Thank you for mentioning therapy. As a trauma survivor, the red flags went flying over this whole retreat. What was spoken during the retreat and what the participants were doing to "heal" reminded me of many religious ceremonies. What happens to these participants when they go home and find what they did didn't stick? It could lead to a "what did I do wrong?", "It didn't work for me.", or "there's no hope to get rid of this pain" type of thinking. These deep traumas need more than a retreat to heal. While I'm happy they found the courage to bare heart and soul, I hope the retreat leaders encouraged them to continue with their healing by seeking a qualified therapist.
Exactly what I was thinking, a very powerful retreat but now these people need to do the legwork to maintain it. SkyLife literally gave birth to her inner child and she will need help nurturing that child.
I agree about seeing the red flags and being VERY reminded of religious ceremonies that it was actually a really hard watch for me even within the first 10min. I genuinely hope it gave these ladies healing but at the same time I couldn’t help but cringe because of my own religious trauma.
I can understand where people like yourself are coming from in dealing with religious trauma. Many Christians themselves don't even realize they experience religious trauma every single day without knowing they are. Though they blindly believe they're saved for holding back, not doing this or not saying that, or doing what their text says is supposed to be right. And then on top of that, if they even hint at potentially leaving the religion or disagree with it in any way, they have constant pressure coming from family and friends and pastors who all are experiencing the same exact trauma without knowing they are as well by doing those very things and putting pressure on the one thinking of leaving the religion. And it doesn't matter if it's Catholic, Protestant, or another Christian branch. That's just an example of course of one religion. Truth be told I have found this to be the case with any religion that wants you to go to them for all the answers and to no other source and has what's often referred to as "exclusivity". Meaning they want you to be exclusive to them, and them only.
However, the reason you see many "red flags" is because the wrong kind of people get a hold of stuff like this and turn it into something it was never meant to be. A lot of them make minor changes to keep people coming back to deal with the same thing over and over for their entire lives and that's why they get the kind of feelings and thoughts that you mentioned. But there are also those who were never taught correctly or hadn't studied in depth on their own. The truth is, in capable hands such as Mia Magick, her goal is to have you get it all out in one go if it can be done in one session without subliminally trying to force you to hold anything back. These kind of practices are ancient since before the dawn of civilization, tried and true, but again in the wrong hands things can go south pretty quickly. If you experienced anything similar to what I mentioned here, I feel extremely sorry for you, because some people just want to feel powerful and control others while the other bunch just want to make a quick buck, or it could even be both. So I urge you to not write it off entirely, and to have the confidence to know that there really are people out there like Mia Magick, that are honest about what they're doing and don't have any hidden agendas and have the experience to back it up.
But, one thing must be mentioned here. Some things just cannot be verified through logic, reason, rationality, or any other kind of method that the Scientific Western World would use to verify something. This is often referred to as U.P.G. for short, or in other words, Unverifiable Personal Gnosis. And because of the mindset of the Scientific Western World many things often get shrugged off as either fantasy or otherwise hallucination or both. Something like U.P.G. often baffles the minds of Scientific Western World thinkers and philosophers and psychologists because U.P.G. often cannot be physically touched and is even more so often cannot be put into words.
@@brinicole0325 💯!
@@mamazeta906 Exactly! Or help dealing with pain she has shut down for years.
I live in Glasgow and I looked into going to Mia's Scottish retreat this winter but HOLY COW it is expensive. Beyond expensive. Like thousands and thousands of pounds. That makes me a little irritated and suspicious.
for real, more people need to point that out. To me it looks exploitative of desperate/vulnerable people.
As someone who's introverted yet quite empathic, I would not be able to go on a retreat like this. I wouldn't be able to focus on myself but wish to help others. I can do similar things alone and if I went out in the forest or nature, even better. Never be afraid to give yourself time and space alone if that's what you need the most. Not everyone can or will get the most out of being in a group for everything, and that's all right.
i started crying while watching this video i can feel these women's pain. overall it was an awesome video, thank you Hearth.
