Small practices.
Deep roots.

Dear Holo community,

The second Witch Camp weekend, October 22 to 25, 2026, is now fully booked. Both October covens, including October 15 to 18, are full. Thank you for being part of this community.

We gather in the forest on the Sunshine Coast, BC, for four days of folklore, ritual, creativity, and community. Think slow mornings, hands-on making, tarot, Reiki, and evenings around the fire. With a maximum of eight guests, there is room to arrive as you are and settle into the circle.

If you would like to stay connected, leave your details for future Witch Camp updates or ask about a private coven.

Stay in touch about Witch Camp → or email me at theholo.co@gmail.com.

With warmth,
Tessa

Dear Holo community,

I am opening a little more space for two practices I love: Reiki and tarot readings. You can now book me for an in-home visit, a party, or an event. Group Reiki and group tarot are available too.

Reiki is an invitation to slow down and explore energy work in a gently held space. Tarot offers another kind of reflection: the cards show us where we have been, the seen and unseen of where we are now, and the possibilities of where we are going.

Reiki home visits are $60 for one hour, including setup and a short integration afterward. Reiki events, parties, and gatherings start at $240. Tarot sessions start at $20, with events, parties, and gatherings from $200.

I am available for parties and home visits within Greater Vancouver. If your party is a little farther afield, contact me: some exceptions can be made. Please keep a lookout for pop-ups at local establishments, and join the newsletter for updates.

Email theholo.co@gmail.com to book → Tell me which offering you are drawn to, your preferred date, location, and group size.

With warmth,
Tessa

I have spent the past season building something I am genuinely excited about: The Holo Witch Camp, four days for witches and wizards who want to reconnect with intuition, nature, ritual, and each other. It is small on purpose, never more than eight people in a coven, and it runs across two October gatherings so more of you can come without losing the closeness that makes a retreat like this actually work.

You move through history and folklore, divination, spellcraft, herbalism, magical crafts, ceremony, and shadow work, all held inside a daily rhythm of slow mornings, hands on afternoons, and fire circle evenings. Everyone goes home with their own Book of Shadows and a collection of handmade keepsakes from the week.

The magic is not in doing more. It is in creating the conditions that let healing happen. That belief shapes every program and retreat I build, from the Nature Bathing Practitioner Program to Witch Camp. Ritual gives shape to care that might otherwise feel formless: a tea ritual to open the morning, a fire circle to close the day, a few words spoken out loud before a workshop begins.

None of it is about performance. It is about repetition that becomes easy to reach for, and then becomes lasting. When a practice is held the same way each time, your nervous system learns it can rest into that shape. That is the quiet engineering underneath everything I offer.

Every season at The Holo starts small: one walk outside, a cup of tea with no phone in your hand, a page written before bed. These are the practices I come back to between the bigger gatherings, and they are usually what people tell me they carry longest once a retreat is over.

As autumn comes in, I am holding two new October dates for Witch Camp, preparing the coming soon Nature Bathing Practitioner Program, and slowly shaping a few seasonal offerings that I will share here first. If you would rather these notes land in your inbox, subscribe below.
