The Cauldron: You are the MAGIC​
In a world of artificial intelligence, let us reconnect with the most ancient of technologies: CEREMONY.
​
In a world that seeks to isolate and separate us, let us gather together in sacred community to remember: WE ARE NOT ALONE.
​
In a world of uncertainty, let us attune ourselves to the RHYTHMS of Nature and the CYCLES of the Moon.
​
WELCOME TO:


Join us in The Cauldron: You Are the MAGIC for a transformative year-long experience designed to awaken your innate spiritual power, deepen your connection to the elements & ceremony, and align yourself with the rhythms of nature and the moon.
​
This program is for seekers ready to step into their magic, live a ceremonial & seasonal life, and walk a path of spiritual & personal transformation. Together, we’ll explore the turning of the seasons, the Wheel of the Year, the cycles of the Moon, & the wisdom of the elements as guides for creating meaningful transformation in our inner and outer worlds.​​
​
In-Person in Seattle and Semi-Distance options!
​

Immerse yourself in a FULL YEAR of elemental, seasonal & lunar magic!

The Cauldron: You are the MAGIC is a year-long multi-faceted container, community and commitment that involves monthly community circles, an online platform, weekly practices, 4 seasonal day-long retreats, monthly Full & New Moon circles, guidebooks, ritual kits, playlists and more!
​
*Optional weekly connection & practice calls will also be held every Monday evening at 8pm.*
​
The MAGIC Cauldron is created for those seeking an immersive community of magical and ceremonial practices, that does *not* involve psychedelic medicines.
For my psychedelic program, please check out The Cauldron: You are the MEDICINE.





Monthly Ceremonial Circles
These monthly spiritual circles will consist of elemental exploration, heart-felt sharing, song, sound healing, guided meditation, shamanic journey work, expressive arts, movement, ritual crafts.
​
We will meet on the third *Tuesday* of every month at 6:30pm-9pm, in-person at The Fire in the Belly Alchemy CAVE the Cap Hill/Central District of Seattle and virtually on Zoom.
​

Monthly Full & New Moon Circles
​
To dive deeply into Lunar Magic and align ourselves with the cycles of the Moon, we will hold bi-monthly virtual circles on the New Moon & Full Moon.
​
These brief (30-45 minutes) online circles will be hosted at 6pm pst on the New & Full Moons, no matter what day these moments fall on. While live attendance is encouraged, the calls will be recorded and posted in our online platform for you to experience on your own time.
​
In our Moon circles, we will dive into ritual practices, powerful soul inquiry, and set intentions to honor the phase of the Moon and align ourselves to these potent and auspicious times for magic.
​
You will also receive a Moon Phase Workbook to help guide your journey into lunar magic practices.
​
Some of the Full & New Moons fall on our monthly Tuesday ceremonial circles, and therefore we will add Moon Magic to these circles.
​

Seasonal Day-Long Retreats
We will have four seasonal day-long retreats! These intensive retreats will include movement, connection with nature, song and sound circles, community meal times, heart felt sharing circles, elemental exploration, and transformative ceremony.
​​
These retreats will take place on or near the cross-quarter days on the Wheel of the Year: Beltane, Lammas, Samhain & Imbolc.​
​
We will also be honoring and diving into the lore and ritual magic of these seasonal celebrations during our retreats.

​​​
​Each retreat will be held from 10am-6pm at Paca Pride Guest Ranch (about an hour and 15 minutes from Seattle) in their large roundhouse yurt.
​
We will provide lunch and invite folks to bring snacks and other potluck items to share for community meal times.
Folks will be welcomed to stay the weekend or the night on the property in one of Paca Pride's many guest accommodations, (if you so choose, at your own extra expense).


Dates for Day-Long Retreats:
AIR: Saturday, May 3rd (Beltane)
FIRE: Saturday, Aug 2nd (Lammas)
WATER: Sunday, Nov 2nd (Samhain)
EARTH: Saturday, Jan 31st (Imbolc)





(Examples of weekly practices & prompts)
Online Platform and Personal Home Practice
In addition to our monthly circles, lunar circles & day-long retreats, there will also be an Online Platform and Community for The Cauldron, which will be hosted by CIRCLE. The online community will serve as a continual gathering place and space for community sharing, exercises, rituals, integration, and weekly journal prompts, inquiries, and song and beauty sharing to help deepen your practice.
In addition to online supports and guidance, participants will also receive extensive hardcopies of Elemental Workbooks to help guide their elemental & magical journeys.​
​
Each participant will also receive Elemental Ritual Kits filled with seasonal items for at home practice and altar building.




I ask that participants commit at least an hour each week, or around 10 minutes each day, to deepening your practice and partaking in the self-guided rituals, inquires, or exercises. Part of integration work is figuring out how to implement these practices into your everyday lives.
​
There will also be Elemental Playlists on Spotify to accompany you throughout the season, as well as recordings of elementally focused songs and chants for you to center yourself with. There will also be a community Song Book.

Don't Live in the Seattle Area?
Don't worry! There is a semi-distance format for you to join The Cauldron!
​
The semi-distance format of The Cauldron will allow you to attend all monthly circles & Lunar circles on Zoom! You will also receive all seasonal elemental altar supplies and guidebooks through snail mail.
​
You are still asked to commit to *two* in-person Day-Long Retreats, including the mandatory Air Retreat (May 3rd) in the Seattle Area.
​
You will be responsible for your own travel costs. We will be happy to help coordinate transportation to and from airports or train stations and help you think through lodging options.

About the Container
The Cauldron is a healing container focused on liberation. This space serves as a sacred space and container to heal from the wounds of sexism, misogyny, white supremacy, homophobia, transphobia, fat phobia, religious trauma, and the oppressive powers of the colonial patriarchy. This is a space to liberate ourselves from outdated conditioning, stories, patterns, and limitations. This is a space to grieve, heal trauma and find authentic connection in a sacred community. We will compassionately, yet firmly, seek to keep each other accountable to our own individual and collective liberation.

The spiritual practices we will explore in The Cauldron are rooted in eclectic Earth-based, pagan and neo-pagan magical teachings and wisdom traditions. The Cauldron is founded in the belief that there is no one singular pathway to transformation, liberation, or spiritual expansion, and honors that there are elements of truth found in all spiritual and wisdom traditions. ​



The Cauldron's practices and rituals are founded in honoring the four elements and the cycles of nature. Most every indigenous culture around the world has their own version of a Medicine Wheel and honors the four directions, seasons, and elements. We also honor each member of the Cauldron as their own wisdom keeper.​

​The Cauldron: You are the MAGIC was created for folks longing for big magic, ceremony and a sacred community--without using the tools of psychedelic plant medicines. After a wildly successful first cohort of The Cauldron: You are the MEDICINE, it became clear that a non-psychoactive version of this thriving and juicy community was also needed.

Avah Lux Anu (or Annie Herring, MA) is a sacred space holder and a guiding light for souls seeking transcendence and transformation.

Anu holds space and your tender truths as the kind, caring, constant and grounded Earth Mother, but breaks curses, rewrites contracts, and cuts away all that no longer serves like the fierce, ferocious and fearless Dark Goddess. ​​


Curious about what Cauldron is right for you???

Both containers have a similar structure, with the main differences being the tools we use for transformation & healing.
