Colour Witch's Coven - The Threshold

If you’ve found your way here, maybe you’ve felt it too - the noise of socials getting louder, the scroll pulling us further from real connection.

I wanted somewhere different. A calmer circle. A space where colour, creativity, and connection can breathe without algorithms deciding what we see.

That’s what The Threshold is: not about likes, not about numbers - about belonging, curiosity, and weaving magic together.

This is just the beginning. The fire’s lit. Step closer if you feel the call.

Cross The Threshold. Find your calm. Weave your magic.

I’ve been organising events for as long as I can remember. When I say 46 years, it’s absolutely true. I was Social Secretary and Fundraiser for the local Kidney Patients Association alongside my Mum when I was just 11. (I’ll let you do the maths.)

It’s not new. It’s what I’m good at.

In 2019, I made it my whole business as a freelance event manager, and I’ve designed, developed and managed some incredible events over the years. There’s something really satisfying about seeing people enjoy something you’ve put your heart and soul into. Creating experiences that feel effortless, even when you’ve had a week of no sleep pulling it all together.

So this isn’t a phase. It’s how I’m wired.

But I’m starting to acknowledge a pattern.

I get an idea. Usually more like ten.

You may have noticed that I’ve been a bit quiet in here the past few weeks. Not intentionally, just life, events, and my brain doing its usual juggling act - April and May are always full on Whitby!.

Behind the scenes it’s been preparations for The Gothic Gathering, planning Witchmarket bits, and getting ready for my first theatre session this Friday.

The theatre piece is probably the one that feels the most “me” right now. It’s called In Conversation with The Colour Witch and Friends.

I’ll be getting interviewed first (which still feels a bit weird if I’m honest), then opening it up to others, and we’ll finish with a bit of a ritual/Beltane/Full Moon moment with instruments if people bring them.

It’s not scripted. More a chilled chatty vibe with great people and let’s just see where it goes...

If you can’t be there - (Whitby Pavilion, Friday 1^st…

I have this up on the wall beside my PC in my office as a reminder of what I should be giving my valuable energy to, and what I should just bin off.

And thought I’d share it, because a lot of events are feeling a little bit icky at the moment. Not that I don't want to organise them or attend. They're just much harder work than they really should be.

So instead of saying yes to everything like I used to, I try this.

When an opportunity presents itself, I use my Colour Witch Event Compass I ask myself:

South - Belonging Am I actually going to feel comfortable there?

Or am I already getting that feeling I’ll be drained, overlooked, or not really valued?