This has me in tears. I would have loved to experienced something like this. I am absolutely holding a lot that I would love the chance to release and let go of. Self acceptance is extremely difficult for me but this just struck such a cord with me. I am in tears in the best way.
THAT IS YESSSSSSS, I FULLY AGREE!!! It’s not wrong to want to feel innocent kind of love that would seem unnatural or sexual to others!!
Seriously though, I'd love that a little more. I wish we weren't conditioned to see it as weird, cause it's hard for me to know when/ where/ how to ask
I appreciate you mentioning that it's not just a feminine thing. I'm transitioning, and I think part of me is afraid I'll lose the connection to the divine that I've forged over the years. So that was encouraging to me. Magic is about connection to the divine, the spirits, the powers, the earth (or whatever other terms one may use).
Be at ease. The divine will hear you and take whatever form you need it to take, just like rocks, fire, water, air and much more is not one or the other. They are everything at once. Everything you may need them to be. Settle into yourself, your true self, and the rest will reach you. I wish you a good journey!
@@Eyrenni 💙 Thank you.
It's energy not appearance, I'm Nonbinary and I've always felt a bit off when someone mentions divine feminine, I'm slowly relizing that it's energy and not appearance
Our soul is energy, it is neither male or female. Our temporary body is just a temporary body. Blessed Be
@@taleighshacinto33 exactly, I've always struggled with that and I'm coming to terms with it, Merry meet
So I just looked up the total cost of a week long retreat like this (she’s doing one in October) and the least expensive option - shared room and bathroom is about $4,500. Doesn’t say how much it’s worth in pounds. I hadn’t realised they were a thing in the uk, I’ll have a look around for them, hope they’re not all that expensive tho. Thanks for the video Hearth xx
I really love how non judgemental you are watching this. As women we could all afford to be a little less judgemental of each other. And although I completely agree that there is sometimes a need for professional help in tackling our emotional wounds, I also think that there is real merit in women holding non judgemental, safe space for one another to unpack that stuff too. One is no more valid than the other when we remember that we can be that safe space for each other.
The pure emotion in the video is incredible. I’d love to see rituals like this done with male identifying people as well. As a male practitioner it’s difficult finding sources that aren’t female identifying centred. I’m sure this also experienced by non binary people in the community.
I absolutely agree
Here in the netherlands, we have rage reatreats for man. These are beautiful days where you can let all your anger out and also share your feelings in brotherhood. I really think this is great for any gender.
Totally agree. I'd love to meet with other men and learn to safely unlock & let go of our own blocked sadness, rage and self-diminishing behaviours. I absolutely get that women typically have a lifetime's-worth of trauma (sometimes at the hands of men)... BUT - us men have had MANY similar experiences. I was watching this wishing that I could experience the same kind of release.
Ohhhh, Mia Magic... While I love Sky, and I respect Mia's hustle, I always come back to that word, "hustle." Sky is fantastic. I admire her journey, and the varied cathartic and healing modalities that she pursues. She always cries though. ALWAYS & HYSTERICALLY 😉 It was obviously a very therapeutic experience for her, but seriously, people go home raw from this retreat. What's the follow up? 6 months later.and another $500. IDK...
I’m about halfway through and I can’t stop crying. Watching these women vent their rage- it’s truly transformative for them. I can tell. It’s beautiful.
I was walking outside one time and I had an anxiety attack. I slowed down, started to rub my earlobe, and take deep breaths. I got home and I started watching a tarot video and it gave me an idea.
I started rocking back and forth on my bed reacting out my anxiety attack to help me understand it and I realized it came from uncertainty. I don't know if I'm officially done with them but I haven't had one since and that was over a year ago.
It made me release. It felt good❤️🍓🕊️
I really didn’t think I’d cry watching this but during the rage ritual part I was surprised to find tears in my eyes. Such a powerful ritual I can only imagine how amazing it must be.
Never did a retreat like that, i don't feel at ease when being with other BUT i can say that since I'm doing deep shadow work like that, I saw a big difference in my practice. I am much more confident and feel much more powerful.
