About Two Rivers Sanctuary

Two Rivers Sanctuary is the urban, pagan-owned temple, school, and the motherhouse of the Order of the Elemental Mysteries.

Connect DC is our public worship group. We seek to heal and transform the city of Washington DC through magic, mystery and celebration. Our rituals are Wiccan-based, always free, and open to the public. We have been celebrating magic in public spaces since 1999. Our motto, “Stop, drop, and do ritual”, sums up our philosophy in seeking public and accessible areas to do magic.

Reflections Mystery School is a contacted mystery school with the purpose to train the vision keepers, edge-walkers, soul retrievers and seed savers of the incoming age. Our focus is soul work. We certainly offer classes on magickal and spiritual topics, but our primary area of concentration is evolving the soul.
