Ardantane

Hekate's Torch and Key Retreat 2026
2026-11-13 12:00 - 2026-11-15 15:00 (America/Denver) | Ardantane Campus, Jemez Pueblo, NM, 87025, United States
Hekate is the Queen of Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld, Goddess of Magick, Keeper of the Keys, Torch-bearer, Guide, Protector, and Savior. She is celebrated every November at the festival of Hekate Trivia, Goddess of the Crossroads.
We will be gathering for a weekend retreat honoring Her at Ardantane, and you are invited.
The retreat will be in-person on the lovely Ardantane campus in Northern New Mexico’s Jemez Mountains. There will be new presentations, workshops, and discussions about Her history and aspects, and ways to serve Her as Her ally, priestess or priest; a service project; a feast; and ritual at Hekate’s Circle, located near a crossroads at Ardantane’s boundary.
As always, the theme and workshops vary each year. We are still designing the program, so if you have a theme suggestion or would maybe like to present a workshop, let us know: info@ardantane.org.
Fee for the retreat: $150 (for those lodging off-campus), $180 for those staying on campus in cabins. Beaver Bucks accepted.
On-campus lodging is limited, so contact Azrael at info@ardantane.org if you need cabin space. BEFORE YOU REGISTER. First come, first served. You will likely be sharing the cabin space with other participants. We can handle 1 or 2 smaller RVs, plus there is camping space. Other lodgings can be found in Jemez Springs, just a few minutes’ drive from the campus.
Attendance will be limited, so register early!
