This year, we’re gathering in the heart of the White Mountains of New Hampshire for a long Halloween weekend filled with spirit, storytelling, laughter, connection, workshops, food, friendship, and a little bit of beautiful weirdness.
Welcome to Halloweekend.
Hosted by psychic medium and author Josh Simonds, this immersive four-night retreat takes place at the historic Applebrook Inn in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Together, we’ll spend the weekend exploring spirituality, intuition, creativity, the mystery of life and death, and the playful magic that Halloween seems to unlock in all of us.
Over the course of the retreat, guests will enjoy:
Live Spirit Galleries
Workshops and group experiences
Outdoor excursions and seasonal adventures
Guided meditations and spiritual discussions
Cozy evenings, storytelling, and laughter
Delicious all-inclusive meals
Time to rest, recharge, and connect with like-minded people
All room fees are all-inclusive. Once you arrive at the inn, everything is taken care of. You simply need to get yourself to the retreat venue and settle in for the weekend.
And this retreat comes with a story.
About twenty-five years ago, long before the podcast, the events, the books, or the public work, Josh had the one physical ghost encounter of his life at the very same inn where this retreat is now being held. That experience would eventually become one of the stories featured in his book, When We Die We Come Up for Air.
When searching for a venue for this year’s retreat, seeing the Applebrook Inn listed was obvious serendipity. What an invitation.
Each participant attending Halloweekend will also receive a signed copy of When We Die We Come Up for Air, featuring seven strange stories and seventy-seven poems exploring grief, mystery, love, spirit, and the strange beauty of being alive.
This retreat is designed for open-minded people with curious hearts. You do not need to be an expert in spirituality, mediumship, Tarot, or anything else to attend. You simply need a willingness to show up, participate, and experience the weekend alongside a wonderful group of people.
Whether you come for the spirit communication, the Halloween atmosphere, the mountain air, the workshops, the stories, or just the chance to step away from the noise of everyday life for a few days, we would love to welcome you.
So pack your sweaters and bring your journal. Maybe bring your favorite ghost story too.
We’ll see you in Jefferson this Halloween season. And who knows?
Maybe the house has a story or two left to tell.
Rooms are priced for single and double occupancy below, with double occupancy meaning you’ll be okay with sharing a bed with someone like your friend or partner. Each room includes everything for the weekend - all food, room and board, workshops - EVERYTHING!
