Part coven. Part camp. All joy.

Make things. Learn things. Celebrate everything.

CRAFTS ยท JOY ยท COMMUNITY ยท A LITTLE MAGIC

You don't need to escape your life.
You need something worth showing up for.
The Cinder Circle hosts multi-day women's retreats and creative experiences on Whidbey Island, Washington. Inspired by magic, frivolity and the spirit of adult summer camp, each gathering includes hand-on workshops like candle making, broom making and more along with lodging, meals, photography and connection.

Four things.

Every time.

what we do here

Make

Brooms. Candles. Crowns. Something real you'll take home and remember making.

Hands busy = Mind Quiet

โœ‚๏ธ

Learn

Tarot, candle magic, drum making, chakras, crystals โ€” earn a patch for each one

Skills that feel like secrets

Celebrate

Recharge

The season. The film. Each other. The fact that you made it here. There will be dancing.

Quiet time is built in โ€” nature walks, solo reading hours, the unhurried kind of morning.

Joy is the whole point

Unplug on your terms
