We’ll gather from 10am to noon for Morning Session (a workshop structure that will include intention setting, magical and/or energetic exercises, group discussion, trance work or divination… the specifics of our work together will rise out of the energy and intention of the day) .

After our Morning Session, we will take the trolley to Morning Call for beignets and traditional New Orleans cuisine. From there we will walk to the Cemeteries to discover the history of these stunning above ground memorials and discuss the magical practices associates with honoring our beloved dead.

On our way home we will stop at the Voodoo Spiritual Temple to learn more about the impact of this faith practice on the city and its people.

Evening Ritual will begin 8pm and will use all the wisdom and experience we gained today. Afterwards, a venture into the Quarter is optional.

Robin Murphy and Laurie Dietrich met over 20 years ago at Diana's Grove Mystery School. There they studied nature based spirituality, Jungian archetypal philosophy, and priestess leadership skills.  Both Laurie and Robin completed the three year initiatory path and joined the staff, until the closing of the center in 2011.

Their friendship continued and deepened over the years, as Laurie and others from Diana's Grove created a new organization, Expanding Inward, facilitating experiences based upon the teachings at Diana's Grove. Robin hosted many of these events in Kansas City.

In 2019, they found themselves both living in New Orleans.  They spent much of 2020 together, helping residents of the city navigate the pandemic, and broadening their magical knowledge. When Robin left to join family in Kansas City, and eventually the Pacific Northwest, they knew they wanted to join forces to create a safe and stimulating space for others to experience the magic and mystery of New Orleans,

Laurie (Mnemosyne) (she/her)  is a Diana's Grove-trained Priestess and a secular Buddhist. She is a Reclaiming witch, and teaches in that tradition, specializing in ritual skills like trance and aspecting, as well as death rehearsal and personal and communal shadow work. An artist and deathworker based in New Orleans, she is a wielder of narrative magiks, a holder of paradox, an eschewer of satisfaction, and a restless leaver of footprints that catch water.
