The Alchemy of Merlin & Morganna
A Retreat in the Heart of Normandy
October 15–19, 2026, Longny les Villages, Normandie, France
Your are invited to a once in a life time opportunity.
What if Merlin and Morganna aren't just mythic figures in a story? What happens if we connect with them? And what if, for four days in a castle in Northern France, we let them actually work together?
This isn't a retreat where you sit in a circle and perform your healing. This is a container where we do real shit. IFS parts work. Somatic practice. Past life regression. Sigil magik. Scrying in fire and water. Ritual on the land where Merlin's myth still breathes.
If your practice feels heavy, serious, or just... tired? Same. This is an invitation back into power and play.
The work (if you want to call it that)
Ok so I don't love the word "workshop." We're not making vision boards. We're doing magic.
And I'm not talking about the fluffy stuff. I mean two things specifically:
High magick — the deep shit. Soul-level transformation. Meeting the parts of yourself that have been running the show since before you can remember. Past life regression to see what your system still carries. Scrying in fire and water to receive what your conscious mind can't access yet. Ritual in Brocéliande Forest on the actual land where Merlin's myth breathes. This is the stuff that rewires you from the inside out.
Low magic — the grounded shit. Calling in what you actually want to create in your life. Sigil magik to set intention into form. Working with the elements to shift your external reality, not just your internal one. This isn't about transcending your human experience. It's about making your human experience work for you.
What actually happens:
Mornings, we go deep. Past life regression. Parts work. Scrying sessions where you stare into flame or water and see what wants to be seen. Dameos and I hold the field while you meet whatever comes up.
Afternoons are yours. Integration time. Walk the 10-hectare park. Sit by the fire. Nap. Journal. I'll pull each of you aside for private 1:1 sessions — your own specific alchemical process, no one else needs to hear it.
Evenings, we ritual. Calling in currents. Working with Merlin and Morganna as living energies, not storybook characters. The castle has a hunting room with a bar, a game room, fireplaces everywhere — the space itself becomes part of the working.
What Will You Experience & Receive?
Cozy Lodging & Meals
You wake up in a castle. Someone else made breakfast. The fire is already going. You didn't have to think about groceries, or what time to eat, or whether there's a vegetarian option. There is. There's everything. You just have to show up and let your body remember what it feels like to be fed — by the food, by the land, by the container.
Expert Facilitation & Rituals
This is a working, not a workshop. Dameos holds sixteen years of ceremonial practice. Together we open doors — past life regression, scrying in fire and water, ritual in Brocéliande on the land where Merlin's myth still breathes. You will not watch. You will work. And you will leave with something living in your bones.
Here's the secret no one tells you: the transformation doesn't happen in the session. It happens in the space after. The walk through 10 hectares of parkland. The nap by the fire when your nervous system finally exhales. We build spaciousness on purpose. Because you can't alchemize shit while you're still bracing. Rest is the work too.
Playful & Relaxed Energy
The Castle
Longny les Villages, Normandy. A human-sized castle on 10 hectares of parkland, renovated in 2024 — old stone, working heat, hot showers.
Ground floor: Kitchen/dining where we eat together. Living room with fireplace. Game room with billiards and foosball. A hunting room with a bar. These aren't amenities. They're part of the work. The bar becomes the place where protectors loosen. The game room becomes where your inner child remembers how to play. The fireplace becomes the scrying bowl.
Upstairs: 8 bedrooms. 3 en-suite masters with double beds — first come, first served. 1 large double. 4 children's rooms with 2 single beds each. Two of those are for guests coming with a friend or partner. Two are for the team. 5 bathrooms total.
The land: 10 hectares. Deer in the morning. Forest at the edges. Space to wander, scream, cry, or sit under a tree and let your system catch up. The castle walls have seen things. We're just adding our layer.
Getting there: Pickup from Chartres train station at 4pm on October 15.
What alchemizes when your inner Magician (the one who plays with transformation) and your inner Morganna (the one who sees your hidden truth) actually start collaborating?
I don't know the answer. But I want to find out. With you. In a castle. In October.
