Midlife Magic of Release and Reclamation
Chaya
Moon Lodge
*Part of the Wisening woman track for women in perimenopause and menopause
The wisening woman’s time is one of great inner shift and shedding. As our hormones and cycles change, we begin to release our fertile years — and with this biological unwinding comes the release of possibility itself: of children we may not have, of relationships no longer serving us, of our capacity to over-give and over-function. To step fully into the truth of who we are, and how we wish to channel our energy in this next phase, we invite you to come together to grieve the losses of what might have been, and to claim what we are stepping into.
Mother’s Circle
Ashley
Mother’s Temple
*Part of the Mothers track
A circle for mothers and their babies and toddlers to softly land, exhale, and be held in the company of other women walking the Mother’s path. Together we share experiences and the quiet understanding that only mothers can offer one another. It is an invitation to connect, nourish your heart and get to know each other in community. Bring your baby, your toddler, your full heart, your tired heart, your joyful heart to be held with love and compassion.

Love, Loss & Heart-led Leadership
Rahlüne
Lovers’ Temple
The path of the lover has long been honored as a sacred initiation, one that asks us to meet both ecstatic love and heartbreaking loss without abandoning the wisdom of the heart. Through story, ritual, council, and embodied practice, we’ll honor the experiences that have shaped us, transforming them from places of survival into sources of resilience, discernment, and devotion. Together we’ll arrive fully in the present, listening for what Love is asking of us now and setting a heartfelt intention for the weekend ahead.

This workshop welcomes all ages and abilities, offering a slow, hands-on opportunity to connect with the land through creativity, collaboration, and play. Throughout the gathering, our Village Textile Loom will also be open for all to contribute to.

Menarche Rite of Passage: Maidens
Northstar, Nicole, Cat and grandmothers
Moon Lodge
*10:00 am – 1:00 pm*
For this initiatory threshold into the circle of women and the beginning of the girls journey of maturation, we will be gathering at the Moon Lodge to learn how our bodies are sacred temples that reflect the rhythms and cycles of Nature herself. The girls will adorn themselves and one another in preparation for the ceremony and make flower crowns symbolic of the sovereignty they are stepping into.
The second half of this block will hold the Rite itself, which mothers, grandmothers, aunties and sisters of the girls are invited to attend in loving witness. In this ceremony, our young ones will leave behind something of childhood as they step into their time of blossoming. Blessings will be received from each of the feminine archetypes, which are also contained within them and manifest in each month of their bleed, as they walk a labyrinth representing the woman’s soul journey they are embarking upon. *MOTHERS PLEASE JOIN at 10:45!

Leaving the Village: An Underworld Journey
KeyTurner, Raven
Forest Temple
*This session is for any age woman, and is also option 1 for the wisening woman track.
Through murmurings and imaginings, you have felt the undeniable call to walk out alone, away from the village, far into the forest of Soul. Just like in the ancient stories of leaving home, you know you must wander beyond the edges of the known, to gaze into the portal of the underworld where your mythic soul awaits, ready to reveal your deepest life. Come explore your pull to the women’s journey of descent through council, deep imagery and a brief solo forest wander as well as some reflections from Soul Initiation Guides, KeyTurner and Raven, about how you can answer the call.
Evolving Eros through Mother, Matriarch & Crone
Dev Bry
Lovers’ Temple
*This session is for mature women, and is option 2 for the wisening woman track.
Come explore the transformative power of eros during the perimenopausal and (post)menopausal years. Though often overlooked, eros in later life offers profound medicine for both the individual and the wider community, where sovereignty and interconnectedness become lived realities. Through personal sharing, breath, movement, optional hands-on support, and a field of generosity and permission, we will make room for the depth, diversity, and wisdom of Evolved Eros.
Village Dance & Drum: Following the Heartbeat
Kiely, Rahlüne
Temple of the Muse
Across cultures, rhythm has been a sacred technology for bringing communities into coherence, strengthening social bonds, marking life’s thresholds, and opening pathways for healing and divine communication. Through foundational drumming, folkloric spiral dance, and trance-inspired movement, we’ll make visible the shared heartbeat of the village, cultivating collective presence and embodied prayer as we carry this pulse into the evening fire ceremony. Together we remember what it feels like to move as one living body, rooted in the Earth and expressing the stories, blessings, and spirit of the people through the universal language of rhythm and movement. All drums and bodies welcome.

Following our shared dialogue, we will transition to the land to create a Collective Mandala. Utilizing found natural elements—stones, fallen branches, and specific dried botanicals—we will build a temporary offering. This act of co-creation serves as a physical representation of our interconnectedness and our commitment to letting go.

Soul Embodied: Enchanted Adornment and Enactment
Kiely, Stardust
Temple of the Muse
To become the vessel for mystery means to become the form of intrigue, sensual emotive desire, and the animist of your own souls curiosity. Enter the Temple of the Muse, where we will explore creativity as a bridge between the seen and unseen; and intentional adornment as a way to practice self-expression as ceremony and beauty as invocation; within and on your own body’s temple. Masks, Feathers, veils, jewelry, silks, eye curtains, head dresses and sparkles-we invite you to bring along any cherished item of adornment that feels evocative, empowering or that sparks enticement. Maybe it’s been needing a place to be explored, or perhaps there’s a fear edge you’re riding to claim it in sacred witness. Come and muse, as we step together across the threshold into mystery, remembrance, and soulful becoming.

This ceremony is a gathering to acknowledge where we are, to honor the realities of motherhood today, and to remember the village we were always meant to have. Together, we recognize the unseen labor, celebrate the strength and tenderness of mothers, and reclaim the wisdom, support, and reverence that have long been their birthright. Through reflection and ritual we make a promise to build a culture where mothers are nourished, witnessed, and never expected to carry it all alone. This is a ceremony of recognition, reclamation, and hope. Motherhood is not just the raising of children – it is the raising of culture. **Please bring a mug for tea and a journal.**

MotherBone, KeyTurner

In the extended journey of perimenopause through post menopause, there lies the forgotten or buried stage of the Wise Woman ~ a time when we are at the height of our agency and personal power. Many of us who enter this season of life know we’re called to a threshold – to honor or release what’s no longer needed for the Way ahead, to gather the bones of our deepest gifts so that we can step into the woman we are becoming. Come immerse in ceremony, sharing stories and wisdoms, and cross a sacred threshold.