I just have to say that this video was absolutely the most meaningful witchcraft video that I have seen in a long time. The rawness was so real and authentic. You are absolutely correct about it not being something that we talk about, but isn’t that something that we need to do as part of our own practice? It is the ultimate shadow work. Thank you 🙏🏻
I’m so ready for this video. Watching it myself, after working through a bit of trauma, I cried almost the entire video.
Damn, couldn’t get through this one without crying as well. Oh well. I love the rage ritual. Wish I could do that without the cops being called. I’ve been needing to scream for a long time.
My mom forced me to do that last ritual when I felt so undeserving. I couldn’t stop crying because even though I felt like I didn’t deserve things, I couldn’t speak it out loud. I broke down when I told myself that I deserved love and support, that I was pretty, that I deserve happiness.
Try to scream into a pillow, it muffles the noise 🌋
I'm so happy for you
I've been tearing up until the self love practice and I balled my eyes out, I can feel that. Beautiful. Thank you for covering this.
In 2002 I traveled to San Francisco, California from Canada with group of friends to attend the women's spiritual / goddess retreat in the Redwood forest hosted by Z. Budapest -- "Zsuzsanna Emese Mokcsay (born 1940) is an American writer, activist, playwright and songwriter living in America who writes about feminist spirituality and Dianic Wicca under the pen name Zsuzsanna Budapest or Z. Budapest. She is the founder of the Susan B. Anthony Coven #1, which was founded in 1971" -- credit to Wikipedia. The retreat was amazing, life transforming with daily workshops and nightly bon fire dancing, chanting, drumming and rituals. A lot of crying and connections, it's wonderful when you can be yourself. I have so many wonderful memories, photographs and still own pieces I purchased from the retreat 21 years ago.
I'm not a huge follower of Mia but I love her 'Rage Ritual'. It's an excellent way to dig down, grab and release pent up negative energy. It clearly works, as you can see how most if not all of the participants cry afterwards. Something has been let go, and it won't just take one 'ritual', but having an energetic way to do this is fantastic. I'd love to do this in a group of likeminded people.
This sounds like a shadow work retreat! So cool
I love how raw this is. Healing and reclaiming your power is messy, weird and otherworldly in the unpleasant sense (and not just Instagram pretty). I have experienced similar things in a group. We've worked together regularly for a year. Beath work, different kinds of meditations and my game changer - trance dance. It sounds and feels like you're in a mad house .. until you embrace the triggering feelings and give in to it. Then it sets you free :)
I cried watching the video. So many emotions. I felt everything with these beautiful women❤
There didnt seem to be anytbing Scottish about this other than the location chosen.
Very American, and as an actual Scottish Witch I found their video very disappointing.
American self help and shadow work is what this looks like to me, not Scottish Witchcraft. I dont know any of her other content, but it looks like the location was chosen for pure aesthetic and so she could charge then more for it.
If you want to talk about Scottish witchcraft, try starting with actual Scottish witches.
Just my opinion, but I had an instant negative reaction to this whole thing that remained throughout.
Edit: Thought it couldn't get worse, then she started going on about Harry Potter.
good point... more people need to see this comment
Something I want to organize on our farm in Slovakia ❤
Cool. Good luck! 😄🌛🌝🌜💚
@@Cernunnos_83thanks so much 🤞
this reminds me of christian "exorcisms", so it's definitely not for me. if it helps others, i'm glad it does.
I really want to see men doing this kind of stuff for themselves too. I hope there's something like that out there. So many men are dealing with so much repressed emotion. I also wonder what that might look like for them, just because I know that some men (especially straight, cis men) tend to feel more comfortable opening up a bit when they have more masculine trappings around the conversation or activity. Idk, just thoughts running around in my brain. I'm curious to hear about this from male practitioners.
Not gonna lie, this definitely had me crying. I'll 100% go and take a look at the original video, but even just seeing you react had me emotional.
In my room, alone, watching this, and tearing up, but holding it in, because that's what I'm "supposed to do", I guess. Pretty eye opening, especially considering the context here.
