What Is Witchy Weekend?

Witchy Weekend is an intimate retreat designed for modern mystics who want to blend ritual and real life.

It’s where sacred meets silly.
Where intention meets joy.
Where depth meets delight.

Hosted by Magical Michelle Orwick, Spiritual Activator, and Mystical Marissa Bailey, Creative Director and magical bridge-builder, this weekend is crafted with intention, beauty, and just the right amount of sparkle.

We gather at the charming Anchor Inn, just steps from the ocean, where salt air and sea breeze become part of the ritual itself.

THE EXPERIENCE

The Art of Living Magickally

This year we’re exploring the art of living magickally.

Not in theory.
Not in fantasy.

But in the delicious, tangible, everyday ways you stir intention into your tea ( or coffee), bless your body with oils, decorate your tools, and dance with your desires.

Think:

🌿 Mid-day margaritas, both alcoholic and non
🧹 Broom decorating and practical magic crafts
🌊 A beach ritual under the wide October sky
💫 Sacred circle conversations
🔥 Spellwork you can actually use
🌸 Play. Whimsy. Fellowship.

This is magick that feels like home.

A Day at Witchy Weekend

One of the most beautiful things about Witchy Weekend is that it flows.

There’s structure for magic to unfold — and spaciousness for connection, laughter, and ocean air to weave their own spell.

A day might look something like this…

Friday evening welcomes us with casual mingling, intention-setting, and a gentle opening ritual — the perfect way to step fully into the weekend.

Each morning, wake to the ocean breeze and a gourmet breakfast at Anchor Inn, where our charming hosts infuse every bite with a touch of magic.

Saturday overflows with playful enchantment:
🧹 Practical Magick Crafts
🌿 Elemental Breathwork with SiStar Beth Riley
🌊 Beach Rituals under the sun and stars
🍹 Mid-Day Margaritas, both spirited and non-alcoholic
💫 Sacred Circles & Magickal Activations

Evenings are for connection and celebration: family-style feasts, laughter-filled stories, and moonlit rituals. We may even conjure a ceremonial fire to release what no longer serves us and ignite intentions for what’s to come.

Sunday continues the magic with more crafts, divination stations, and playful spellwork to carry home.

Finally, Monday morning brings one last shared breakfast by the sea, heartfelt farewells, and a lingering sense of enchantment that stays with you long after the weekend ends.

Who this is for (and not for)...

Witchy Weekend is a space for curious, open-hearted humans who feel drawn to magic, ritual, and meaningful connection.

This retreat may be perfect for you if you:

✨ Feel called to explore spirituality in a way that is playful, grounded, and experiential
✨ Love the idea of ritual, intuition, and mystical practices without rigid rules
✨ Want a weekend away to reconnect with yourself and others in authentic fellowship
✨ Are open to laughter, learning, and a little seaside witchcraft
✨ Appreciate both the sacred and the silly
✨ Are ready to step out of routine and into something a little more enchanted

You do not need to be an experienced practitioner, psychic, healer, or “witch.”

Curiosity and willingness are more than enough.

This Retreat May Not Be the Best Fit If:

🚫 You’re looking for a silent meditation retreat or purely academic workshop
🚫 You prefer highly structured, rigid spiritual systems
🚫 You’re uncomfortable with mystical language, ritual, or intuitive practices
🚫 You’re hoping someone else will “fix” your life for you

Witchy Weekend is about participation, presence, and shared magic.

It’s a co-created experience where every person contributes to the energy of the gathering.

Anchor Inn | New Smyrna Beach, FL

Our home for the weekend is the charming Anchor Inn.

Quaint. Coastal. Intimate.

A private-feeling hideaway where we can gather, craft, sip, laugh, and ritual just steps from the sea.

October in New Smyrna is warm but gentle. The ocean hums instead of roars. The light turns golden and soft. It’s the perfect backdrop for seaside spellwork.

October 2–5, 2026
Friday through Monday

Four days of magick.
Three nights of fellowship.
A lifetime of integration.

This Years Energy

Past Witchy Weekends have been powerful.

This year will be playful.

