Notes: I am not responsible for the content of any of these events. Contact the organisers directly if you have any questions or to check any changes or cancellations. I generally list things in the UK, especially in or near London, but some are outside that time zone. Where a practitioner is offering information about magical wellbeing and healing, this is *not* medical advice. If you are attending an in-person event, make sure you are aware of regulations regarding meetings.
