join the magic
Join us at the forest-covered foothills of the Bavarian alps during the season of the witch for a 5-day transformational Samhain witchcraft retreat. As part of an intimate group with 15 other practitioners, you will deepen and expand your own witchcraft practice and harvest the powers of the hunters moon for reflection and change, perform rituals and learn new skills in carefully picked metaphysical workshops. As a group we will work towards your personal goals: healing, growth, connection and self-development, cultivating a deeper sense of self, groundedness in your roots, broadening your knowledge and experience in unknown practices, and much more!
All that while making new like-minded, magical friends from all over the world! Let the tranquil autumn landscape inspire you – relax, recharge, grow and ground with the seasonal energies. Reconnect with mother Nature during earthing sessions, green witch excursions into the colorful forest, and misty sun rise meditations. And of course, we will enjoy freshly prepared, enchanted kitchen witchery with seasonal, local ingredients daily!

The retreat will be held in a secluded, beautiful environment about 1 hour from Munich airport. Seminarhaus Lamplstätt is a completely reformed Bavarian farm house, equipped with spiritual retreats, magical energy and southern German comfort in mind. It is located in the middle of fields, forests and soft hills – surrounded by beautiful nature and magical places of natural power. The rooms are equipped with either single beds (in single or shared rooms) or double beds (for couples or single travelers) as well as a bathroom. Some of the rooms also share a seperate little sitting room, balcony, bathroom and kitchen. There is free WiFi in the entire house.
A wood-burning barrel sauna, overlooking the hills, does add a little spa touch – and it does definitely feed into that hobbit ambience the surrounding nature already evokes. It is the perfect place to relax and warm up, after taking a refreshing dip in the tiny private lake, at the bottom of the property or enjoying a misty morning walk at the crystal stream that runs through the forest. The private property (4000 sqft) offers ideal options to explore the local flora and fauna – from wild foraging to deer-watching at dusk. Take a stroll through the orchards, private forest and through the pumpkin patch and apple orchard, enjoying mother nature’s bounty.
A big fire pit in front of the house is the perfect place for a sacred bonfire ritual to celebrate Samhain, and enjoy a herbal-infused mulled drink with all the other witches. The seminar rooms are located in a beautiful 17th-century vaulted room. Equipped with yoga mats, meditation cushions, drums, gongs, a fireplace, adorned with healing crystals and tastefully decorated to set the mood for a truly magical, transformational retreat. A comfortable dining and relaxation room offers cozy space for communal magical meals – catered to your dietary restrictions.
There is also a little farm shop, in which you can purchase homemade jams, eggs, juices, local honey and other handcrafted things from the farm. You can meet & great the chickens everyday in the courtyard – they are the sweetest!
