This intensive is for anyone with a keen interest in learning more about The Morrigan and relevant Irish mythology and spirituality from a reputable, authentic source; people who wish to deepen or reconnect with a spiritual practice, and/or looking for spiritual tools to help them make or navigate powerful changes in their lives.

Absolutely! While the programming will be centered in Irish native Pagan spirituality, intensive participants do not need to self-identify with any specific spiritual tradition or religion. All we ask is that participants attend with an open mind and willing heart.

While previous experience or study with The Morrigan or other Irish Spirituality is recommended, it is not required. Pre-reading and prepratory exercises will be sent around to all participants in advance, which will provide the necessary groundwork to begin the Intensive.

No. This intensive is an opportunity for curious Morrigan seekers to learn more from an authentic source and gain inspiration from myths and practices associated with The Morrigan, but facilitation team will not be offering or providing initiations (defined here as rituals where someone pledges part or all of their life to services of The Morrigan). Should participants decide on their own to make pledges or dedications to the Morrigan as part of their personal process during the immersion, that responsibility and experience rests solely with them!

The Society Hotel is located at 210 N Cedar St, Bingen WA 98605. Because of its remote nature, it is only accessible by car. The closest airport is Portland International (PDX) and the closest Amtrak train station is Portland Union Station (PDX). Both train station and airport are both roughly an hour and fifteen minutes by car from the venue. Ubers and Lyfts do service the venue, but booking in advance is strongly recommended.

Airfare and ground transportation to and from the venue are not provided. Participants are encouraged to carpool if possible. The immersion will provide the transportation for one field trip during our time together, but all other transportation is the responsibility of the immersion participants. 

It is recommended that intensive participants arrive at the hotel by 4:00 p.m. on Nov. 14 in order to check in and get settled in, centered, and ready to join the program at 5:00 p.m. It is also highly recommended that participants stay through the closing at noon on Nov. 17. While we know that life and travel have ways of throwing wrenches at our best-laid plains, but it is highly recommended that participants plan their travel and other accommodations to allow them be present on-site from 4:00 p.m. on 11/14 through noon on 11/17. 

Yes! Friday afternoon will include an field trip through the Gorge to see the waterfalls and experience the majestic beauty of the Columbia River Gorge, led by two local guides and experts. Depending on the wishes and physical accessibility of the group, there will be options for either more adventurous exploration (hiking, etc.), or gentle space to sit with nature and meditate or contemplate.

In November, temperatures in the Gorge range from the low 30s F at night to the high 50s F during the day. This time of year can be rainy and windy, but may provide some sunshine. Warm layers are recommended as is a good rain coat and/or wind-breaker and sunscreen. 

Yes! The immersion will provide plentiful breaks and long mealtimes for participants to reflect and rest. 

Locally sourced meals will include poultry, fish, vegan, and gluten free options. Please contact Courtney at courtneyaweber@gmail.com if you have dietary concerns or questions.

Our meeting time will include very little physical activity, but there are walking paths and trails in the area for those who wish to get more physical activity during their breaks. The Friday excursion to the waterfalls will be designed with the accessibility of participants in mind.

Intensive participants must be 18 or older. In order for Intensive participants to best focus on the work, it is recommended that if participants would like to bring people with them, that these individuals also apply for the intensive and attend as participants. Pets are not allowed at the immersion, with the exception of ADA service animals. Please see site for more details about ADA service animal requirements.

Parking is available at the hotel, including two EV charging stations. All vehicles are parked at the risk of the owner. The Society Hotel shall not assume liability or responsibility for any vehicle, occupants, or contents while operated or parked near the hotel property. 

The immersion is designed with the participants in mind. The application helps us know more about those who will be attending and design the work with their goals.

For those who attend regular Pagan conferences, you may have noticed that when all is said and done, the total price of the immersion roughly equals what you could expect to pay at a standard Pagan conference! Conference hotel rooms are typically a few hundred dollars a night, and hotel meals are quite pricey…plus the cost of the conference admission, itself. In this immersion, all meals (excluding one dinner) and activities are included and the price of the lodging is far below the average hotel. The cost also ensures that facilitators are equitably compensated to honor their years of study, experience, expertise initiations and provide them with rest after the event. It also covers their travel and helps us provide the best quality food and support local vendors, returning the resources to the community that will be hosting us so beautifully.

It is the hope of the facilitators that scholarship assistance will be available in some form. With a program this new, we can make no guarantees. If cost is prohibitive, please watch this space for announcements on scholarships. If financial assistance can be made available, an announcement will be made on this site. 

The sanctuary at the Society Hotel, where the programming will be held, is accessed by a slight, uphill gravel path. There are no stairs needed to access the sanctuary. Two (2) ADA compliant guest rooms in our Schoolhouse and one (1) ADA Cabin are available, as well as one (1) ADA accessible shared restroom in our Schoolhouse and one (1) in our Spa & Bathhouse, and should be reserved in advance. Accepted participants needing support regarding other ADA accommodations, please contact Courtney at courtneyaweber@gmail.com.
