HELP US :) We have two more days of tear down to go, and a lot of the hard workers here have been here for 14 days.
Fences have to be taken down, volunteers have to get food and water in them, trash has to be removed from the field.

If you have some spare time today or tomorrow, please help us!

The party is over, but the field is not yet empty

Got some spare time on Friday? Help out with the last bits of cleanup in Geestmerambacht to spread the load over as many volunteers as possible and there will be food! Continue the patat/friet-discussion on the field (yes, this might be a hint 😉)

Empty lawn chairs, pretty lighting on the field and lasers shooting overhead at WHY2025, no people to be seen

There’s no “correct” way to do WHY2025.

You might spend your time hopping between workshops, or going deep on one topic all day.

Maybe you’ll just wander and stumble into brilliance. WHY2025 is yours to create.

WICCON isn’t just a conference. It’s what happens when a bunch of brilliant women ask:

“Are we really the only ones out here?”

Spoiler: we weren’t.

WICCA was born in 2018. WICCON followed in 2023. We’ve been haunting the industry ever since.
