Classes at Harbin Hot Springs

Join me once a month at beautiful Harbin Hot Springs to explore various aspects of animistic magick with me. I will guide classes that focus on the elements, the sacred wheel of the year, meditation, and more. Some classes are based in discussion, meditation, ritual, and other classes explore the same topics through movement.

  • All classes are labeled below, but are subject to change. 

  • Class descriptions coming soon to Harbin's Event Calendar. 

  • All classes are free with your registration for a stay of any length at Harbin.