I loved it too. Even though this practice is new to me I can feel and understand the rawness of the people's emotions in these videos. It was honestly beautiful and I hope that one day I can be this raw as well.
For some reason I thought this video was going to be tearing this retreat apart but I’m so glad I was wrong. I’ve always been curious about these types of retreats and glad to see that Mia’s don’t appear to be a total scam.
I can't believe the Rage Ritual made me cry too...
Absolutely loved this. I'm a graduate student for therapy and also practice spiritual work. This was amazing
Really interesting observation about lack of touch as it relates to our sense of worthiness - makes sense, especially in these times when so many people are isolated.
I had already seen the original video by Sky Life a few weeks ago and found it to be very powerful and moving. Watching these excerpts again brought me to tears once more. I so appreciate your additional perspective and commentary, Hearth, I loved this video! I'm very excited as well as I'm about to attend my first retreat in just two weeks!
Very powerful. I can see how this could be so liberating and transformative. Thank you for sharing it!
Loved this! No idea hiw many times I nearly cried, I just wanted to give each of them a massive hug. Glad that they are shining a light on these types of rituals, really moving and educational💜
@15:46 I was sitting here happy crying for these ladies and then you said this. I'm experiencing joy for them being able to start healing, truly.
Wow I didn’t realise how ready I was for a video like this, had me in tears. I spent some time yesterday at the white spring almost crying at the Brigid alter and this felt like the perfect next day watch. ❤
Reminds me of Midsummer
🚩
I choose a song when I feel sad or angry that is written by that emotion. Literally burst into song like those cheesy musicals.
I've done three of her courses. But not her retreats. They are really transformative and powerful. They really changed who I am and my practice as a whole. So worth it!!!
Can you elaborate a little more on the courses? I’m curious about it and what it entails
@@AppleCrumbleston yeah
The first two where witch school level and two. When I first stared out in my craft it was the basic stuff, there where really great meditation thou
Right now I'm in sourcerous which is more hands on we have our own small coven we do the practice on live calls as a group you can do them on your own if you chose. Its a lot tantric work, healing and inner child healing and empowerment practices
14:45 this behavior may look strange but it’s not far from male expressions of rage. Men fight each other when they are angry.. they also hit things and break objects. The feminine body just looks weaker while expressing the same type of emotion.. except that these ladies are unveiling their feelings in a place where they won’t be mocked for it and they are pouring their emotions into earth and air rather than onto someone. I think this is wonderful. Wish I could have an experience like this.. truly. To feel allowed to express what you really think and feel.
Bet they all returned home glowing.
I’m not sure what just happened. I couldn’t stop crying watching those women as they fought through their “chains”.
I don't think a retreat like this is totally for me but I think some of the work that they did would be helpful, especially the rage ritual! And agreed, therapy is SO important!
I like that you gave ideas to adapt some of these practices for the everyday
Thanks for a great video! That was amazing, it had me tearing up with emotion. I would love to do something like this as I often feel like there's only so much you can do on your own
I personally have never been on any of her retreats but i would love to. Mia Magik does work with men and she is trying to find a way to have a co-ed retreat but she wants to make sure that everyone is and feels safe. She has been asked multiple times from men to have a retreat.
Wow. Just….WOW. I’ve been through some of these healing/releasing experiences, but not with other people. I had to go through it on my own. BUT, my healing came about through hypnotherapy, and I’m so thankful for it. Since having the releasing and healing experiences that I have, my psychic abilities have opened up and increased. Definitely a vitally important part of witchcraft, or any spiritual practice, really. I continue to work toward always being the best version of myself and living my best life. I feel more and more ME all the time, and am excited about finally being able to fully live my life’s purpose to assist others on their paths, as well. This video was really moving and brought tears to my eyes. Good for all of those amazing women!! Thank you for all that you do, for all of us, Hearth!!🖤🖤
I can COMPLETELY feel her grit @9:20 during this video. I’ve had similar moments of deep, intense, releasing bursts of tears and I felt that rage build up in my chest and throat and I just wanted to rip it OUT!!! I need to do that again, on purpose, with FIRE, write and burn and let that $#€& go!!!
gods, the tears I had watching this
Oh my God, I did not expect to cry this much watching this. 😢❤️
Fellow Scottish witch here
Very understanding reaction, Hearth. Thank you. You're right that it is a bit odd at first, but it's very visceral and honest and this gave me chills from the inside out, which is not something I realize I have not experienced often.
