Join us next summer for Weaver Camp in Vermont!
THE WORLD NEEDS OUR MAGIC and we need each other to heal and grow into our fullest potential for change-making! Join us for a four-day weekend of magic, ritual, and community on the Vermont mountainside. We’ll camp in the forest, eat spectacular meals lovingly crafted from local food, and open our hearts to connection with kindred spirits. We believe that magic is real, present all around us, and a profound tool for justice and transformation.
Our gathering is queer-centric, justice-oriented, and radically enchanted. All are welcome (18+), whether or not you’ve participated in our online modules or in-person cohorts. We believe that you are your own spiritual authority, and we value informed consent in all our magic. Camp is located in the forest by a mountain brook in Abenaki Territory (Worcester, Vermont).

What will Weaver Camp be like?
Camp starts at noon on Thursday and ends at noon on Sunday. On Thursday we’ll get to know each other with an opening circle that includes group agreements, introductions, and song and story sharing. Full days (Friday and Saturday) include morning workshops on magic, myth, and folklore, afternoon flex time to rest, explore the land, craft, and hang out in community, and an evening group ritual. On Sunday there will be time to share about our experiences in ritual and during the weekend before we clean up and break camp.
Theme for Weaver Camp 2024
Each of our camps and retreats is centered around a different deity and culturally-grounded mythos. We engage in an extended process of divination and trance work to determine what deity and story are going to bring the wisdom we need at this particular time and place. For example, in our divination process for Weaver Camp 2023, we observed themes of nourishing community ties, building skills to navigate unpredictable times, embodied experience, and building the muscle of mutual aid. The deity that stepped forward to guide us at our first camp in 2023 was the Lady of the Lake, from the Arthurian mythos of Britain. The Lady helped us explore the wisdom of Avalon, and discover the necessary strengths to cultivate now and in the times ahead.
We have not yet begun our process to determine what deity and mythos will be featured at Weaver Camp 2024. Stay tuned to this page, and join our email newsletter list, for more updates to come.

What people are saying about our online modules…
“I came from a very different background, and this is really my first exposure to magic use and weaving as a practitioner. It’s been immensely helpful in building (or in my case, rebuilding) a spiritual practice that feels ethically and morally grounded, as well as something that I can use to serve the larger community.”
— S.E. (Massachusetts)
“Sold framing, thoughtful context, well researched… substantive context is offered to help frame whatever is being covered. Opportunities for both shared practice as well as community workshopping of ideas and magical practices.”
— wildRose (Vermont)
“I have had the pleasure of guest teaching and attending online classes with the Way of the Weaver program. Jamie and Murphy are truly inspiring and socially aware community builders.”
