Our Collisions are a unique and inherently mystery-shrouded type of gathering designed for those who see life as a grand experiment.
We ask:
what happens if we?
1.
Create a home for and invite in a diverse group of focused, creative, conscious and powerful manifestors and creators…
2.
Get them living together for a week in an abundant natural paradise…
3.
Nourish them with beautiful food and comfortable live-work spaces, and…
4.
Give them all the resources, support and structure they need for an amazing time, whilst making space for magic?
The answer is colorfully different each time;
And for the past 2 years, it's exactly what we've been doing.
The Laughing Orchard has become a community hub and transformation centre for a global network of beautiful magicians.
Since 2022, we've been developing the land with a vision of harmony, abundance, and permanence; through natural architecture, food forests, and a vibrant community of curious souls.
We've watched the land manifest groups of strangers, alchemize connections, opportunities, and transformations.
So we heard, and answered, the call to create a formal offering, rooted in nature, community, and magic:
The Collision
What’s a "Collision"?
A week of intentional accidents.
We know what happens when you gather a group of special, aligned beings in a place that's calling for them, without an agenda - we call it magic.
This retreat has no fixed program.
Instead, we create:
An environment conducive to spontaneous flow and manifesting ideas in the moment.
Our offering is simple:
This gathering is offered on a donation & trust basis.
We’ll share the true cost of running the retreat so you can decide for yourself:
If it feels fair to you, you can help cover costs.
If you'd like to support our growth, you’re welcome to give more.
If money is tight, don’t worry. The experience is about evolution, so just pay what you can.
Who’s this for?
This is for anyone who has a developed magical practice around which their life is built.
These could be, have been, and are by no means limited to: witches, wizards, shamans, priestesses, tantrikas, yogis, coaches, guides, facilitators, transcendental artists & writers, talkers, musicians, designers, entrepreneurs, inventors, connectors, innovators, engineers, firewalkers, psychics & meditators, healers, breathers, bodyworkers, lost world researchers, ideators & manifestors, discoverers & empowerers... you get the message.
The invitation is to bring yourself and whatever you need to feel comfortable; to enjoy yourself, share what comes naturally to you, and be open to listening to and receiving others.
Your Host
Alex Bulkin
Alex is the founder and visionary of the Laughing Orchard; we sometimes like to call him Dumbledore.
Alex professionally navigates liminal spaces between logical and magical, materialistic and spiritual, technological and intuitive.
His mission at the Laughing Orchard is to develop the relationship with the nature spirits of the land and to introduce others to the land’s power to create and manifest.
He describes himself as the caretaker and the guide, making sure that the visitors are aware of the land’s presence and power and can interact with it consciously and intentionally.
