Coven Retreats

Sisterhood, Magick, and Healing by the Sea

Morocco Manchester By The Sea donation

Coven Retreats offers a truly distinctive approach to spiritual exploration, blending sisterhood, playful connection, and profound healing in the charming coastal town of Manchester By The Sea. This isn't a typical large-scale retreat; instead, it's a purposefully intimate gathering, limited to just 13 participants, designed to foster deep bonds and bespoke experiences. Drawing inspiration from the founder's personal journey of healing through witchcraft and friendship, Coven Retreats curates group rituals and spellwork tailored to the unique energy of each group. Imagine an adult 'creepover' where laughter, heartfelt venting, and spiritual discovery intertwine. The setting itself is a contemporary 'tree house' on 20 acres, offering a perfect balance of secluded enchantment and easy access to both Manchester's historic waterfront and the intriguing allure of Salem.
