~Under the Witching Tree~
A Traditional Tree Lore and Folk Magic Program
Taught by Corinne Boyer
Join us this winter for a year long online program dedicated to learning about traditional tree lore and folk magical practices. There are two classes per month, three hours per class. In each class we will learn about a different tree and a related folk magical topic. There will be homework assignments given and time to share results and experiences, as well as ask questions, during each session. Handouts will be provided and many magical objects and recipes will be shared during class time in order to inspire hands on folk traditions and spirit work.
Sign Up: A year-long commitment is ideal but a three month minimum commitment is required. A 30 day notice is requested in order to leave the program. People can join at any point and still complete the entire year, as it will continue year to year. Class size is limited.
Cost and Deposit: $150 per month, $75 per class. There is a $150 deposit that is nonrefundable if you decide to cancel your enrollment. It will pay for your last month of classes. Payments are due on the first class day of each month, each payment covering two classes and are made via Paypal.
