Practical
the
Magic
retreat
Grief work, witch work, and one very good margarita.
Spend 4 days with La Mort in Astoria, Oregon.
Join us for four days of replenishment, craft, and practical magic in the hazy hills of Astoria, Oregon this September. You and a small group of other death doulas, hospice workers, grief counselors, chaplains, and end-of-life caregivers will come together in a church-turned-historical-home to create and consume sacred plants, craft tools for deathwork, and of course - do magic.
This retreat will be held in honor of Practical Magic 2, which is premiering September 11th.
September 10-13th

Our Teaching / Learning / Creating Style at La Mort
We leave behind the polished, gate-keepy approach to education. We teach in ways that carry story and experience. We listen. We laugh (a lot). We go off-script sometimes. We cry (with you)(for those you’ve loved)(for those we’ve loved). We like science and studies and logical frameworks, but also mysticism and poetry and all that stuff. We really love to honor history and those who came before. We move through some serious curricula, but don’t take anything too seriously. We dedicate ourselves to seeing you, and want you to feel seen. We deeply honor our intuition and yours. We lead with integrity (always). And we welcome the odd-balls and misfits, because it takes one to know one.