Still sacred.
Still intentional.

But lighter.
Brighter.
More whimsical.

Because magic does not have to be heavy to be real.

Your Invitation

If you’ve been feeling the nudge…

If you’ve been craving community…

If the idea of broom decorating, beach ritual, and margaritas with magical sisters and brothers makes something in you grin…

This is your sign.

Come make magic practical.
Come make fellowship tangible.
Come make October unforgettable.

✨ Spots are limited due to the intimate nature of the retreat.

YOUR GUIDES

Magical Michelle Orwick

Spiritual Activator, Love Leader, Temple Priestess

I am Magical Michelle, your guide to a weekend of whimsy, wonder, and practical magic. Think fairy godmother meets beachside spellcaster — here to help you reconnect with your playful, enchanted self.

For over two decades, I’ve walked the mystical path, weaving Reiki, ThetaHealing®, Egyptian Oil Temple work, and sacred travel into experiences that open hearts, spark joy, and activate your personal power.

At Witchy Weekend 2026, I’ll be your co-conspirator in mischief, magic, and meaningful ritual. Together, we’ll decorate brooms, craft enchanted tools, sip mid-day margaritas (both spirited and non-alcoholic), and dive into beach rituals and elemental breathwork that awaken body, mind, and soul.

My mission? To help you remember your magic, embody your joy, and carry enchantment into your everyday life. Whether you come solo, with a partner, or a magical friend, this weekend is designed for connection, creativity, and playful transformation.

Step into the sand, lift your heart to the sky, and let’s make magic practical — together.

Mystical Marissa Bailey

Co-Conspirator in Whimsy, Magick, and Mischief

I’m Marissa Bailey, your co-conspirator in whimsy, magic, and beachside mischief. I’ve been walking the mystical path since my teens, drawn to the unseen world and the joy of discovering enchantment in everyday life.

I first met Michelle at a Fairy Festival in 2018 (because, of course!) — and the spark was instant. What began as a teacher-student connection soon blossomed into a magical partnership grounded in shared vision, laughter, and sacred adventure.

Over the years, I’ve journeyed to Egypt, Avalon, Glastonbury, Mt. Shasta, and the lush landscapes of Hawaii, supporting groups, capturing moments of light and magic, and helping others connect deeply with wonder, creativity, and joy.

As a ThetaHealing® Practitioner, Reiki Master, and Ordained Minister, I bring intuition, heart, and playful creativity to everything I do. At Witchy Weekend 2026, I’ll be right there with you — broom in hand, margarita in reach, and camera ready — making sure the magic, mischief, and memories are felt, captured, and carried home.

This weekend is about play, connection, and transformation — and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Flowy dresses, magical shawls, sparkly jewelry, velvet cloaks, or anything that makes your inner witch smile.

🌙 A Journal or Book of Shadows
There will be moments of insight, ritual notes, and magickal wisdom you’ll want to capture.

🔮 A Small Sacred Object
A crystal, talisman, or magical item that holds personal meaning for you.

You don’t need to have it perfectly defined. Just come with openness and curiosity.

Hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses for seaside adventures.

💫 A Sense of Playfulness
Witchy Weekend is sacred… but also joyful, mischievous, and full of laughter.

🍹 Optional but Encouraged
Your favorite witchy mug, magical deck, or anything that makes you feel cozy and enchanted.

✨ What You Don’t Need to Pack

Leave these at home:

❌ Perfection
❌ Pressure to “get it right”
❌ The outside world’s expectations

This weekend is about reconnecting with your intuition, your joy, and your magic.

If your inner witch is already stirring…

That’s not accidental.

Witchy Weekend tends to call the women who are meant to be there.

The ones who want magic that’s both sacred and playful.
The ones who know spirituality doesn’t have to be heavy to be powerful.
The ones who are ready for laughter, ritual, connection, and a little seaside mischief.

Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the circle intimate.

Once they’re gone, the coven is full.

✨ Reserve your place.
✨ Pack your favorite witchy attire.
✨ Prepare for a weekend of salt air, sacred circles, and unforgettable magic.

Your broomstick is waiting.
