House of Apples

Hello! We are a California 501(c)3 nonprofit that aims to offer pagan faith-based education that we hope will provide some helpful tools for addressing different forms of interpersonal harm within our communities. Our founders include polytheist spiritworkers with professional backgrounds in social services and clinical settings.

House of Apples brings together two preexisting projects: Strong Roots & Wide Branches and Macha's Justice, with ideas for future projects.

Macha’s Justice (MJ) is a gender-inclusive domestic violence project which offers resources, education, and access to faith-based spiritual service providers for survivors.

Strong Roots & Wide Branches (SRWB) is a pan-polytheist learning community for people of any faith and experience level to come together to work on spiritual skillsets such as mediumship, divination, or the ethics of spiritwork.

Pagan Peer Counseling Learning Community meets virtually on every second Sunday of the month to develop and practice our peer support skills, such as active listening and de-escalation, and includes guest speakers and discussions on challenging subjects like domestic violence, suicide prevention, and more.

"An endangered form of Greek that is spoken by only a few thousand people in remote mountain villages of northern Turkey has been described as a “living bridge” to the ancient world, after researchers identified characteristics that have more in common with the language of Homer than with modern Greek."

Have you ever supported a loved one through a tough time? Or maybe you provide divination, healing, or other services to members of your faith community? Either one of these options would mean that you've already been doing the work of a peer counselor!

Beginning in May, join us on the second Sunday of each month to learn from your fellow spirity and magic-type folks to develop and refine your skills as a peer counselor. Facilitated by polytheists with professional and clinical backgrounds.

Join us for an orientation on our upcoming (and first!) annual pagan-informed domestic violence certification training, happening this summer. This discovery call will explain more about what to expect, what it does and doesn't offer, how it contributes to our directory of DV-certified spiritual service providers, and how to get involved.
