A Full Moon Retreat for the Woman Ready to Remember Her Magic

The unbecoming:

✧ Reclaiming the witch within ✧

This is your invitation to return to your intuition,

your power, your magic—
the version of you that has always been there

just waiting to be remembered.

There’s a version of you who trusts herself fully.
Who moves intuitively.
Who creates her reality from alignment, not force.

She isn’t somewhere outside of you.
She’s underneath the noise.

The conditioning.

The fear.

This is your invitation.

under the illumination of the full moon in pisces,

(This is just not any Full Moon either—it’s a lunar eclipse!!!)

everything that is ready to be released begins to rise to the surface.

This retreat is where you meet her again.

Through subconscious hypnotherapy—Manifestation, ritual, earth connection, and deep sisterhood…
you’ll begin to release the layers that were never truly you.

This is the unbecoming.

For centuries, women have been disconnected from their intuition,

their magic

their voice.

This retreat is your return.

✧ WHO THIS RETREAT

IS FOR ✧

  • Sisterhood: The coven

    You’re craving your people. Your coven.

    You’re done with surface-level connection and small talk.
    You want to feel seen, understood, and held by women who get it—without explanation.

    You’re ready to:

    ✧ be witnessed in your truth

    ✧ connect in a way that feels safe

    ✧ receive support

    ✧ experience the kind of sisterhood that stays with you long after the retreat ends.

  • MAGIC ✧ Intuition

    You feel the pull toward something deeper and you’re ready to explore it.

    Maybe you’ve dabbled—or maybe you’re just curious.
    But you know there’s more to intuition, manifestation, and magic than what you’ve been taught.

    You’re ready to:

    ✧ understand manifestation on a subconscious, energetic level

    ✧ work with the moon, nature, and plants as living medicine

    ✧ learn how to use crystals, tarot, and ritual in your own way

    ✧ trust your intuition instead of questioning it

    This is where the “woo, woo” becomes your way of being.

  • Unbecoming

    You’re ready to release who you’ve been told to be and step into who you truly are.

    There’s a part of you that holds back.
    That questions, doubts, and wonders if it’s safe to fully be seen.

    This retreat is for the woman who is ready to:

    ✧ move through the witch wound and subconscious fear of being fully expressed

    ✧ release limiting beliefs around her power, voice, and visibility

    ✧ step into a version of herself that feels free, intuitive, and fully embodied

Living room with large stone fireplace, sectional sofa, leather armchairs, wooden coffee table, and large windows showing outdoor trees.
Chosen intentionally as the home of The Unbecoming, this secluded riverfront cabin is a sanctuary of earth, water, and stillness—just 30 minutes from Salem, where modern witch energy meets historic roots.
Tucked into private land, the space feels like a spell in itself: cozy, layered, and filled with intimate nooks, warm fireplaces, and soft places to land. It naturally invites you to slow down, soften, and come back to yourself.
Outside, the river, forest trails, and open land become part of the ritual—offering space for grounding, release, and reconnection. Every detail of this space supports what this retreat is here to do: help you remember, return, and reconnect to your inner magic.

HYPNOTHERAPY + MANIFESTATION✧

This is where your identity shifts. Through guided group hypnotherapy, you’ll access the subconscious layers where your beliefs live—and begin to rewire them. Secret...We manifest from our subconscious mind.

✧ TAROT + INTUITION ✧

Your intuition isn’t something you need to find, it’s something you learn to trust. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to connect to your intuition and also learn about Tarot. Each women will receive an individual reading. You’ll begin to understand how your intuition speaks to you and gain confidence in following it.

This is your invitation to come back into your body. Through Goddess yoga and guided breathwork, you’ll release stored tension, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your body as a source of wisdom and safety. It’s less about performance, and more about feeling.

✧ EMBODIMENT + ENERGY WORK ✧


Through herbal practices and intuitive connection, you’ll explore working with plants, teas, and simple rituals that bring magic into your everyday life. This is where the earth becomes part of your practice. Learn how to make tinctures, teas and work with herbs & essential oils.

✧ HERBAL MAGICAL POTIONS ✧

This retreat is intentionally held during the full moon—a time of release, illumination, and powerful energetic shifts. You'll work with this energy through a full moon ceremony, intention setting, working with herbs, plants and natural elements all while grounding by the river and the sacred land. This is where you let go…
and make space for what’s next.

✧ FULL MOON RITUAL ✧


Magic becomes even more powerful when you can hold it in your hands. Through creative, intuitive crafting, you’ll create your own ritual tools and objects infused with your intention. This is where play meets purpose, and your practice becomes something tangible.

✧ WITCH “CRAFT”✧


You’ll step into the energy of Salem and experience its magic firsthand. Through exploring the town, visiting local witch shops and crystal stores, and connecting to the history, this experience adds depth and context to the work you’re doing. It’s both grounding and expansive—bridging past and present.

✧ SALEM EXPERIENCE ✧


There is a reason you’ve held yourself back—and in this space, we gently begin to understand why. You’ll be guided through a powerful workshop and hypnotherapy experience that helps you uncover and release subconscious patterns rooted in fear, suppression, and self-doubt. This is where you begin to feel safe in your voice, your intuition, and your power again.

✧ WITCH WOUND HEALING ✧

Meet Your HOst

Hey Hey, I’m Melissa.

There was a time when I felt disconnected from myself—like I was living in a version of who I thought I was supposed to be, rather than who I truly was.

On the outside, everything looked fine. But internally, I felt the pull for something deeper… something more aligned, more intuitive, more me.

Before stepping into this work, I spent a decade as a nurse—supporting others in their healing, holding space in moments that required presence, care, and deep compassion. And while that chapter shaped me in profound ways, I began to feel called toward a different kind of healing, one that goes beyond the physical and into the subconscious, the emotional, and the energetic.

That pull led me into the work I now share—subconscious healing, hypnotherapy, nervous system regulation and reconnecting to the parts of ourselves that have been quieted, hidden, or forgotten. Returning home to you and remembering the magic inside.

The Unbecoming Retreat was created as a space for women to reconnect to their inner wisdom—without shame, without fear, without feeling like they have to hide the parts of themselves that feel curious, intuitive, weird or different.

A space to explore ritual, intuition, and the magic that has been practiced and shared across cultures for generations—now remembered in a way that feels grounded, safe, and your own.

A space where creating magic isn’t something outside of you…
but something you begin to feel within you.

This work is deeply personal to me. Because I’ve lived what it feels like to stay small to be accepted, to question my own intuition and feel disconnected from my voice and my body.

And I’ve also experienced what happens when you begin to shift that from the inside out. When you allow yourself to be seen, to take up space, and to trust your intuition.

This retreat was created to help you return to that place—
to shed what isn’t yours,
to remember who the fck you came here to be,
and to awaken the magic that’s been waiting within you.

Unbecome all that you’ve become…
and return to the magic that’s been waiting for you.
