THIS EVENT HAS NOW SOLD OUT
Ingrid Horrocks is an author and creative writing teacher with a long-held interest in women’s travel journals. Her own, recent and widely acclaimed, travel journal of sorts is Where We Swim. With its fluid mix of travel writing, nature writing, memoir and essay, Where We Swim is a compelling book from which to dive into ways that we can honour our own travels and the ideas that those adventures embed in us. In this one-off event, Ingrid Horrocks will come to your home to inspire you and your coven to embrace your own memories of travel and place, and will teach you how to direct those memories and reflections onto the page. We will talk together about what travel means in this age of Covid and share favourite books that offer portals into the magic of nature, travel and memory.
Terms and conditions for Travelling Covens

There are four Travelling Covens designed to take place in people’s homes: Kitchen Witch with Jess Richards; Stitchin’ Witch with Stacey Teague; Foraging & Writing with Johanna Knox; and Travel Memoir with Ingrid Horrocks.

Travelling Covens have been designed for groups of 5 - 18 people to attend. Each Travelling Coven can be purchased by one person only who invites their friends to attend. Friends then pay a donation to the host; we suggest splitting the purchase price evenly between you all. Please note that only one tax receipt can be issued (to the original purchaser). Verb is not responsible for payments between guests and hosts.

There are two date options for each Travelling Coven event however each event only takes place once. Once they are purchased they are sold out.

All correspondence with the Travelling Coven writers regarding each event remains with Verb.

The ticket purchaser agrees to:

Host the Travelling Coven in their home (or be purchasing on behalf of someone else who has agreed to host)
Arrange for their friends and guests to attend
Ensure there are a minimum of five people attending (please note, the ticket price can not decrease)
Ensure there are no more than 18 people attending
Allow Verb to collect guests’ names and contact details, and provide a QR code for sign in using the NZ Covid Tracer app
Allow Verb to visit the host’s home in the weeks prior so we can talk through basic health and safety needs and sign a simple MOU between us
Allow Verb to create a bespoke environment tailored for each workshop (this could include us bringing in decorations, cushions and lighting, for instance)
Allow Verb to document the Travelling Coven (this would not be extensive, perhaps one or two photos per session)
Respond to all communications with Verb in the lead up to the event.

Note: The host of Foraging & Writing: Johanna Knox must have access to a large garden or nearby bush area.

Cancellation:

If Verb is forced to cancel a Travelling Coven, then the purchaser of the Travelling Coven event will be fully refunded.
If the host is forced to cancel then a refund will be discussed on a case-by-case basis (depending on the time frame, some costs may not be able to be refunded. This will be covered in more detail in the MOU).
