FINDING I CHING CLARITY:
A Path Through Structure and Spirit
Live-stream with recordings
On-going to 2028
12 sessions in Form; optional second 12 sessions in Spirit, or join the full 24-month mentorship.
The I Ching Book of Changes can be many things at once. It’s a practical tool for decisions: to diagnose, to spot patterns, and to guide your next steps. It’s a rhythm for timing that helps you sense when conditions favour action or restraint. It’s a container for ethical and relational practice. Its commentary, the Xi Ci, frames optimal action so your readings lead to better choices for everyone involved. Intuition and clarity that keeps divination relatable, grounded and useful.
Spring Scent Salon for Mother’s Day
Saturday, May 9, 1-4PM
Sangre de Fruta, 563 Artisan Ln, Bowen Island
An afternoon of natural perfumery with Allison Audrey Weldon, Magick of Tea sittings with Mimi Young, and botanical cocktails, held at one of Bowen Island's most beloved studios in the days before Mother's Day.
Guided by founder Allison Audrey Weldon, guests learn the fundamentals of natural perfumery and leave with a personalized botanical roll-on of their own making. Live harp by Grace Wickes and 20% off SDF products throughout the afternoon.
Mimi Young of Ceremonie will be offering Magick of Tea sittings across the event. Drawing on the gong fu cha tradition, each sitting is a study in precision: water temperature, leaf selection, sequence, attention. Guests choose between a competition-winning high mountain oolong from Mt. Alishan or an aged, roasted twig tea from Mt. Lishan, with a caffeine-free tisane also available. A tea tasting wheel anchors the sensory exploration. Each sitting closes with a brief reading.
Tea sourced directly from Mimi's most recent travels to Taiwan will also be available for purchase.
SALEM WITCH FEST
Yin & The Negative Space:
Daoist Approaches to Necromancy
Wednesday, August 19 at 1PM PST / 4PM EST
Live-stream via Salem Witch Fest
Western magical traditions tend to structure necromantic work through invocation, hierarchy, and visible action. Daoist cosmology operates on a different logic entirely.
Within this framework, Yin governs negative space, residue, enclosure, delay, and descent. Contact with the dead unfolds through ancestral momentum, altered timing, and lingering presence rather than command or display. Continuity between the living and the dead moves through resonance and cycles of return.
This class examines Yin as a governing function and how necromantic influence travels through thresholds, intervals, and interiourity. Practical attention goes to spell structure, ancestor engagement, and resistance work, with particular focus on when withdrawal, delay, and enclosure are more effective than force.
Suited to practitioners trained in direct invocation or assertion who sense those approaches do not always serve this kind of work. No existing tradition needs to be abandoned; the tools offered here integrate into what you already practice.
MANY HANDS RETREAT:
A Craft Camp for Making & Being Made, Together
A 5-day witchy arts + crafts retreat for making things in company
November 23-27, 2026
Bowen Island, BC
Many Hands is a five-day arts and crafts retreat for people who create and practice and carry a great deal, and who are ready to set some of it down for a few days in the company of others doing the same. It is held at Nectar Retreat Centre on Bowen Island, BC, a 20-minute ferry from Vancouver.
Across the retreat, we move through hand embroidery, relief printing, bookbinding, and decorated stationery, alongside assembling the Charms Box, which runs as the ongoing thread of the whole five days. Each person contributes to every Charms Box in the room. What you leave with is part cabinet of curiosities, part keepsake, part ritual object, filled by people who made things with you specifically in mind.
“Mimi Young believes there’s a powerful creative current running through us… Learn how to tap into that energy.”
