About Community OutWitch

A feminist non-profit circle — Parkdale, Toronto · Since 2019

Community OutWitch is a feminist non-profit collective centring and uplifting women, femmes, and non-binary people in Toronto. We create spaces for ritual, healing, creativity, and community connection — grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a place to belong.

Founded in Parkdale in 2019, we have grown from a small circle to a vibrant community hub, offering events, workshops, one-on-one healing sessions, a community garden, and a welcoming space at 25 O'Hara Avenue.

Our Mission

A Sacred Space for Women to Heal, Gather, and Grow

Our mission is to be a thriving community where every woman feels whole, connected, and empowered to shape her life and community with confidence, purpose, and belonging. Using a feminist leadership model, we centre and uplift women-identifying folk through earth based practices, rituals, gatherings, and personal development initiatives, creating a sense of community, inclusion & joy.
