The veil grows thin…

October brings shorter, colder, darker days, and the shadows grow in strength as we once again enter the season of the witch. Join us 'beyond the veil' this Fall for a weekend filled with tarot and magic set among the forest and beaches of the southern Washington coast. We will embrace the darker half of the year with this mystical retreat, which takes place at the charming, vintage Sou’wester resort.  A small group of women will gather to explore tarot, astrology, earth-based ritual, and witchcraft traditions to refresh, recharge, and inspire your inner witch. Enter a sacred and supportive community to empower your intuition, celebrate and connect with the season, and ignite some magick! After putting this retreat on pause for the past two years, we are more excited than ever to return to this beloved seasonal tradition, and we hope you will join us.

Who Should Come?

The Beyond the Veil retreat is ideal for women-identifying persons who are inspired to weave a magical experience to mark the changing of the season. This conscious celebration helps us to align with nature’s rhythms, walking in the footsteps of the ancients as well as creating new traditions to mark this vital time of year. Women in any place in their magical, spiritual journey are extended an invitation. Come with an open mind & heart, a willingness to share & learn, and help create a unique & beautiful community.  Basic tarot knowledge is helpful, but is not required. We will use tarot as a way to connect to the season and its magic. This retreat is ideal for women-identifying persons.

Over the course of our weekend together, our mission is to align you with the magic beyond the veil that is Samhain. Through guidance, ritual, and your own personal practice, may you return home feeling renewed and ready to embrace the darker half of the year.

*We welcome a diverse age range, 18 years and up.

Your Guides

Suzy and Alana first joined forces in 2011 through a tarot and astrology business 'Psychic Siamese Tarot'. With an early passion for the supernatural, they have both been studying and practicing the arts of tarot and astrology for more than 20 years. This knowledge is at the core of their personal and professional practices.

In addition to a love for tarot, Alana holds a deep interest and reverence for Celtic and Hellenic spiritual traditions. She studies with Mara Freeman, an internationally recognized British author and teacher of Celtic wisdom and the Western Mystery Tradition. Alana is a member of The Fellowship of Isis, based in Ireland, which honors the good in all faiths and the Divine Feminine in all of Her forms. Drawing upon her experience in education, art, dance, and music, she is honored to share her knowledge with others called to the path.  

Suzy is the owner of Chariot — where she has woven together her multiple passions in life: being a creative, a healer, and a spiritual teacher. Astrology and tarot are her main tools when working with clients, but she also incorporates spell-casting and sacred talisman-making in her services. She has studied with various astrologers and mediums over the past decade and continues her path toward self-understanding and wisdom. You can stay up to date on her astrology forecasts and musings by joining her ‘New Moon’ email newsletter. She is a Certified Tarot Professional, recognized by the Tarot Guild, and a graduate of a 3-year intensive traditional astrology school.
