Online Retreats
In Spring and Autumn I run an online retreat for the personal study and practice of Magia. It’s an opportunity for me to offer you guidance and support in developing a genuine practice from home.
These online retreats are open to everyone - you don’t need to be a member of the Ordo Magia to participate. However, the format lends itself to members meeting requirements should they wish to take part.
The dates for 2026:
11 Week Spring Retreat: Sunday 12th April - Sunday 28th June 2025 — BOOKING NOW
10 Week Autumn Retreat: Sunday 4th October - Sunday 13th December — TBA
Requirements to take part
An online retreat is for anyone who has read the book and is familiar with the practices as a result of personal application. (Familiarity is all that is required, correcting mistakes and growth in the practice is the point of the retreat.)
A copy of the book is necessary as an ongoing reference.
You will need a candle, preferably in some kind of lamp or lantern, for the Magia prayer.
A journal for recording your practice.
By the end of the retreat, you will leave with a deeper understanding of how to live in accordance with the teaching, a good grounding in Magia practice as a daily routine, and a greater appreciation of where we find ourselves during this current time.
I will be sharing an early draft of the Exegesis.
What to expect
An 11 week daily schedule of unbinding practice. A practice vow will be used for personal accountability during this period, including an optional renunciatory period of two weeks. Options include varieties of fasting, celibacy or abstinence from drugs (alcohol, caffeine, etc) and social media/internet use. The nature and level of commitment is up to you.
A weekly, 2 hour group call with me on Sundays at 7pm BST/GMT, where I will talk on a given topic, followed by answering questions and giving advice. Each session will be made available as a video recording for the duration of the retreat, so for those that can’t watch the call live it is still possible to take part.
A private discord server will be used along with Zoom webinar to facilitate the retreat.
Suggested Fee
The suggested fee for this 11 week retreat is £1000. You can pay in one go or monthly instalments. If you would like to take part but cannot afford the suggested fee, please feel free to suggest what you can afford for an 11 week retreat and I will add you to the reserve list. If enough people sign up to make the retreat financially viable, then a place will be made for you. If you would like to take part and pay more than the suggested fee to support people on the reserve list, this is greatly appreciated too. Either way just let me know what works for you.
Simply email me to say you would like to take part - including the relevant fee option - and I’ll send you further instructions:
