Meet Yourself in Transylvania
Meet Yourself in Transylvania is an intimate, enchanted journey into a land where history, heritage, and real Roma magick are still alive in the rhythm of daily life. With Fiona’s deep ancestral roots in this region, you will explore medieval villages and captivating castles, wander lush forests, heal the witch wounds and step into living folklore while enjoying the comfort of nourishing luxury and nurturing spa pampering. This is not tourism — it is a profoundly personal, transformative experience crafted with care, connection, and reverence for the stories and spirits of this extraordinary place.
Some Highlights
Forest Bathing
Step into the living green heart of Transylvania, where light filters through ancient branches like quiet blessings. Here, forest bathing becomes a ritual — breath slowing, senses opening, spirit remembering. In the dappled sun, drink from ancient mineral springs feel the land softening you back into yourself… moments of presence, peace, and pure, timeless magick.
Gothic Glamour & Pop Culture
Step into shadowed corridors, soaring towers, and weathered stone at Bran Castle — legendary folkloric home of Dracula — and the dramatic Cantacuzino Castle, filming location of Netflix’s Wednesday. Feel the hush of forgotten stories, the beauty of Transylvania’s darker mysteries, and the quiet invitation to awaken your own poetic, instinctive magic.
Roma Gypsy Magick
We will be welcomed at the altar of Mihaela Minca — one of Romania’s most powerful Roma witches. Alongside her daughters, she will craft personal charms for health, beauty, and prosperity, bless us with her ancestral fire, and share the living traditions of true Roma magick passed down through generations. Intimate, authentic, and unforgettable.
Sound Healing & Bowling
High in the mountains, we enter a nourishing sound sanctuary of gongs, crystal bowls, and sacred instruments for deep nervous system and soul restoration. As night falls, the energy shifts into joyful play upstairs in a surreal spiritual bowling alley — where healing meets laughter in one unforgettable mountain evening.
Artisan Villages
We wander through living craft villages where ancient skills are still practiced by hand — from the embroidered blouses of Korond to pottery, beadwork, weaving, handmade chocolates, and forest-foraged crafts. Along the way, we’ll also take part in one or two hands-on artisan workshops ourselves, creating meaningful keepsakes infused with place, tradition, and intention.
The Crystal Underworld
We descend 180 meters beneath the Earth into a vast hidden salt world and drift by boat across a still, crystal lake carved from ancient mineral walls. The cool, mineral-rich air is known to support breath, calm the nervous system, and gently rebalance the body. Silent, surreal, and deeply grounding — this underground realm feels both otherworldly and profoundly healing.
ABOUT THIS JOURNEY
🌿 Transylvania is not a land of fantasy — it is a sanctuary of memory.
A place where Europe’s last primeval beech forests still breathe, where volcanic lakes reflect the sky like scrying mirrors, and where mineral-rich springs rise from the earth like ancient veins of healing light.
Stone citadels stand unchanged for centuries. Wolves still roam. Women of magic still gather herbs under moonlight.
And somewhere between the enchanted forests, Saxon churches, salt caverns, thermal lakes and medieval towns, you begin to feel it —
a pulse beneath your feet — the restorative rhythm of a land that deeply nourishes.
This is a place where folklore, faith, nature, and magic have consciously coexisted — and where the Divine Feminine, in all Her forms, has endured in earth, water, prayer, song, and silence.
It is also the land of my biological father’s lineage — one I have spent the past two years exploring through research, history, intuition, and bone-deep remembrance.
And it thrills me to the bottom of my witchy soul to be able to offer you this curated, intimate, unique, and bespoke experience.
WHAT THIS JOURNEY IS
✨ Meet Yourself in Transylvania
📅 9–21 September 2026
⛰️ Optional Carpathian Mountain Immersion: 21–24 September
This is the ultimate nourishing spiritual adventure — empowering the magickal feminine within and without.
🌹 We will acknowledge the places where women who held knowledge, intuition, and healing wisdom were silenced.
🔥 We will stand where witch trials took place — not to dwell in sorrow — but in remembrance, to honor their courage, and heal the witch wound — within ourselves and for all women who came before us.
🌙 We will step into the living tradition of Roma Gypsy witch lineage — where magic is still practiced, protected, and passed from mother to daughter by candlelight.
🕍 In ancient churches — before icons of the Virgin and Black Madonna — we will sit in quiet contemplation, honoring the Divine Feminine in both her radiant and shadow aspects: wise, earth-bound, unbroken, and eternal. For many women, these moments feel like a homecoming — a bridge between witch, woman, and Divine Mother.
🩸 And yes — we will also honor the seductive Gothic myth and folklore of Dracula, visiting evocative castles, lantern-lit medieval streets, and the cinematic Cantacuzino Castle — filming location of Netflix’s Wednesday — leaning into the mystery, the beauty, and the timeless allure of Transylvania’s darker magic.
