Starting in October…
PARTNERSHIP MAGIC TRAINING
In this intensive 9-month training, you and your partner will practice magical tools that will enable you to bring more consciousness to your life partnership. By connecting with the gods and with your own Higher Self and intentions, you will be able to work together consciously to break down destructive patterns and blocks to intimacy, to strengthen the cords that weave you together, and to raise your upper limit on love and happiness.
The training will consist of 9 weekend workshops (Oct 24-25, Nov 14-15, Dec 12-13, Jan 23-24, Feb 13-14, Mar 13-14, Apr 10-11, May 15-16, and June 26-27). Each workshop stands alone, and may be taken individually or in combination with any of the other retreats. The first workshop is open to singles as well as couples.
Leaders: WildCat and Fireball are experienced Witches (and lovers!) Both have learned to be conscious in love relationships through the school of suffering the consequences of being unconscious, and through the joy and struggle of creating a magical, conscious partnership together.

Saturday 10am-9pm (includes evening ritual) and Sunday noon-4pm
PREPARING FOR A MAGICAL PARTNERSHIP
With WildCat and Fireball
A magical weekend retreat for both singles and couples led by WildCat and Fireball. This work is an excellent preparation for couples planning to participate in our upcoming Partnership Magic series, but is also suitable for those who want to do individual magical work to improve their love relationships. We will identify and burn down unhealthy patterns we've created in our love relationships in the past, fall in love with ourselves (again), sow the seeds of the future by imagining ourselves in a healthy magical partnership that works on multiple levels, heal and clear our chakras to increase the flow of our life energy, and call in our life partner (or reconnect with our current partner).
Location: Rhiannon's Rest, our romantic, magical Victorian retreat on 6 acres in SW Austin. Cost is sliding scale $85-120/person. Camping on the grounds and/or indoor accommodations may be available for a nominal additional charge. For more information or to register email WildCat at wildcat.russell@gmail.com.