Tank you I really enjoyed your video. It is a part of magical practice I know nothing about but that réels true. I feel close to these woman and despite the weirdness of the practice as you’ve well said because we are not used to and repressing ourselves - women in particular - I really felt close to what they were both feeling and exorcising. This whole felt very true. Thank you it’s an inspiration I needed right now.
This is awesome!!! I wish I could go on a retreat… someday I will!!! Wow when they were in the meadow and sound healing I couldn’t help but cry myself.
This feels like therapy more than magic. I personally would not be comfortable with it.
Love how music is included Music holds such immense power our connection to the past the present and future our connection to our brothers and sisters across the world music has always been the most powerful to me.
I have heard of mia magic.
She puts on sminars oll over the place from scotland to usa, ireland to austrailia, its how she makes her living generally.
Thank you for sharing this one❣️
I have been feeling the need for years, to climb that mountain top and scream until my voice is hoarse. Just to get things out. It will leave me in a much calmer state of being and I can just get on with it.
I’m trying to hold the tears back as well. Such a powerful moment in the video.
I cried watching this video as well. So intensely powerful and heartfelt. ❤ (I had watched it previous to your reaction, and still found myself emotional this time as well)
So few people recognize that these types of shamanic clearing works are actually really essential in accessing our fullest power for the more recognizable forms of witchcraft that we practice ❤
This is sooo beautiful as you say and to be with like-minded others is such a special gift!
One day I believe I WILL be in the oneness of beautiful likeminded others. So Mote It BE!
Ok im not gonna lie when they was talking about the element of fire burning away the past i almost teared up the energy is incredible
This is so emotional, I would love to experience this!
New sub from england im a young english pagan guy your a true inspiration for making them video's
I went through a similar activity years ago when I was in terrible trauma and at that time I literally was so stuck in controlling my reactions and stuffing my situations down I could not scream. Literally. I tried but I couldn’t make myself scream. I could cry silently, and I did, but that was as far as I could emote. I wonder if I can scream now. I should try some time.
So beautiful I cried throughout the whole thing. Groups like this are so important for some people
I have been saying I need this so bad. I feel the rage anger disappointment my inner child is so lost and hurt and she just wants to feel normal and loved.
I had not realized the power that an Aries full Moon has. I *am* an Aries, and I absolutely should be utilizing this gift when it comes again.
This looks amazing. I wish there was a retreat like this in kentucky.
Whoa! Mia can speak at normal speed? Her videos are so great, content-wise, but I find them so hard to watch because she talks a zillion miles an hour.
What a fantastic location and what a magical retreat. I really enjoy these videos where you add explanations to the review. Always learn something.
I've already seen it, great video. Love watching Sky's videos, the way she fully immerses herself into the experience is beautiful and powerful ❤️🙏 I journal when I'm angry, anxious or depressed, for me it makes interesting reading in the future looking back on how I was feeling then. I also meditate and work with my crystals. Would love to do something like this though because it is so raw and powerful.
I adore the magic that is in deep healing, but I agree that a primal approach such as this isn't always accessible to everyone. It's incredible for those that it is, but I really appreciate you offering a different approach for those that need it. 🩵 I incorporate small scale versions of practices like these everyday, as I personality believe that our most potent magic is in the daily rituals that we offer to ourself. ☺️
i liked this video and it was beautifully filmed as well. i've been on many different kinds of non-magickal retreats, some for a week or two. i've found most of them to be helpful. (they did not involve primal screaming, etc, but we did walks through forests, reading spiritual books, and some group therapy, etc..) -a magick retreat would be amazing!!
