Agenda

Come to the Magical Witch Circle of IVN de Kempen!

Do you love playing outside, stories, and a little magic? On Sunday, September 6, nature garden 't Loo in Bergeijk will be transformed into a real fairytale forest! From 10:00 to 12:00 AM, children and their parents can join in a super fun and special witch circle.
We start with a candle and a beautiful story about autumn and the Greek goddess Persephone. This way, you discover all that nature does at this time of year. Then you learn what witches are and how they work with nature– and you hear why witches actually have a broom, a pointed hat, and a pentagram.
Then it gets exciting: we form a circle, call upon the four elements Earth, Water, Fire, and Air, and write or draw our wishes on autumn leaves. Those leaves go into the fire, and with a cheerful yell, you jump over the broom to give your wish power!

After all that magical work, it is time to make “witch’s tea” with apple, cinnamon, and star anise, and to craft your own rowan berry necklace or herbal sachet. That way, you take a piece of strength and peace home with you.
We close the circle together and thank nature. You simply take the magic with you in your heart.
Come join us?

In these workshops, we work with the rhythms of nature and the moon. During moon celebrations, the different phases of the moon—such as new moon and full moon—are central, serving as moments for stillness, intention, release, and growth. The moon invites you to feel what is present and to consciously reflect on inner processes.

In these workshops, you will learn to work with herbs and natural ingredients, making use of plants from the garden and immediate surroundings as much as possible. You will discover which herbs can be harvested when and how to do this in a respectful and conscious way.

In these workshops, we use biomimicry as a method to look at issues from a new perspective. Nature serves as our teacher: ecosystems, plants, and animals show us how they deal with change, collaboration, leadership, and resilience.
