COURAGE
As women, we are innately tasked with caring for others while asking for little in return. We are taught to make space for others while taking up as little room for ourselves as possible.
But we will not forget our true inheritance.
We are the wise women on the edge of the forest, communing with the nature spirits, casting healing spells, singing to the rivers and building altars to the goddess.
Each day we must conjure the courage to honor our most wild souls in the modern world.
Let's return to the forest together and recall our wild souls. We will draw on the energy of Summer Solstice and the Full Moon to celebrate our bravery, to care for ourselves and each other, so we may return to the world fearlessly with feral cackles and mud under our nails.

ReWild Your Words
We'll begin our event with this 3 hour journey into the liminal realm where the forest will open us to the limitless possibilities of rewilding our spirits. ReWild Your Words combines Forest Bathing with journaling with opportunities to share and ends with gathering for forest tea.
Nature Altars
with Amanda Montgomery
Creating nature altars is a playful and profound way to get intimate with the landscape around
you. They are both an expression of beauty and gratitude.
Summer Solstice Fire Ritual
Perhaps there will be fire. Maybe dance. Probably drumming. We will share a manifestation spell together, using the twilight space of the longest day of the year to conjure magic and our bravest selves for the months ahead.
Who knows what tent dreams we may have?
Song Circle
with Opal McCarthy
Learn new songs and discover your own in an informal song gathering to build energy and share our voices.
Gentle AM Yoga
Bring your mat or towel and join us by the river to allow the sounds of a new day to guide our meditation and slow movement practice and emobdy the previous night's intentions.
Not all of us are comfortable camping or have camping gear and some of us are old pros. We will support each other when the need arises, creating a safe space to ask for help from each other whether if it is being witness to heavy emotions or lending out a tent or giving a hand across the river.
“Fill your life with women that empower you, that help you believe in your magic and aid them to believe in their own exceptional power and their incredible magic too. Women that believe in each other can survive anything."
--Nikita Gill
Sliding Scale
Because I don't want anyone who feels called to attend to not come due to financial restraints, this event is sliding scale. If you have extra, please pay at the top of the scale to support sisters who might not be able to at this time.
