Book Coven was born from a series of gatherings I began hosting in New York City back in 2022. We dreamers and weavers and readers - in  other words, witches who read. 

This is an intentional space to discuss literature and connect it back to our soul's work, as we often go beyond the book and open up conversations around our mission, values, and whatever else is top of mind for us at that moment.

The magic lies in the weaving of our own stories as our lives intertwine amongst the narratives we read and discuss. 

We celebrate the seasons and design rituals as a form of intentional introspection and empathetic reflection. We speak in turn, share insights, ask questions, journal, cry, and laugh. We explore the untamed shadows of our city lives. 

As a 'coven', I also love to incorporate some magical elements to the evenings, from herbal medicine making to oracle card pulls. Together, we investigate the depths of our minds and our shared experiences as modern day women.

It has been beautiful to witness how organic this community has blossomed. By word of mouth, the society is an open invitation to anyone who feels compelled to join a diverse group of women as we cherish our time together amongst cookies, tea and candlelight. 

Every session we leave with warmed hearts filled with gratitude for this special circle.
