The Witches Ball kicks off it's first celebration by honoring community and our Heart's Desire. Our community lives in abundance and we honor our relationships!

We are raising money for an amazing elder in our community, Colette Gardiner, to help make her life more sustainable. Colette offers so much and we just want to shower her with gratitude and dollars! Colette is a priestess, witch, social justice advocate, lead teacher and founder of the Blue Iris Mystery School. She is trying to keep the school as affordable as possible and with constant rising expenses, we want to support her in paying the bills and affording life. Thank you! ♥️

Please dress however you like! This is a night of enchantment! A full ball gown, great! Sequins, top hats, tailcoats, dress, camisole, vests, bloomers, bowties, ascots...splendid, this is a great night to go as over the top as you desire! Also no pressure, anything goes!

For the sliding scale please pay what you can, this is to help ensure the evening is available to all. Check in and see what you can honestly contribute. Food will be lightly catered with a buffet spread, not a sit down dinner. Our menu will lean towards vegan & gluten free options, with a few meat dishes. There will be a bar-tender for herbal frolick-tails. This is an alcohol & drug free event.

UPDATE:
Dearest Magical Community,
We made a mistake with the Victorian theme. This choice was not in line with our values and we sincerely apologize if anyone felt excluded by this. When we checked in with spirit, this was the style that presented itself so we went with it. We understand that it was a time of repression and not safe for bipoc and marginalized peoples. In the future we will make sure that the info we receive magically is in line with our integrity. Please dress up as you desire! The intention of the ball is to celebrate community and honor our hearts desire. This will be an evening of joy, love & magic ♥️
