In celebration of the Summer Solstice—a time of potent energy and transformation—this event weaves together conversation, creativity, and ritual. Join author and witch Pam Grossman (“the Terry Gross of Witches” – Vulture), interior designer Olga Naiman, and textile mystic Christi Johnson for a conversation exploring magic as a catalyst for personal and artistic metamorphosis. From spellcraft to tarot, embroidery to comedy, these multidisciplinary practitioners will delve into how ritual shapes storytelling, art, and daily life. The event will culminate in a collective manifestation practice.
