Healing in the Forest

Healing in the Forest

We are sisters on a journey, singing in the sun. Remembering the ancient ways the healing has begun!

This year we are excited to welcome back our beloved healing village, a positive place for sisters to commune in healing and caring for our physical, mental and spiritual selves with the aid of a circle of women healers.

The healing village is a quiet supportive sanctuary for intentional exploration. It is an opportunity to experience a curation of healers from a range of modalities present to help restore, ground, focus, and accelerate your growth. During our time together as a collective on the land, many feel called to turn inward to a more private, confidential space.

In this space, women can integrate and reflect upon their personal experience, engaging in self care in a safe environment. We look forward to welcoming you to the healing village as a space for refuge, regeneration, and empowerment at the gathering! Heading into our 4th year of community as a healing sisterhood, we are deeply honored to be of service with utmost integrity, compassion, and respect for the caliber of women and work present year to year at the gathering.

It is beautiful to witness and facilitate this growth together hand in hand with gratitude, passion, and wild open hearts.

Please meet our circle of healers.
