craft Curious. So what then, of our communities that fall in that combined statistic of traumatized but wanting to explore the depths of their relationship to occult practices?

This one-hour workshop is created with the focused intent to support those who feel challenged by their lived experience when it comes to their witchcraft practice. We open our time together with an invocation and a breathing technique aimed at easing us into our learning and discussion. We’ll then move into a brief visual offering. From a lens of safety and being trauma-informed, we’ll look at the many ways that people can be visited by layers of trauma and the innumerable ways that they might be changed as a result. Then, in a most empowering way, we talk about how you might be able to develop a robust practice given the cards you were dealt. Attendees are then led into a brief guided meditation and sound healing before moving into the primary tool offered during our time together. After the demonstration and discussion, we will work together to practice the technique offered. Finally, those in attendance will be taken through an exercise designed to assist with the prolonged integration of the tools offered and topics discussed. We’ll end our time together with space for questions and dialogue,  as well as a moment in closing for us all. 

Again, this workshop is crafted for anyone wanting to reach further into their ability and looking for assistance. It should be noted, however, that teachers, stewards, and leaders benefit greatly from these discussions. All are welcome and encouraged to attend regardless of experience level.