Thank you for reacting to this video, Hearth. It brought up many emotions that I hadn’t realized were so raw and need to be worked out. I don’t think I would have found this video on my own. I’m going to watch the original video and see what I can do on my own. This made me really want to attend one of her retreats which is very out of character for me because I am a very private person. I seen the next one she is doing involves men and women (couples and singles). I don’t think that one would be for me. Obviously some of the subjects are different but I really don’t think I could allow myself to be that vulnerable in a mixed gender setting. Again, thank you for posting this. I’m always happy to see new content from you.
I was wishing you to release another react viedo for so long, even thought about this yesterday and I'm so happy now.
I'm having a visceral reaction watching this. This kind of retreat is something I crave but at my age I'm not sure I would be welcomed. I'm 54.
😢❤😢❤ I am crying. Wow, I am really really feeling their energy
i felt their energy as well...so strong
I watched the video when I was first released and I loved it. I do enjoy both ladies channels and love when they collaborate. I really want to see you in one of these colabs, I think it would be an amazing video to watch.
Absolutely 💯 amazing Hearth! I so applaud them for showing truth and being vulnerable, which is very important in shadow work or during dark night of the soul. That's been my experience. I hope one day to attend a retreat such as this or Rythmia in Costa Rica. It can be life changing 🙌 Blessed be.
"Shout! Shout! Let it all out!
The amount of emotions you can feel watching the rag ritual was so intense I had tears 😭. So powerful
Loved this video. You are amazing and I am enjoying your videos as I am new to all this.
I loved that retreat. I have never been to one but would love to should there be one in the US.
Thanks for all you teach and share. ✨
Thanks for bringing Sky to my attention! I hadn't seen her or her videos before. I like that you paused for the parts that are uncomfortable for some of us to watch. I definitely don't know if I could give myself permission to let go like they do in this video, and with a camera on me, forget it!
I'm not sure if you had this part of the innocent touch exercise where Mia (I think) says something like she wants women to _feel worthy of receiving the kind of touch they desire_. Like, wow! The way she worded that really struck me.
Hi Hearth!!
Thank you Hearth for reacting to this ❤
I will say that the techniques I found and used helped me in my practice of chaos magic, I did therapy and I was asked if a change in spiritual belief might make me happier because I didn't have a belief at that time so I turned to animism then chaos magic and thought that I have been able to heal more things while doing therapy.
this made me cry... I have some healing to do I guess
❤This was so emotionally charged. I found it slightly triggering at first to feel excluded (as I like to imagine myself as part of these videos)due to my gender, but had to remind myself that this retreat was specifically for women, or those who present as one. I felt a sense of abandonment due to simply being born with the wrong anatomy.
Soon after I forgot about my own hang up and simply listened to the video, being drawn into the flashes of raw emotions shown on screen, and the tears began to flow. From the burning ceremony, to the beating ritual, the allowing others to simply touch you innocently, and of course, Sky Life's emotionally-charged epiphany where Mia Magic helped her release her deep-seated memories. My body is shaking and shook. This type of retreat would be helpful for anyone, regardless of how they present and I hope one day to get to experience something like this myself.
Thank you Hearth😊
"I'm actually trying not to cry" I was thinking the same haha
I started weeping as soon as she screamed i feel stuck.
Thank you 😊. I loved this video about a video that I loved.
Mi first time watching you from Chicago
Damn! I don’t know why I can’t stop crying.
Awesome you mentioned therapy!! It's a vital part of healing the inner self.. now i have a therapist but i need something like this in my life, this look so freeing and i have a lot of trauma that is partly stuck because therapy alone doesn't cut it for me.. does anyone have any suggestions on where to find this in the Netherlands, or could you tell me what this is called, i'm sure you said it, but i forgot 😅❤
amazing..5 mins in and i wanna go i wanna go .oh to practice magic with other witches...
Most likely you can if you look around long enough.
Love your commentary!
I cried watching the rage ritual. What a powerful thing to do, to get that all out. ❤
Thanks Hearth
