Hello, World!
RECULTURING THROUGH VILLAGE CONSCIOUSNESS
The Sacred Village is an annual women's gathering rooted in ceremony, community, culture, and our relationship with the living Earth.
For a few days each year, we come together on sacred land to step outside the pace of ordinary life and remember what becomes possible when women gather with intention.
Through ritual, movement, music, wisdom teachings, honest conversation, laughter, grief, and celebration, we create space for the full spectrum of being human together.
This is a place to explore, to express, to be witnessed, to learn from one another, and to share the gifts we carry.
Whether you arrive with a circle of friends or come on your own, there is room for you here.
Five years of gathering. A dream we continue to weave together.
WE REMEMBER
A WORLD WHERE LIFE WAS CULTIVATED THROUGH RELATIONSHIP.
Where children belonged to many mothers.
Where grief had witnesses.
Where celebrations were shared.
Where women gathered around fires, tables, gardens, and birth beds.
The ache we feel today is a remembrance of what has been, and what is possible now.
Sacred Village exists as an offering toward that remembering.
RECIPROCITY & GIVING BACKWe are committed to honouring and supporting the communities that have long stewarded the wisdom and traditions we celebrate. That’s why 5% of all festival ticket sales will be donated to an Indigenous organization or initiative. The recipient will be carefully selected and announced prior to the festival.
Youth at The Sacred Village
At Sacred Village, we honour the red thread of our foremothers and the daughters and descendants who will carry forward the wisdom, care, and connection we nurture here. While our gathering is designed as a space where women can centre themselves, rest, explore, and reclaim their power, we also recognize the importance of welcoming the next generation into spaces where intergenerational care, continuity and lived practice can take root.
We trust each parent or guardian to use their discernment around whether this environment is appropriate for their child. Throughout the weekend, there will be offerings that explore emotional depth, grief, sensuality, nudity, and mature themes. Please consider this carefully in relation to your young one’s age, needs, and capacity.
Parents and guardians remain fully responsible for their children at all times during the festival. A waiver will be required at check-in acknowledging this responsibility and your commitment to their safety and care.
This year, we will be executing our dedicated youth program for the first time. Please stay tuned for our launch in January for more details on offerings. We intend to continue nurturing this aspect of the gathering in years to come as we grow our intergenerational pathways with care and intention.
To honour the container and remain aligned with the festival’s purpose as a space for women, we welcome girls only over the age of 4. Boys up to 3 are welcome.
