A BLUE MOON
May 29 – June 1
A 3-day swarming of magical discovery around a redoubtable Blue Moon amongst the enchanted art-site of Mildred’s Lane. A time of growth and resumption, we invite you to share in an intimate assembly – What is Magic? A Blue Moon is a deeply vigorous time for manifesting magic; and the moon will be gleaming over the Spring evenings around the fires. Critically questioning the histories of the contemporary movements and practices of it – what, how, who, and why. Special guest speaker is present and blue.
